^semi-duplicate post because I did one on my phone and it hadn't seemed to have worked!

the abnormally tall ?Dave was over 6 foot, I'm 5'11 - BTW our heads are cut off not for any privacy reasons - but because the pics were taken on an old 35mm SLR with a mechanical timer - those were the days when you didn't get to see the picture until the prints came back from the chemist! I...

Yes Dave was comfortably over 6 foot, I'm 5'11 so there's a sort-of size comparison! What the picture doesn't convey is the weight - getting them into the upstairs dem room was epic! BTW I haven't cropped the me-and-Dave pic - it was taken on a 35mm camera on a timer, and my aim was obviously...

Sounds like you just need a bit of luck with the bass drivers then, as you say they were bespoke so repair would be the only option, if it is an option... I suspect there were spec changes through the short life-cycle - I pretty sure the 110s for the ones I built just came out of a production...

I found a few pics, any advice how to get them into a post? a Google Docs shared link doesn't work....:

Hi Paul, now you're asking - really getting me to cast my mind back! Having a proper look through the thread and seeing all the pics brings back happy memories - although the ported version wasn't a thing when I was there. Ref centering the midrange units, I don't fully recall, although I...

Hi Paul, I've just stumbled over your thread, fascinating that a pair of KM1s have survived and are in good hands! I worked in R&D at KEF during my university holidays in 1983/84, and in the summer of '84 I was the KM1 production line. I assembled the first 10 production units or so, IIRC 4...
