[QUOTE="bearenzo, post: 863939, member: 3437"] They are the entry level KEF at 1988 http://www.kef.com/html/pl/explore/about_kef/museum/1980s/C15_C25_C35_C45_C55_C65_C/index.html I suggest you check if all drivers are in working condition before you invest more on them. I was some experience with the KEF Q60 & Q80 ( which is similar design to C35 / C55 ) The Q80 & C55 are all enclosure type with passive radiator. I found Q80 has great body & smooth sound with vocal music, not definitely not fast, punchy & detailed. Overall, I will say its sound is warm, smooth & rich, but sometime slow & muddy. Amp with cleaner sound like Rotel, Audiolab, Onix, exporsure,,etc is a better match Amp with slow & warm sound like old Marantz is a No No. [/QUOTE]
