These Cambridge Audio R40’s are in excellent condition for their age and have a rare real wood veneer that I have never seen on another pair.
They have been modified over the years. Initially the original poor crossover’s were removed, drivers re-wired with Van Damme OFC Hi-Fi cable, each driver having its own pair of terminals to allow for tri-wiring, tri amping or active crossover setup’s. External Falcon Acoustics super power crossovers were in use for a long while. But finally, the Russ Andrews upgrade was implemented which consists of just two Jantzen Superior Z-caps per speaker (see photos).
The result is Stunning:
The Kef B139 Bass goes extremely low, has a rich fullness and is free from traditional speaker box boominess.
The Kef B110 sounds very natural/lifelike, particularly with vocals and piano.
The Kef T27 is very smooth, accurate and focused (helped by the included BBC LS3/5a felt squares by Falcon Acoustics)
Overall they have a massive soundstage and a very addictive sound quality.
The original Badges are included but I preferred the look without.
The original long hair lambs wool is still present. Many people remove this and ruin the transmission line.
Can demo on collection.
