Used to have a pair of these they sounded amazingly powerful low end
And midrange very impressive.
Wow!!! I liked. are excellent speakers. Have a good inner liner.
As always, I like your videos but what I do not enjoy is the music you run during that presentation. It can certainly use some improvement in that area. Thank you!
The good thing is theres no audio dialogue so you can just mute it.
A friend of mine who works in hifi retail once visited Arcam's place. He noticed a disassembled Technics amp poorly hidden from sight in one room.
Find yourself a set of mechanic's small pick tools. Much easier to remove stubborn speakers. Any auto shop will have them. A good video of a speaker built to a price. Nothing wrong with that, if you don't like 'em you don't buy them.....simple. Good stuff for a budget system.
Автору спасибо, ахуительный разбор, особенно когда динамик вылетел на пол, это по нашему!
Потом на авито их «муха не сидела»
@@imemine246 Точно точно! ...муха не сидела. Причём, ни разу!
😅😅😅😅🤣
Eigentlich immer interessant zu sehen, was die "großen" Marken oft für ein Billigmist verbauen. Diese Kanal ist genau so gut, wie einzelne Bauteile in diesem Video. So unbeholfen wie der Herr mit den Sachen umgeht, ist es kein Wunder das die Hifisachen nur noch billig produziert werden.
"für einen! Billigmist bauen". Erst einmal Deutsch lernen. Du Depp. Bist ein extremer Hohlkopf.
1:14 feels bad for the rubber suspension :(
That's had the tweeters replaced,theres a pair that's just come up for sale where I live,in black ash,and on the tweeter is KEF logo
thanks ;)
Does anyone know the capacitor values for the cresta 2's at all? Im considering replacing them with new. Cheers
Looked like a mission getting the woofer out, was there another screw behind the first ones?
Интересно, спасибо
I just was thinking in loud voice, about the improper procedure of the dissasembly of this fine speaker...then the FATALITY at 1:07. (palmface!)
Come on!!!
Very nice , kef woofers are always very hight quality
and it's low end series speakers, but sound so good for so good price.
It's a Peerless OEM jobbie. Good quality budget drivers but surprised to see them in a kef speaker, who usually use their own.
Come to think of it everyone was doing OEM back in the late 90's, this whole system might be OEM with a Kef badge on it
Did you damage the woofer?
look like he did damage the woofer
inside the dynaudio 70 there is foam on the walls.Wadding is used by cheap speakers.Try Replace with 3-4cm foam.I think it would be even better
You need to dampen cabinet walls. Stick metallic pads with silicon inside. Take out that silly upholstery stuff. Stick large neoprene pads inside too, put silicon gaskets, on speakers and the plastic cable receptacle, take out the awful electrolitics from the X over. Solder decent caps. you ll be amazed at the reached clarity.
Паралон дермо! Он съедает акустический объем колонки. Для этих целей идеальны вата, шерсть, войлок
Is it kEF...??surprised to see a non magnetic shielded speaker in......
Tweeters can’t be original, I don’t believe kef would put a technics tweeter in there speakers
looks like you are right, i looked at other pictures and there's seems different, kef tweeter :) Thanks, i hadn't even noticed this nuance from outside. www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/kef/cresta-3.shtml
I though kef usually use uni q drivers with the tweeter in the middle?
Well spotted, the tweeter on my Cresta 3 is completely different, they also have a chrome Kef logo on the top.
Have them sitting right in front of me and yep not genuine
Yes Kef use Kef parts mostly.
like it from indonesia
KEF Cresta 2 has the exact same specs, in a smaller box. Same for successors Cresta 10 and 30.
I was thinking that. If it had double drivers id think it was worth the extra cost 😊
I would experiment with a longer port tube and possibly a 90 degree elbow port tube and you would get more bass and possibly a different bass sound, frequency all together. The port tube these have are way to short.
And yes, I know that they are factory installed but changing that port tube would only cost a few bucks. Actually the drivers in these speakers look very cheaply made.
The crossover though looks very nice.
After experiment write down review.
I wonder if these are knockoffs or originals. Kef is a company that has marketed its products through cheap retail stores so I would be careful. They have been known for quality in the past. I have a set of 104s that I purchased in about 1981. They have help up very well and still sound amazing. Thanks for showing us what is really inside some of today's KEFs. Let the buyer beware.
I was expecting to see the same rear terminal plate as the cresta 2's maybe your onto something there🤔
I can tell you what's in a speaker even without looking.
Well, bless your heart!
Still own a pair these bought new in 2000 the tweeters are indeed not the originals.
😊
Technics tweeter ?
those tweeter are not original, they have been replaced.
Elvin Echevarria
Only box speaker KEF...
Rest all fake....
😀
Ouch, I just knew 1.44 was going to happen before it happened. Always lay the cabinet on it's back when removing the drivers
Also at 1.53, Kef using Peerless OEM drivers? 🤔
For the last 2 years ive dove deep into speaker drivers high end and low end,for my DIY projects when i realized id never be able to afford really high end speakers cause the prices are made up by dick heads money grubbers.Anyways High end woofers and tweeters can cost between 50 and 500 each.In this speaker id say even less than 50 each. I been using seas and scanspeak woofers and tweeters in my diy speakers,with custom made crossovers that for sure are way better than what you get in the lol high end speaker. It took me a bit to get good at cabinet building and finishing,but thank the lord that now i can build a speaker pair for 1000 and it be worth 30,000 a pair from these money loving scums. DIY guys dont pay for some corporate jet plane.
I also have full DIY custom 2.1 system, when I want listen realy loud and quality music: ruclips.net/video/SJ6Bn6s5BLg/видео.html
I also DIY, but "thank the lord?"
Did he lend you his tools?
Did he give you useful pointers so you didn't go down any blind alleys?
I would think it was your own brains, skill, hard work and problem solving that got those speakers built, my brother.
Peace.
j'espère que les haut-parleurs sont meilleurs que leur ébénisterie et le filtre
Tengo una duda ...Son originales esos parlantes ???.............como que el tweeter es Technics ?????
@@mcarrasco45 eng please
No bad.
Not bad at all.
please test the trust byron 2.1
I put it in a test wish list
Wtf were you thinking with that background music? I couldn't watch the video it was so bad...
You can mute sound on RUclips if there is no audio content worth listening to. Like this video.
exactly and background turn on your favorite music.
@@Techscrews turn on? When I am at my PC it randomly cycles through my music library and plays music endlessly. I have to pause it if I ever want to hear just something else. Right now it is playing Layla by Eric Clapton.
Я бы это видео назвал - я у мамы рукожоп! судя по тому как вы разобрали акустику))))))
Eu fico meio decepcionado com esses divisores. Capacitor eletrolitico, indutores com bitola pequena e este da KEF ainda por cima usa núcleo de ferrite. Se fizer um upgrade com indutores de núcleo de ar e bitola mais grossa e trocar por capacitores de polipropileno de boa qualidade o ganho é garantido.
Gosh!.. pretty ordinary construction methinks..
No bracing in the cabinet and drivers of Asian origin?!!
Then again, these are nowhere near the top of the range KEFs.
One gets what one pays for...
Te falta desmontar la caja para ver el tipo de cola y cortar un trozo para analizar el serrín!
а зачем разбирать ..разве они не работали??? или автор знает что такое отвертка??
Что бы ты видел что они из себя представляют и стоят ли своих денег.
อุปกรณ์ภายในวงจร ยังใช้ C แบบอิเล็กทรอไลค์อยู่เลย ไม่สมกับเป็นแบรนด์ ราคาแพงเลยน่ะ ผมประกอบขึ้นมาใช้เอง ผมยังกล้าซื้อ ของเกรดดีๆใส่ภายในวงจรเลย 😆😆😆😆
Technics tweeter ? 😂😂
lol Panasonic
@@joeygonzo technics brother ! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have kef coda 8
and how you like ?

Вот если бы туда советский 25ГД26б вместо этого НЧ динамика поставить было бы повеселее.
🤔👌👌👌🌻
Сильно разочаровали. Начинка, материалы и динамики еле дотягивают до хайфай.
Думал Jamo дерьмо со штамповаными корзинами, но эти пластиковые их переплюнули на голову.
но эти Cresta 3 самые дешевые из Kef
что плохого с штампованных корзинах?
Plastic. No damping. No decoupling.
нормальная бы получилась полочная акустика, так нет же надо за модой гнаться и сделать колону((
The damnspeaker don't move...
speaker 3 ohm.......?.........how 8 ohm box?
with tweeter and audio crossover.
двух полосный ХЛАМ
А чего хлам?
А какой смысл делать разбор колонок если в них не родные Вч динамики стоят? Ну хоть не крутить их так на камеру... Это не родные ВЧ!!! Даже визуально это видно.
Динамик мидбас знатно запустил по полу)))
Скромненько-не хай-фай=точно
Hmmm ... those caps are cheap. But I guess KEF did an A/B comparison and figured it didn't an audible difference (as it so often doesn't).
exactly, main is A/B comparison result, not a audiophile "snake oil"
What??. The tweeter made by technics ??. So we pay for KeF. But get technics?..
No no no, we find out this mystery, someone replace stock tweeter with this one 🙂
@@Techscrews owh fortunately..😅😅
No, actually you pay for Kef, but get Peerless
It's not KEF....!
Too small a crossover...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Мегабюджетные кефы??
low end.
@@Techscrews кефы уже не те))
White van specials
This is the cheapest way to built a speaker, all part is really low quality.
$200 a pair.
Mörder !!!! 🤕
CHINA kkkkk
Horor speakers
T
his is why you don't pay thousands of $$ for Manufactured speakers! Looks like complete garbage inside !
Dude, it's low end :)
Made in Taiwan...
Магнит нельзя ударят, он размагничивается
I do not enjoy is the music ....
Автор не разбирай больше колонки!Это не вагонетка а акустика!
where is the problem ? I put all parts back and they sound before teardown. I have teardown $3000 and 2000 speakers without problems, ruclips.net/video/wQiGe0nprHA/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/esI4aPgcZp4/видео.html
Pack that properly or they won't sound the same
thats about 15 bucks worth of crossover parts,,lol what shit they put in speakers.
these speakers sound very sweet, I hope upload a sound test video.
That woofer driver looks so poor....
these speakers are low end Hifi category, but sound more nicer than a lot of pc speakers in this price range :)
Pure junk . Too many fools .
said the guy with his 1500 dollar LG Xboom with 4 different ratings and an actual power draw of 200 Watts which makes minus inefficiencys 120 Watts. 60 per channel.
Drivers are junk! Plastic baskets on the woofers, yikes!, big hollow box, didn’t see any bracing, other than the little corner tabs, not very impressive, think KEF would prefer to forget the Cresta 3, how bad could one and two have been?
maybe they inside look bad, but kef make very good job, because these sound amazing good for so cheap price!
@@notagunfreak8146 I'ts plastic... Not casted alloy.
1 and 2 were just smaller, same quality. These are cheap speakers but anyone who knows about hifi will tell you they beat almost anything else at the price for sound quality.
Шлак! Электоролиты фу фу фу
'High end' KEF speakers: when opened, one doesn't find any interesting or thrilling components in them. Run of the mill design. No thank you, sir.
They cost less than $200, cheapest spakers series from Kef. Take look at different kef series.
@@Techscrews I can make my own speakers (better quality) for less money...
But KEF speakers that cheap, I can imagine one would buy them.
How EMBARRASSING!!!
cheap parts. even the crossover is cheap
there are two crossovers, not so bad.
🤦
Brah !!!
Glad you didn't used a kitchen knife to open them...
👎
Stop the horrible "music" !!!!
This set of speakers look like cheap trash from the 1970's. These were released from 1999-2002?. Kef was really playing a schrewed game. Cheap crossover and speakers. The Tweeters are from Technics which is owned by Panasonic. Japanese products which are actually pretty decent but in the tweeter department, Panasonic aren't really great.
Lol some ppl with woodwork skills can do beter than this pile of bs box. Deiver is super cheap design
And crossover seem like from china made lol
Nice videos man for exposing this pile of crap speakers from dirt team of manufactures
KEF made excellent speakers, but this is from low end, cheap series, but sound more better then they cost. Any manufactures have they cheap crap series :D
ArtūrsM thats true.
LMAO KEF trash... Look at that piece of crap crossover lol
Low quality components
they are low end speakers, but sound better then a lot of nowadays plastic speakers :) #realHiFI
Terrible music..
sorry, maybe you can suggest better copyright free music ?
Very cheap quality crossover
it's budget speakers.
Not even MKP's in the high section........
I would change that.
