    I don't have stands so they're true bookshelf speakers for the class-d summer setup now.

    only an album in, but they image like champs. they're a bit too "hi-fi" for my preferences - midbass into midrange suckout, peaky bass around 40hz and 100hz. https://i.imgur.com/vv4L2Eq.jpg

    might throw loki in to try to clean things up a little.

    Those are rear ported and have tremendous bass bloat when close to walls. They really do need to be on stands. Or you can use the foam port plugs - this greatly increases the mid-bass and reduces the bass bloat.

    No boxes/accessories, but I'll try stuffing socks into the ports!

    I'll add, too, that I'm not trying to humblebrag at all about getting free shit - I'm on the fence about keeping these, so I may put them up as a local friends-only "free to a good home" post in FS. Or, a local limited loan (DC/MD/VA)? Who would want to hear them? They're pretty beat up, cosmetically.

    PS - Is that a Canon AE-1? And wait, is that a Leica?

    And be careful with blocking the port...those KEF's don't like big excursion.

    The cameras were my grandfather's. after my grandmother passed, we were clearing out her house and possessions, and no one else wanted an old box of broken cameras.

    I've never looked closely at them. So, now that I have, yes, it's a Canon AE-1, and an Argus-A.
