I too built a pair of KEFs [concertos] about thirty years ago and I
still use them. The kits contained the front panel with drive units
and crossover ready mounted and wired and you built the box to a
specification. There was a range of sizes you could build with the
larger one giving a slightly better bass reponse. In those days you
could avoid purchase tax by building the cabinet yourself. They cost
£30 I remember :-)
£30 in 1975? That would have been cheap even for one kit,
never mind a pair.
He's referring to the Kefkit 3, which according to my 1974 Hi-Fi
Yearbook, cost £36 each, plus VAT - which was not avoidable.
