My KEF C30 has arrived but....

[Mr Peabody]

It's a shame it's damaged. Best thing would be to contact Kef for an exact replacement and also ask if the replacement is identical or if you should replace both woofers at the same time.

I couldn't find any woofers specifically for C30 yet I found there are some places online that they sell woofers for KEF C40 speakers. I checked out the KEF C series leaflet and found that C30 and C40 speakers both use the same B200 drive units with the same impedence of 8ohms yet their sensitivity is slightly different, with one being 90db and the other being 91db.

Would the C40 woofer fit my C30 speakers?

Many thanks
Chris

Both are 200mm, same series and brand, so I would think so. If you are going to use the C40 driver I'd definitely replace both so your speakers will have uniform sound. Also, keep in mind the new drivers will require some break in time to sound the way they should.

So, if I am fortunate enough to find a C30 woofer later on, do you think I will have to get it in a pair so the speakers will have a uniform sound?

[Mr Peabody]

I don't know that much about Kef to say how long that model lasted or if any revisions. If you found a C30 woofer it certainly wouldn't be as critical to buy two as if you bought a C40.
