Interesting 40 year old design using a modified KEF Concerto kit(B139, B110, T27) in a variovent type enclosure(stuffed port like the Dynaco A25) giving better damping than the KEF bass reflex box. The difference between the R and RII was a modified crossover with lower crossover point(200 Hz) which KEF designed for Bud. The RII was much improved over the R.
The R was the design used by IMF as an excuse to get rid of Bud calling it a cheap design that would smear the IMF name. But in reality Bud made it so he's have a product to sell, knowing British IMF was looking to oust him.
