General: Fully active and DSP-corrected standmount loudspeaker. Small in size, enormous in sound.

Technology: The Kii Three is the masterpiece of Belgian designer Bruno Putzeys. It is a compact loudspeaker that is truly packed with modern technology. What is very special about the Kii Three is its phase-correct reproduction, without timing errors. You rarely achieve this with a conventional loudspeaker, and certainly not as precisely as with this Kii Three. The phase behavior is nearly perfect across the entire frequency range. But the most remarkable aspect of the Kii Three is still its bass radiation. With every conventional loudspeaker, passive or active, the bass, roughly below 200Hz, radiates all around the room. These bass tones reflect off walls, floors, and ceilings, and enhance or weaken the bass, depending on where you stand. In one spot the bass is too heavy, a meter away the bass is completely gone. The Kii Three completely eliminates this problem. With the Kii Three, the bass down to about 40Hz also radiates forward. However, this is not a simple solution. The Kii Three is a 3-way loudspeaker equipped with a very powerful DSP, 6 separate DA Converters, one for each loudspeaker unit, and 6 analog Ncore power amplifiers of 240 watts each. Each Kii Three thus has 1440 watts of amplifiers on board. This is necessary to make every unit work together with the other units, without timing errors and phase shifts. This solution is also necessary to control the reproduction below 200Hz. You preferably connect the Kii Three via the Kii Control to your Streamer, such as the excellent Antipodes streamers, directly via USB, or your Sonos Connect via SPDIF, but there are also analog inputs available. You can then connect the Kii Three to your analog preamplifier. Via the Controller, the digital signal runs over a UTP cable to one speaker and then via a UTP cable to the other speaker. Connect the power cable and start playing. The design of the Kii Three is unique and very special, and you can hear that clearly.

Listening: The Kii Three can be positioned excellently in virtually every room we know. Because the Kii Three barely involves the room in the music reproduction, we can achieve optimal results in almost any location. The first thing that stands out is the bass reproduction. It is extremely deep and beautifully pure, and without overhang. The bass starts and stops very quickly and is perceptible everywhere in the room. The second thing that stands out is the dynamics. You can really play quite loud with the Kii Three. It is hard to believe that this magnificent soundstage comes from this compact loudspeaker. Taps on a drum kit sound lifelike in your living room. The third thing that stands out is the purity of the system. The Kii Three sounds very clean, without sounding glassy. It doesn't matter whether you're playing Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock, or for that matter heavy Metal or Dubstep, the Kii Three takes it all without protest. We know of no other compact loudspeaker that performs like this. The reproduction of voices is also of very high quality. When you consider the purchase price, which already includes the DA Converters, preamplifier, and 6 power amplifiers built in, this is an absolutely good value purchase. Many High End loudspeaker systems struggle with so many musical qualities. Ohm-Audio bv is a full-time dealer of the Kii Three and it is therefore permanently set up for demonstration in our listening rooms.
