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 absolutely packed with modern technology. What is particularly special about the Kii Three is its phase-correct reproduction without timing errors. You rarely achieve this with a conventional loudspeaker, let alone as precisely as with this Kii Three. The phase behavior is nearly perfect across the entire frequency range. But the most remarkable feature of the Kii Three is its bass radiation. With any conventional loudspeaker, passive or active, bass below 200Hz radiates in all directions around the room. These bass tones reflect off walls, floors, and ceilings, strengthening and weakening 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 solves this problem. With the Kii Three, even the bass down to around 40Hz 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 therefore has 1440 watts of amplifiers on board. This is necessary to make each unit work together with the other units without timing errors and phase shifts. This solution is also needed to control the reproduction below 200Hz. You preferably connect the Kii Three via the Kii Control to your Streamer, such as for example the excellent Antipodes streamers, directly via USB, or your Sonos Connect via S/PDIF, but analog inputs are also 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 through 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 very well too.

Listening: The Kii Three is excellent to place in virtually any room we know. Because the Kii Three barely influences the room in music reproduction, we can achieve optimal results in almost any location. The first thing that stands out is the bass reproduction. It is incredibly deep and beautifully pure, without bloom. The bass starts and stops very quickly and is perceptible throughout the room. The second thing that stands out is the dynamics. You can really play quite loudly with the Kii Three. Hard to believe that this grand sound 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 swallows it all without protest. We know no other compact loudspeaker that performs like this. Voice reproduction is also of very high quality. When you consider the purchase price, which already includes the DA Converters, preamplifier, and 6 power amplifiers, this is an absolutely worthwhile investment. 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 permanently set up for demonstration in our listening rooms.
