Kii Three + Kii Control + Stands, Satin Graphite Metallic, Including OVP, Used : Sold

EN.

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

Technology: The Kii Three is the masterpiece of Belgian designer Bruno Putzeys. It is a compact speaker packed with cutting-edge technology. The Kii Three is particularly special due to its phase-correct reproduction, without timing errors. This is rarely achieved with conventional speakers, and certainly not as precisely as with the Kii Three. The phase response is nearly perfect across the entire frequency range. But the most remarkable feature of the Kii Three is its bass radiation. With any conventional speaker, passive or active, the bass below approximately 200Hz radiates 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 it disappears entirely. The Kii Three completely solves this problem. In the Kii Three, even the bass down to about 40Hz radiates forward. However, this is not a simple solution. The Kii Three is a 3-way speaker equipped with very powerful DSP, 6 separate DA Converters, one for each speaker unit, and 6 analog Ncore power amplifiers of 240 watts each. Each Kii Three therefore has 1440 watts of amplification 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 required to direct the reproduction below 200Hz. You connect the Kii Three preferably via the Kii Control to your Streamer, such as the excellent Antipodes streamers, directly via USB, or your Sonos Connect via S/PDIF, but there are also analog inputs available. You can then connect the Kii Three to your analog preamp. Via the Controller, the digital signal travels 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 is easily placed in virtually any room we know. Because the Kii Three hardly influences the room during music playback, we can achieve optimal results almost anywhere. The first thing that stands out is the bass reproduction. It is very deep and pure, without overhang. The bass starts and stops very quickly and is perceivable throughout the room. The second thing that stands out is the dynamics. You can play the Kii Three really quite loud. It's hard to believe that this magnificent sound image comes from this compact speaker. 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 play Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock, or whatever hard Metal or Dubstep - the Kii Three handles it all without protest. We know of no other compact speaker that performs this well. The vocal reproduction is also of very high quality. When you consider the purchase price, where the DA Converters, preamp, and 6 power amplifiers are already built in, this is an absolutely good value. Many high-end speaker systems struggle with so many musical qualities. This Kii Three set is completely complete and in good condition with minor signs of use. The included stands are filled with sand which makes them heavier and more resonance-free.
