    Most aesthetically pleasing amplifiers

    I have this one But I wanted this (so I could imagine I lived in a cold war submarine or something)

    Amplifier for arbitrary speakers?

    Fair enough. I had Boenicke before this and have kept them for a similar reason. If you want floorstanders though the Kii&BXT will give you that and look (IMO) space-age good, as well as tremendously clean and powerful bass.

    Amplifier for arbitrary speakers?

    If you're considering spending $40k on speakers alone then looking for an amp, I would second the shout for listening to demoing some Kii/Genelec/Neumann/Dutch and Dutch etc before you do that. I've had a pair Kii3s for 2 years now (just vanilla Kii3s no BXT) which I used for stereo and as front...

    Does that make the new BXT price c£6k? And does that include white?

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    In UK but, tbh, even if I lived next door to our illustrious host not sure I could part with them for a day! Seriously, like you, I’d be really interested to see what he makes of them.

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    I had a pair on demo. The only reasons I didn’t buy them was I auditioned them alongside some Kii 3s and the imaging and soundstage on the latter was significantly sharper/better. In most other respects they seemed pretty close.

    Kii Three Measurements

    I am using them in a living space but against the long wall so they are only about 2.5m from the listening position. But even when experimenting other setups they were little different. The only flaw I can imagine they have is with pure bass impact, lacking large woofers. However, all this is...

    Kii Three Measurements

    Look, I'm obviously going to try and justify my purchase now but - that said - I'm rather incredulous that the Klipschs could be anywhere even close to the Kiis. I really didn't want to buy them - they were far more expensive than I ever thought I'd stretch to (even though I got them ex dem with...

    Kii Three Measurements

    Is there no one in the US who can send some in to Amir? I have a pair of Kiis which I seem to me to be perfection but I'm in the UK. I would also be interested to see how they measure vs the Dutch 8Cs which I (and no doubt many others who looking for this sort of thing) considered but were...

    Dutch & Dutch 8Cs

    I haven’t compared the 8cs to the Type 20s, though I was interested in both. I did however directly compare a pair of Kii 3s to a pair of Neumann KH310s and whilst I was v impressed with the 310s there was no contest (in my room) in terms of quality of the bass and imaging/precision/clarity in...
