Have you checked the cost of the BXT unit for the Kii lmao.Have you checked the cost of matching Perlisten subwoofers?

I thought the S4b had the best midrange you ever heard?FWIW, at $12k, I’d take the DD8c for stereo listening over the Perlisten + Amp + Sub. That’s based on what I’ve heard.

I was not trying to argue, your high opinion of S4b is one of the reasons why i think it’s the superior one of the three. So i’m genuinely shocked and curious to why you would pick the D&D out of the three. Is it the ease of mind?As a package, the DD8c is a better speaker and I'd get it. Whether or not you'd agree is your call. It's your hypothetical money. You spend it how you want.
I'd wager way reduced SBIR and near wall reflections from Erin's written impressions. The whole "no need for subwoofers, amplifiers nor external DSP" thing may also be a factor.I was not trying to argue, your high opinion of S4b is one of the reasons why i think it’s the superior one of the three.

I'm going to go with the compromise that forces a person to buy a subwoofer.What compromise would a S4b has for someone rich as long as it’s crossed with a subwoofer at 80Hz? It’s a flawless bookshelf speaker.
Yes but why would you buy it? The Kii doesn't compromise on bass response.Have you checked the cost of the BXT unit for the Kii lmao.
Plus, as someone who's had an extensive D&D audition and had a 24 channel PRIR made of them, I can tell you they make very few, if any, compromises, especially in a normal sized listening roomI'd wager way reduced SBIR and near wall reflections from Erin's written impressions. The whole "no need for subwoofers, amplifiers nor external DSP" thing may also be a factor.
Is this a joke?Yes but why would you buy it? The Kii doesn't compromise on bass response.
SPL at low frequencies is all about Volume displacement, cone area (Sd) x excursion (x-max) in the same units. When small woofers are equalised to produce a lower F3 maximum SPL Suffers. The solution to that is the BXT or other subwoofers. With the BXT having side woofers the range of cardioid response can be continued at a higher SPL.Yes but why would you buy it? The Kii doesn't compromise on bass response.
Only if you consider your ability to compare specs to be funny. Personally I don't. The fact you think an f3 of 28Hz is comparable and thus equally in need of a subwoofer compared to a speaker with an f3 of 78Hz is actually quite sad. I sincerely hope you're just trolling at this point.Is this a joke?
I know full well the limitations. I'm asking abdo123 why on earth he is thinking he's sane comparing a speaker which can't even play midbass properly to a speaker which for most scenarios has zero practical need for a subwoofer. Yes there's always the ability to do more. But some need it, while for others it's there as an optional extra.SPL at low frequencies is all about Volume displacement, cone area (Sd) x excursion (x-max) in the same units.

I think this statement is a relative one. Looking at it from a narrow perspective (small speaker with limited potential for bass output), Kii doesn't compromise much on bass response. In a broader perspective the fact that the speaker is small is a huge compromise.Yes but why would you buy it? The Kii doesn't compromise on bass response.
We A-B tested alot by switching on and off BXT during lower levels as well on different material. At normal listening levels it's just a little bit softer without BXT in the midbass/upper bass area.I have also made that comparison unless the room is extremely large and you have to sit a long way away from the speakers ( 5metres plus) and you are playing extremely loudly 95dB then the BXTs aren’t necessary imho of course.

Now that I auditioned this speaker I question the reviews gushing about its engineering.Is not the distortion data a bit dissapointing?
I will tone down my statements as strong language is questionable too.You are literally the only person I have seen or know of to say that. Questioning my and others’ integrity seems like hyperbole. You had a bad experience. Doesn’t mean I lied or others did about their experience. The data sure isn’t lying. The most logical reason is something was wrong with your demo.
