Mitchco's excellent reviews of the Kii Three and Dutch&Dutch 8c.

[Blumlein 88]

Mitchco who is a member here does excellent articles and reviews over at CA (computer audiophile).
I think considering the innovation seen in the Kii Three and Dutch&Dutch 8c his reviews of these two excellent speakers is well worth reading. I know we have other threads on these. Hopefully it will be worthwhile to have one about the reviews of both as Mitchco does measurements too.

The Kii Three was reviewed first.

They are really comprehensive and thoughtful, if only every review were like them.

WoW!

Need to audition them.

Agreed, this is the sort of review that is worth so much more than the typical drivel in the magazines, he investigates and explores the speakers, and by putting measurements in the reviews you can see what he is talking about.

I suppose this is contrarian, but What Hi-Fi had reservations about the Kii's.

YMMV?

I don’t supppsoe they have heard a loudspeaker without the usual, ‘thrum’ of colouration.

It's just their opinion, and it's different from most others.

I thought the review was well done. The review is very positive. Their only knock was some magic, and microdynamic expressiveness missing. Both read like missing coloration to me. There are a number of fine details you hear that are sometimes part of a small coloration that work with some music. When the coloration is gone you notice and think some pieces of music lesser for it.

@Blumlein 88 I agree the review was well done, but my read is more negative. The range of gear available locally is limited. For the most part what we have is Magnolia. There is a Wilson dealer, but I have other priorities. In other words, I will not get a chance to hear much of this stuff unless it comes from B&W or Martin Logan.
