Look nice, but it's all hot air without independent measurements.

At the moment KAD audio is in direct contact with Klippel R&D in Dresden to make some measurements.
They are investigating the possibility to make a 3D scan and then interpolate the measurements to the stereo soundstage that is created by a pair.

That will be interesting I guess.

Just checked their website: only marketing BS and not a single measurement avaliable (at least I didn't find anything) . Not much for a small company, which still seems to offer just one single product and which claims their technical solutions...

I agree that no measurements are offered, I only had a few sparse contacts lately with the owner but we didn't discuss the measurements or the status.

Yes, the owner choose to focus on one product.
1,5 years back he was working on a smaller version but decided tot focus on the top model the K7.
There is now an "upgraded" version of the K7 with a Berylium tweeter from SEAS and I believe also the mid speakers are upgraded. I was invited by the owner to check out this version at the audio show in Munich but I wasn't able to visit.

KADaudio is essentially a one man business so very small.

A few decades ago I bought an amplifier (Fidelity Zirkon) of a small two men company. The company was closed all of a sudden and I ended up with a broken and not serviceable (at least not for reasonable costs) amp due to the fact, that most of the labeling of the electric components was removed. I learned my lesson....

I completely agree, that it is a risk to buy such a complicated product from a small manufacturer.
