New Kii Seven

[songOVERsound]

Is the 6C confirmed?
When will it be released?

I don’t think it’s “officially” confirmed, but with Atmos being relevant… you’d think it’s the highest priority.

I don’t know when they will be released, but I’d rather wait till it’s perfected if that is what is taking so long

The South Korean review outlet 0dB just posted a review with detailed Klippel NFS measurements of the Seven:

Results are excellent as expected, though with a less pronounced cardioid response than the Three due to the lack or rear woofers.

Nice!

Sub bass is a little lacking. When Bruno himself played a demo with “Chunky” from Bruno Mars, the bass sounded tight, thumping and impressive. When I played that track at home I discovered the sub bass in this track, which was missing in the demo.

Nevertheless very impressive speakers!

Wish they were 5.000 euro a pair.

I heard them briefly and the measurements correlate with what I heard, that is: impressive low end for the size, neutral in the midrange but tilted towards the HF. I liked what I heard, nothing wrong with them other than the price

Interesting video above.

Seems like the standard Kii tuning effectively has a +2dB high shelf. This would correspond to the slight extra clarity I sensed when I demoed the Kii Threes.
Also makes sense that the smaller model can do full range bass at lower volume (76dB), but starts to roll it off as the level increases.

Looks like they can do full range sub bass, but only when playing at lower levels. The bass gets reduced when playing louder to protect the speaker.

Has anyone found Kii's recommended max/minimum listening distance for the Sevens? I don't see it in the manual, and Kii isn't particularly responsive

@pierre The video contains Klippel spinorama measurements.

@SDC @Nuyes Do you have any contact with the 0dibi reviewer? If yes, could you please ask them to forward Klippel measurements to @pierre so that he can host them on spinorama.org?

 

[SDC]

Sadly, I have no connection to him but maybe @Jason K .

The bass gets reduced when playing louder to protect the speaker.

To implement such frequency-selective limiter, is pretty common with portable speakers, particularly compact ones, 2-way concepts or those with restricted power from the amp.

I wonder what is the reason why this happens relatively early here. A pair of 6.5" subwoofers and 600 Watt RMS of total amplification per loudspeaker might raise expectations the aforementioned effects would not be as significant @96dB.

Finally, some measurements. This cardioid effect is too weak to justify, still.

That's is the question I was also wondering, since they are 10,000 a pair as of recently. I currently have the Neumann 120 ll . Would there be a big difference? I am no speaker engineer to distinguish the potential benefits of the newer tech SOTA vs classic traditional designs.

I’m in a similar situation. I don’t want to get Kii three’s or DD 8C’s because I feel like we are due for an updated, better performing new model that comes out. Of course I’ve been thinking this for a few years now and there hasn’t been much to compare

Nice timing

It's obvious to yours truly that a pair of Kii Sevens would require subwoofer support in high SPL situations, just like pretty much any speaker with a relatively small woofer requiring a major low-end EQ boost to maintain FR flatness down there. IMO a sub is the sensible way to avoid tripping the woofer-protecting limiter.

The Kii's have been updated to Purifi electonics since the original models came out (NCore). Slightly better specs.

Have you found updated measurements anywhere? The upgrade price is $1800, plus shipping to/from Germany. But I have yet to see exactly what's improved upon

It's probably not worth an after-the-fact upgrade at anywhere near that price. With all due respect to the technical superiority of Purifi's modules vs. their Hypex counterparts, it seems to me the there would be very little or no audible difference after such a module swap. Now, if Kii also adopted Purifi drivers, IMO that would probably be worthwhile -- although it might make sense to trade up rather than upgrade, especially given the size and weight involved and the resulting round-trip shipping expense, especially for non-European users.

Kii sevens amp is updated?

 

[firedog]

Kii sevens amp is updated?

Sevens have always had Purifi, as has the BXT. Kii switched to Purifi a few years ago. Everything is Purifi. I know this because I had one Three repaired and they said it could only be repaired with the new Purifi amps, the older NCore wasn't made anymore. They also recommended making both speakers identical, and I agreed. Both are updated to Purifi now.
