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.
