New Kii Seven

[Strictly Stereo]

Does anyone know more about the amplifiers used in the Seven? All I have found so far is a reference to "600 watts amplification".

Some have said Purifi on forums but not seen official confirmation yet.

It would make sense if they are the best amps on the market

In the case of the 3 they are modules customized to allow both voltage and current drive. Apparently from Purifi. I would be surprised if it was different here.

Don't remember where I saw it, but Kii confirmed all production of new units is with Purifi modules. Used to be a custom NCore like design.

Shipping starts early next year some time (no word on month yet)

I wonder how just a pair of side-firing woofer can do cardioid.
Unless the 5-in midrange is actually a mid-woofer.

I heard a pair of Kii Sevens on demonstration at the Ascot Hifi show over the weekend. Initial listening impressions were excellent, but then again so were the LS60s in KEF's room.

Not sure about that rug, good as surrounds perhaps (not the rug).

I hope to see it perform on a Klippel NFS soon. The speakers, not the rug

How much thousands you pay for 2?

2/3rds of what you pay for 3?

Typo for Steven?

I'd love to hear these.

I'd also love them as an option for an immersive setup with a center channel and mounting hardware, but it seems like as much as these could be used for very accurate studio work, they aren't suitable for building an atmos setup.

I’n going to hear them at the dutch audio event this weekend. Will report back, for what it’s worth. Highly subjective and in unfamiliar demo rooms with other people who sometimes just can’t shut up.

Other than the mounting, it sounds like these are perfect for Atmos, excluding the price needed for so many boxes...

Kii specifically touts them as made for ATMOS. Both for home and for studio.
I don't know exactly how it is supposed to work, but I'm sure we will find out.

Lots of Standmounts reach this low with single woofer... This is really bad.

Do you understand what the other woofers are doing?
