Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can

It seems few to one Agoner owns this speaker?

Is King Sound poor at customer service? Any reason to think so? I see lots of Soundlab speakers back and forth to the builder? Seems to be a lot of post purchase work being done on Soundlab's and that concerns me greatly.

I want to buy a speaker that will run for 10 years or longer without needing a new panel etc.....

Thanks much and I will check into those speakers from roger

Most interesting indeed

Tony,

I see nothing on Roger's site about these speakers? I can call him, but all I see is the price - $10,500.

Tell me more about your impressions of this speaker? I also loved the Soundlab sound but the price is very high for a new set.

Thanks again.

I am going to listen to the King this Sunday night in Denver. I will post my impressions!

Well I listened to these speakers at a fellow Agon members home and was very impressed. They are very special speakers and easily the best speaker I have heard to date.

For a modest cost of $8500 they are a true find. Great bass, fast and powerful bass, deep bass and well - great bass.

World class stage size, imaging, transparancy, stage depth and involving live sound. They sound like music and instruments - not a stereo!

Yes they play as loud as you can take if you want that! They can rock or sound so beautiful on voice and instrument.

I had a great time listening to them.

Kiwi's comments are welcome here and I am wanting to hear all experiences with this speaker. I can't tell Kiwi his experience is not accurate or "right". That is his experience.

I can say mine was different. They did sound very good and that was a plan fact for me and all in the room. It seems Kiwi's set of speakers had damage issues and I think that had great impact on the review.

I would like to hear from the manufacturer or importer of this line on these quality issues Kiwi brings up. I know they sound wonderful as I have heard them first hand. What I don't know is this;

-What is this King II - Does it exsist and is it a "fixed" version of the regular King?

- Does the regular King I have quality issues today or not? Kiwi suggests the King is still a work in process and much learning is talking place. He is more or less saying the King I is not a fully completed trouble free product, but rather a means to one - King II.

We need to hear from the company if the King I is ready for discontinuation due to quality issues and latest learnings or if it is a viable purchase today as is.

Thanks for the info Doug. I see they have been making the King I for at least two years then.

Any other owners of this speaker? Love to hear more comments from owners.

I have dectded to go with some Soundlab M3 PX.

They are coming from Soundlab with a complete check up.

Will wait on the King until they have more history in the USA. Just not enough current owners and history for me to dive in.
