KT 170


I haven't tried the KT 150's yet, now this-

" With the success of the KT120 and KT150 they dialed things up yet again with the KT170 which has a plate dissipation of a whopping 85 watts! A pair of these badboys can put out 300 watts." That's a lot of juice!


Price isn't too shocking, comparing it to the KT 150.

PL owners, Buy them and report back.

I have less than five hours on a quad of them. I’m thrilled. It’s like having a new system. More lower mids, bass, live music feel. Was using KT-88’s. Speakers are not efficient ones. Got an email from my Amp maker saying he’s now offing them, so no worries in trying. 

Cuss words of joy. To me the lower volumes is where the fuller sound comes out. Loud is loud. By by KT 88’s I have a new love. My wife gave me a perfunctory agreement but that’s suspect. But she stayed for a while asking to hear some of her favourites. 
Full stop... Have to send back AMP (Roders KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier) to get some changes made inside to use KT170's so as not to damage amp. Went back to 88’s and will dig out shipping box ASAP.
