What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
@nutella , "Only one for me. Kii Three with the BXT. I am unaware of another choice in this particluar category option. Anything else would be simply exploring a different flavor. I had a ten year span where I was out of the hobby and not paying any attention to developments in the industry. I was disappointed to find out that most improvement was quite small and the same arguments go on and on. This product I feel is an actual step forward, not the little side steps and baby steps everyone seems to exaggerate as jaw dropping improvements. The hyperbole in this hobby is astonishing to say the least." Yes, you could say that. Especially when some of the most highly regarded designs are over 50+ years old (Quad 57s, LS3/5, Tannoy Golds, various JBLs, Altecs etc etc). No real new technology, just endless refinements and a trend to downsize. As a certain Scotsman used to proclaim, "Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim". However in the case of the Kii Three, it's interesting that even the usually restrained and sober Sound on Sound posts a glowing review. Something more than an incremental improvement? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.soundonsound.com/reviews/kii-audio-three%3famp |
@tlinkie, same here. I agree that diminishing returns do set in fairly quick around the £1000/$1000 mark but on the other hand I can't think of any great full bandwidth designs selling near the 1k mark. Whilst I'm happy enough to stream through a decent Bluetooth speaker, (oh the sheer convenience of it!), I feel that if a loudspeaker claims to be of monitor quality then it really must have a fairly flat extension down to at least 45Hz. Or a matching sub. Maybe Steve Guttenberg can help in a future upload. https://youtu.be/H1waVEH16pU |
