Will these actually compete with high end standmounts? You can get Raidho speakers. But these are very different from Kii. And it'd be probably difficult to compare the two as Kii is a closed system.

I really am amazed at how good they sound, with every type of music..... It's cool that you like 'em! What's the distance between you and both speakers? Our PowerStation is here: click me!

I can get full range reproduction (20-20k), lots of dynamics, and still not overload the room. Difficult to do with a conventional system in a room like this. It depends on a system, but yes, what you did seems reasonable and the solution itself - Kii - is said to be of great quality. Our PowerStation is here: click me!

AMR/iFi audio Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 19 hours ago, Kelly said: After 5 months of flawless operation, my Kii Control has stopped responding to my Apple remote. I have changed the battery and no help. I tried to imprint the remote again and the control is acting strange. If I try to scroll thru which type of remote it does not alternates between RC5 and none selected, then maybe 1 time in 10 it will show Apple. If I attempt to manually select this it just goes back to "none selected." Has anyone had any sort of erratic behavior like this? I reset the Control to Factory settings with no change. I am hoping I don't have to send it in, but I will contact my dealer tomorrow morning. I should add I have tried two different Apple remotes to no avail. We'd write to Kii directly as well. It's highly likely that any tech issues are sent to them anyway and a distributor can make communication a bit longer. We might be wrong, yet this is what we'd do in your place. Good luck!

So they offered me a slightly used pair they had on hand for testing, and knew to perform at spec. No charge to me, and I was fine with this. They paid for shipment back and I received the "new" speakers today. They actually look like new and sound fine. So I'm happy. They handled it nicely, you're happy. Good stuff.

My Kii Control stopped working so after a call to my US dealer and then to Kii in Germany they did a TeamView to remotely confirm my remote was faulty, which is was, and promptly shipped me a new one. Products this pricey should be supported like so. It's also cool that they worked on the issue remotely. Our PowerStation is here: click me! Check out our Tidal MQA Set-up Guides below.

That's the third time someone mentioned these particular speakers in farly short time and was very impressed. It's time to see whether these will be shocased in Munich (they were some two or three years ago with Reimyo in one of atrium rooms, weren't they?) and have a listen.

They had them setup in such a way that you could turn the extensions on or off during playback which provided a good opportunity to hear titles with or without them. My impression was very positive and they certainly warrant a dedicated session in a more suitable environment to further explore their full potential. Attached is a pic of rig used to toggle between with / without the Bxt. Was a good show! I enjoyed Kii this time more than one year ago. Our PowerStation is here: click me!
