Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers?


I auditioned a pair of Fink Team KIM mini-monitors a few weeks ago and I'm curious if anyone else has heard of them.

@whipsaw -

How sensitive to room placement are the Kims? I can only position the front plane of my speakers about three feet from the front wall at most, do you feel this would present any bass overload issues? One of the reviews cited some "tubbiness" in the bass, this is a concern given my above placement constraints.

Also, I see that you are driving them with a solid state amp. Any experience with moderate power tube designs? And do you find the image to be of sufficient height given their shortish stature?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, @whipsaw.

I sit a little over 10 feet (3M) away from the speakers and the speakers again about 3 feet (front plane) from the front wall. The room is not small, 16.5 feet wide, 31 feet long with 11 foot ceilings, but is laid out in an open floor plan, the first third as the living room thus the furniture induced speaker placement limitation. As aesthetics are important for both my wife and I the use of traditional room treatments are not an option, for better or for worse. I would be interested to hear how you have mitigated the bass bloat issue in your own listening space.

Thanks again for your insights.

@whipsaw - You've obviously put a lot of effort into your equipment and room set up with great attention to detail. I'm sure it has paid off and that your system and the Kims sound fantastic. The Circle Labs amp seems to be getting a lot of positive press so no doubt that contributes to your system's success. 

I was unable to make it to CAF a few months ago where the Kims were being demoed, hopefully in 2023 they will once again be at one of the East Coast shows and I can have a listen.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with them.
