Got the Kinki EX-M1 in my system yesterday. Friggin fed ex smashed the crap out of it. Filed a claim, we’ll see what happens. Unit is working properly, I believe. Ran hot today but its hot here and Im pushing my speakers pretty hard for 4 hours now...
both knobs on the front are loose / smashed inwards. I can’t believe how fed dx treats our equipment. Ludicrous.
Sounds pretty special though. The imaging, separation within the soundstage, image depth and width, black background, zero distortion, detail, pretty amazing. The bass is stupid, the mids and voices just float eerily in space, and the highs are there but not offensive.
The Raven on TMR is the one I had. I bought it from them. Great sounding amp but with the sub out issue and cosmetic issues, I didn’t want that to be my most expensive purchase ever, so I opted to buy a pristine Kinki and then have Fed Ex drag it behind the truck for 1500 miles
