Not all active speakers contain op amps. Defenitely not referencing the Kiis with that statement.
Digital domain active xover is even worse than analog active xovers to my ears for sterility.
And yes I have heard the Kii’s setup by the trained importer/distributer (same guy that setup Darko’s video) because I believe that video was done at Darko’s flat in Balmain Australia before he left for UK or somewhere over there. .
I was not impressed with the lack of musicality, (very etched sound), like the harmonic structure 2nd 3rd 4th etc to the fundamental was stripped away, I lasted a couple of albums with them. And I heard them in a much better room than Darko’s.
Stereophile: Kii review
What happened to the warmth? Isn't it a bit bright? Is there a midrange suckout? Are the rear-mounted drivers spraying sound out the back to be washed back at me
These are the similar things I kept saying to myself. This reviewer eventually got used to them, I couldn't.
Also you don’t get to use your prize dac you have to listen to whatever they give you inside that speaker box.
