FinkTeam KIM - thoughts?

As you probably have heard, Colin King of Gestalt Audio in Nashville is highly regarded. Perhaps he would agree to ship on the basis that you could return them within a week if you aren't completely happy.

They appear occasionally on the used market here in the EU, but probably rarely in the U.S.

Please keep us posted if you do end up with a pair, as I'd enjoy hearing your reaction. I've owned many good speakers over the decades, and these, along with the (very different) Magnepan Tympanis have been my favorites.

@whipsaw I don't see any indication that Gestalt reps these speakers. An interesting minimalist site.

I will definitely report back should I go down this path.

Sorry, I must have transposed Fink Team with Wolf von Langa, which Gestalt has carried.

@zlone - Echo Audio in Portland had a pair a couple of years ago. I’d read about them and was curious, so drove over to give them a listen. For what it’s worth, I was pretty underwhelmed by them. I remember walking away wondering what their most compelling quality was… nothing came to mind. I think they were being driven by an older Audio Research preamp and Balanced Audio Tech (BAT) amp. 

@bluethinker Thanks for the comments. I will find out in a couple weeks as I ran across a used pair. I am admittedly shooting in the dark here, and was not planning on another change right away, but so be it. If this does not work out I will have make dedicated trip to an audio hotbed city and find something that speaks to me. 

I have been very happy with the Studio Electric M4 that I have been comparing with the QLN. They have really opened my eyes/ears to a sound that appeals to me. I have high hopes that the KIM will take this up another notch. I will be sure to post my thoughts once the new speakers have settled in to the system and my ears.
