Do we need giant expensive speakers, giant expensive amps, expensive speaker cables, room treatments, sub woofers and expensive DACs? Maybe not! Maybe all you need is this:please check out: http://kiiaudio.com/en/
And also read the review just published: http://kiiaudio.com/en/component/phocadownload/category/1-revies.html?download=2:audio-review-test-09-2015-englishThe review said this speaker was the best they had ever heard in 30 years of testing. $10,000 Euros for the pair......6 ncore amps in each speaker plus ADC/DAC/processors....zowzer wowzer! This is less money than the Merlin latest greatest speaker and you get DACs, amps, no need for speaker cables and room treatment....What? What you say? Could it be true? 19 cycle bass from a 33 lb. speaker? What?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They will have larger floor standing models for sure that will play 120db with even more powerful bass....but this "baby speaker" would satisfy 80% of us. Bruno strikes again! If this review is true then a shakeup of the whole industry has just started.
