all
Eike handed out these tickets with demo
times for LX521.4 and LXmini |
Look what can be done with them. |

 |
| I looked forward to
the Kii Three
loudspeaker's US Premiere, because of its cardioid acoustic design and
electronic features. I have claimed that omni, cardioid and dipole
radiators are optimal for acoustically small rooms. Omnis are maximally
interactive with the room and least desirable of the three. Cardioid and
dipole set up a 4.8 dB lower reverberant sound field for the same on-axis
SPL.
But the spatial rendering and the tonal
balance in the demo here were not as I hear them in a live performance,
though clarity was outstanding. The musical magic of an LX521 or LXmini
was missing. I still believe that it should be obtainable because of the
Three's radiation pattern. I hope to get another chance to hear this
otherwise very promising speaker and to settle in my mind its auditory
benefits or disadvantages over a dipole.
