Has anyone heard it? More expensive than the Phantom but built from the ground up with DSP. Really intriguing.

Wonder who's exhibiting them at RMAF? Reason I ask is I have to run over there with the D200 in 2 hours. I checked the exhibitor list for "Kii" but can't find them listed. I'm interested too and since I'll have the D200 with me and it being the last day of the show I'm wondering if they'd be interested in hooking them up to my unit? S'worth a shot if I could just find who's exhibiting them or the room they're in.

They have DAC/amps inbuilt. Presumably a separate DAC can be used (and was, as mentioned a couple of posts ago of course) but would be a little pointless bypassing the amps (if even possible).

Grrr... figures! Oh well, "the best laid plans... " Guess I just became uninterested. Thanks Rufus!

Guillaume and I heard them at Munich - not at the main MOC show but, by invitation, at a separate recording studio.
Very small room so we were no more than 2m from the speakers. Quite impressive though clearly set up in a room and with material to impress.
Domestically quite appealing in the same way as the Phantom (which are at a much lower price) and, at a much higher price, the Grimm.

Ian,
Any sense of how the three compare?

Anyone else who could share his experience with Kii?
