Darko on active speakers

[Hifi_swlon]

I’m actually really tempted by the kii 3. But I wouldn’t even demo them unless they sorted out that hideous wired remote control. It’s crying out for the current one being turned into a combo of an ‘input box’ and a beautiful wireless remote. And by beautiful I don’t mean designed after a Wacom tablet circa 1990.
I hear they sound amazing and I’d gladly go active but couldn’t live with that setup and it makes me think if that got to market they’re on a different design aesthetic to me. I don’t particularly like the look of the speakers but bar a few notable exceptions I think most are pretty ugly.

I agree with a few of the Phantom comments. After a pioneering initial design, everything since has been milking that cow with iterations to sell new models and while I’m sure there are improvements - much like the Pros - it’s iterative rather than groundbreaking and they still have underlying problems and limitations that should have been long dealt with by now.

That said I’ve no idea if The kii 3 has regular bug free software updates, but I’d research that first that’s for sure. Roonready would be a big lure too.
