Super Modern clever tech here...Have you heard them? any thoughts?
I had the bxt and kii3 here for Christmas.. and about a month ago I pulled the trigger. I love how the image, tightness just comes together. Never had my room that tight before. I'm sure you have the pro menu option in the control right? It was beta for a while but it's worth updating to do the last things to taste. I see these speakers as having a marvel super power.
Hey streaky can we see a before and after from your mastering service ? that'd be nice ! i'm considering your service
Fleur De Lys there’s some on streaky.com 👍
@@Streaky_com Sounds really nice. nothing overdone. nice ! thanks.
I work as a mixing/mastering engineer, getting them in about 4 weeks! Can't wait
I am completely in love with their aesthetic, I can only imagine how gorgeous they actually feel/sound in person 😍
How does the monitor control work with your mastering workflow? I assume it can't switch between input sources, level match or do phase/mono etc?
God damn that looks killer! Can’t wait to see how the new masters are gonna sound now
Nice! Keep us updated with a future mid-term and long-term reviews. Thanks!
The BXT plays down to -3 dB @20 Hz ... (without BXT -6 dB @20 Hz) with the BXT the midrange woofer has more headroom, playing 700 to 2K (250 to 2k before)...
In my room with the bxt the measurement is flat from 10hz? Where did you get your info from?
@@Catandbeats 0 dB @ 10 Hz ..thats breathtaking ! The Numbers are from various Kii tests.

@@Catandbeats the kii 3s are the end of speakers, they are IT
@@Catandbeats Lol at 70db
Kii is just great, they are fantastic. You will love them even without the BXT. But if you can afford it, the BXT is much more than a sub - it's the icing on the cake.
Damn, where did this guy find 3 million pennies to buy these speakers!?
The cheshire grin in the thumbnail said it all
Funny when he says "i put my pennies togther"... :'D
I also have the BXT extension and can underline every word of Sneaky. Tight - that’s the bass. I missed this mastering EDM only with the KIIs. With the BXT it works. Even my room is not top notch acoustically optimized the BXT/KII works more then well.
HI! Did you change stock power cables to something better?
Would you say they sound better than the Pmc Xbd’s u used to use at metropolis?
Much
Sad that *....listened to a lot of speakers* - didn't compare to the market most popular ones such as Focal, Barefoot, PMC, ATC...
Streaky we love you, what you do is very informative and entertaining.. But really, We are a all bunch of rookies.. probably most of us still living in their bedroom studio with crappy speakers.. Reviewing 30 grand speaker set up is quite enthusiastic isn’t it.. 😁 We are glad that your business is ticking and you’re upgrading your monitors.. I’m still on my little bluetooth speaker to mix 🙈
Heard them. Tried not to love them. Want them. Can`t afford them.
I love them on the paper, but: I can't help thinking that they could have put a better tweeter. SEAS Prestige line is not really hight end. The same manufacture offer really hight end tweeter. That would have been a master peace speaker.
Just bc they offer higher priced options might not mean they’re actually optimal for a studio monitor. I’m sure they did plenty of research and you’ll have to consider that they likely work against any of their driver’s shortcomings using very sophisticated DSP processing.
Also, if you look at the other drivers, all made by Tymphany, they’re not the most prestigious models either but it’s all about the integration, voicing, cabinetry, and processing.
@@bolttracks you're probably right. I hope they didn't pick this one for cost consideration.😉
Ahh and they look beautiful as well!
Put a record like Alva Noto “Alphabet “ on this and you feel the air move with the BXT. Never had this with another speaker before.
They look superb. I can only imaging how amazing these beast would sound!
You earn far too much money hahah ;)
I wonder how much of that 30,000 is profit for Kii?
What you get with two speakers is 24! woofers, 24 built in converters, 24 built in amps, cardiod DSP magic and maybe the first true non speaker...
@@cycleofficial4744 plus the research and engineering
Beautiful!😁
Digital sound is not analog enough
Would love to hear about your opinion between the Kii and the Strauss monitors!
Do you think the Kii Three without BXT sound better than Barefoot MM27?
Mouth watering.
Is the front ported design of the Focal trio11 be just as the same as the BXT?
Very nice! Hope your keeping your rates tight! Lol
You don't play them?
Just added the BXT's. Of course they make me drool whenever I listen. However, I'm not sure what to use to calibrate them. Previously on the Kii Three satellite speakers I used my Trinnov and that worked fabulously. But with the BXT's the Trinnov is confused and cannot evaluate them, much less calibrate them.
What do you use to calibrate them?
Thanks.
What do you think is confusing the Trinnov? I've heard it's #1 at calibration, but perhaps not?
Did you ever resolve that issue with the Trinnov and the BXTs?
@@stringsdiezel Yes, completely resolved.
@@jackweaver7055 Hi I'm planning to get the Kii+Bxt with the new trinnov nova, you got me worried for a brief moment. What was the fix ?
30k? 😱😱😱😱
Honestly I'm just going to come to you for mastering when I have something really serious to get done. Especially with these bass extenders
if you got these you probably need some extra brakes for your chair
I have the Kii Threes and honestly, I can't imagine getting more output in my room...they're crazy loud and go down to 25hz
I heard Kii and Kii + BXT in comparison.. I encourage you to do the same. It doesn't necessarily feel like more output, it just sounds different, kinda more grounded, balanced and yes, even more "right" (the whole system now has way more headroom because the bass woofers and the midrange woofer don't have to work that hard anymore, less distortion and now with the BXT, hardly any ceiling and floor reflections, that's what they call "array effect").
I don’t have a dog in the race, but I’ll echo cycleofficial’s assertions. Bruno Putzeys has said that the system will reduce THD by about 10dB in the BXT’s operating range. And the line array does mitigate the floor and ceiling “bounce” that usually causes a couple disruptions to the frequency response curve. But I see the real advantage in dropping the THD on a speaker that measures quite high in it below 250Hz. I’d expect significantly more resolution in the low mids and lows as a result of adding these integrated sub cabinets.
The COST though! 😨
@@cycleofficial4744 My room is 4.5m by 3.4m...pretty sure the BXT will be an overkill in here. Maybe in the next room that will be bigger hopefully.
@@fosterlewis7360 thanks for the info.. 10 dB is quite something..
cycleofficial I decided to look up what I’d read, since I don’t want to spread misinformation. Pasted the link at the end. Putzeys is quoted as saying at least 10dB reduction in distortion (but doesn’t specify at what spl nor whether with pure tones or pink noise). This makes a lot of sense because the drivers won’t have to operate at such extreme excursion, not only from the tripling of power and driver area but also from the dramatic increase in cabinet volume.
10dB reduction really is “something significant.” But I’ve also seen some alarmingly-high non-BXT distortion measurements from independent reviews, like for everything below 250Hz. So it may not be as much an achievement as a reduction in that design-compromise. Then again, loudspeaker measurement is quite a difficult science and few reviewers have the facilities or knowledge to do it properly. And it is quite possible that active dispersion control may present complications to accurate measurement technique compared to conventional designs. But it may not. And there is quite a bit of modern research (Sean Olive and Floyd Toole at Harman) that suggests that THD is largely unimportant, taking a major back-seat to a flat on-axis frequency response and an even power response (roughly put-the frequency response of the total sound energy put into the room). What appears to be an estimated power response on the linked review is pretty much ideal. But I’d still love to see a properly measured waterfall plot with accuracy and detail down to 40Hz...
Loudspeakers design is inherently an awful series of tradeoffs. But as Putzeys says here, doing a cardioid bass line array that mitigated the floor bounce is really something amazing. It’s something that no other designs can boast. Even Northward Acoustics concedes that the frequency response disruption from the floor bounce as something unavoidable and that it simply must be accepted.
Anyhow, here is the link. I recommend you read it yourself. His quotes are in a sidebar on the right side of the page.

p.s.-As if all that wasn’t nerdy or wordy enough, another point worth recognizing is the dynamic range improvement the BXTs should yield. Having more headroom in the low end may be as-important or more-important than all these other things. Particularly depending on the top end of a given engineer’s range of monitoring levels. It’s kind of the corollary to “lower THD” in the bass. In the end, Hoffman’s Iron Law always applies.
I would definitely like to demo the Threes without the BXTs. Alas, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to consider a $15k purchase for some years.
Don't touch them plz
They cost about 4 million INR. That is a lot of money in India.
Where is the other speaker😂 looks like u could afford only half of them😂 but no seriously would love to get the bigger picture on your reviews show them both in the room show their back side play some stuff on them.. This Culd easily be a 10 minutes video that i would watch..
Bob Katz say's they are the most transparent actives he's ever heard and a world first asrc software not a chip!
damm man
30k not sure if I'll ever be able to afford those . I have decent speaers, Adam Tensor Delta with Ribbon Tweeter & Midrange and pretty happy with those. But I would like to experience that Bass!
