It should be better, I suppose the question is , is it £15k better.

Keith what does the BXT bring to the party? As I understood Kii Three, were already a full range speaker (20hz upwards)

Just this minute heard that the first Kii THREE BXT modules will arrive here on the 28th of this month .

@Greybeard, the Kiis do already have superb bass, and in every room I have measured them in, they have been ‘flat’ at 20Hz , the BXTs add sixteen drivers, 4000 watts of power amplifier, they turn the Kiis into a line source, this eradicates floor cancellation , and the cardioid response of the speakers is extended lower into the bass.

I haven’t actually heard the Kii three /BXT combination yet, so I am looking forward to them arriving.

You need to get your list ready, Keith, of tracks with stomach-turning bass. I'm sure you going to have plenty of fun.

There is a new adjustable/levelling  ‘foot’ design for the BXT, not on the Kii website yet

http://www.kiiaudio.com/bxt.php

I am genuinely interested to hear them they have the potential to be in unequivocally the world’s ‘best’ loudspeaker.

One pair will be permanently  available to demo here, in North London.

I will ask the U.K. distributor, re shows.

In preparation for the BXT’s arrival, that very nice Tom Jansen from Kii just upgraded everything to the latest firmware, we then just checked everything with a bit of Radiohead.
