KRIX ACOUSTIX MK2
Stepping up in size from the Equinox, the Acoustix gives you the same sound profile but with more mid and bottom, courtesy of the extra woofer and larger cabinet.
I regularly listen to an old set of these at my brother’s place. He ended up in an all out brawl with his next door neighbour, so yes, these certainly have ample grunt.
Standing at 450mm high they are still a compact bookshelf speaker but can fill far more space than the Equinox. Straight out of the box, like all speakers the need to be run in is immediately obvious. We left them playing for a week at a modest background level. Then the critical listening begun and wow did they open up.
I think these are great speakers and offer some versatility when it comes to your space. Put them on stands for nearfield listening, or on shelves to fill a mid sized room. The front porting means the control of the bottom end is easily achieved. Room treatment and placement might need some consideration in a smaller space as the bottom end is thumping. A good problem to have.
You might want to learn how to put your neighbour in a headlock though, just to be safe.
I’ve been a long time fan and supporter of Krix. Great Speakers, 100 percent Australian made in Adelaide. Excellent value, quality and solid reliability. Plus the big added bonus of having local customer support.
Intricate yet big sound for your 2 channel or surround sound system. Front vents make these an extremely versatile speaker. One of the few speakers which can be pushed up hard into a bookcase or against a wall. These deserve serious consideration. Come in for a listen.
Indulge in concert quality music or a stunning home theatre experience. Proud winners of the 2015 Sound+Image Loudspeaker of the Year in the $1000 – $4000 category, the Acoustix Mk2 delivers a seriously big sound for a bookshelf speaker.
Mid-range and bass are delivered by dual 130mm high grade drivers with a doped curvilinear paper cone, high sensitivity voice coil and powerful magnet design, providing a powerful bass normally only found in larger floor standing speakers. Highs come from a 26mm ring radiator tweeter with central waveguide for improved intelligibility and transparency.
Their big sound can be the basis of a high quality 2 channel stereo system or be used in multi-channel surround sound. Combine them with the matching Krix Graphix Mk2 centre speaker and you have the front stage of an acoustically intricate home theatre experience.
Its dual front vent design allows you to mount them on stands, place them in bookshelves, on a TV cabinet, or incorporate them into custom joinery. Wherever you put them in your room, they will look and sound great!
