Back to the thread, yes JLM, those Kii 3 look amazing. A well done review from a pro audio perspective. He viewed them as neutral in tone, would that mean a little cool to most home users? We do love our syrupy colorations. From the graph provided it looks like the controlled dispersion is amazing from bass through the entire midrange and beyond falling down only in the high treble, which I assume they don't view as a problem. And the op's situation is perfect for active speakers, no better time than when starting out and no investment in other components yet. Very innovative design.
