Kismet in Stratos or Khatargo chassis
« on: 18 Sep 2025, 11:06 am »
Title says it all, but is this something people have done with Klaus? Kismet looks nice but 19x19x6 dimensions is too much for where my gear is placed.

Thanks

I had a VERY productive telecon with Klaus yesterday after I had e-mailed him.. He told me that his cost for a Kismet case has more than trippled recently so he'll no longer be using those cases.. He can build a 'Kismet' inside either of the other cases, so I ordered a pair of 'fully loaded' Kismet monos in anodized-dark-red Stratos cases (with black heatsinks).. These will be driving my incoming Eminent Technology LFT-6s...

...Bruce's 'old' reference speakers that have been discontinued for some years.

Things that really appealed to me with the '6 are its all-single-order x-over filters and no difference in diafram depths among the three drivers, hence excellent phase coherence.. Mine will use Mundorf EVO Oil caps for the 470uF(!) hi-pass filter on the MR panels and a SoniCap Platinum tinfoil-and-Teflon-alloy 2.2uF cap on the tweeter, with all-Neotec UP-OCC-copper wiring.

The '6s and the Kismet/Stratos amps ought to be an excellent combination...AFTER break-in.   :)
