K1

Due to the success of the 'K Series’ floor-standing speakers, we were asked to produce a stand-mounted speaker for the range.

And, after years of research and development, we designed the K1.

The K1 stand-mounted speaker uses our specialist Kevlar cone and proven ribbon tweeter, which is used throughout the K Series range. We have however, made certain modifications to the cabinet, bass driver and tweeter to make it adaptable and suitable for a stand-mounted loudspeaker.

Although the K1 is a stand-mounted speaker, it has a surprisingly extended and accurate bass response with the familiar, beautiful midrange from the K Series bass drivers.

The unique K design cabinet, with its vent porting, has been incorporated into the K1 alongside a specially designed dedicated stand to complement and bring out the best in the speaker. The K1 stand is also available separately.

Considering its size, the K1 gives an impressive sound stage for a stand-mounted speaker with an almost electrostatic open midrange and very accurate bass, a characteristic of the K Series range.

We are sure that the K1 will not disappoint.

For our more compact floor-standing K Series speaker, the K3, a specific Kevlar drive unit needed to be developed.
The K6 is designed for audiophiles and music lovers who are looking for a true high-end loudspeaker offering smooth reproduction and an impressively flat response throughout the frequency range.
The K6 Signature uses a similar cabinet to the K6 being an excellent size with its tall slim design. However, the K6 Signature is different in many ways.

"I imagine designers carry designs around in their heads that maybe never come into fruition, and I am no exception. I like to sit outside under the stars and often get many good ideas from this peace and tranquility."
