Krix Phoenix Floorstanding Speaker Review

[admin]

If you've been around as long as I have, it is rare that someone mentions a major speaker manufacturer and you don't recognize their name. I'm embarrassed to admit that this was the case with Krix. Their consumer line of speakers has been slowly crossing national borders and being distributed all over the world. The new Phoenix speakers are an MTM design and retail for $1700 a pair. If you are all about the bass, the unplugged Krix will be for you. While they could shake my room, they did so at the unfortunate expense of overall fidelity and accurate music reproduction.

Sound of Perfection

I have read a few times where people use this CD to test thier setup. Where can I find it. I search on Yahoo does not return any results for a CD.

Thanks in advance.

Nice review. Man, for 1700 clams you'd want more performance. Are these speakers geared towards rap, hip hop and bass heads in general? I'd also be interested in the BeoLab test disc.........it isn't offered on the B & O website......it'd be nice to see you review the B&O speaks that the audio critic raved about, too..........

I remember when krix were for kids. Maybe that was trix.

Another 'pro', is that with that large super resonant cabinet, if you lose your bonga drums, you can simply use these as a temporary substitute.

That ever-rising treble should compensate nicely for 75+ year old men with severe hearing loss. The Krix seems to have been designed with such people in mind!
