So, how did it sound?
We first listened to a couple of tracks that Bruno chose, like the ' Fanfare for the Common Man' from Copland.
I heard those tracks already when I listened to the Kii Three BXT speakers last month.

Wow, these little cardboard-like stand-mounts didn't sound like any other bookshelf speakers!
Bass was amazingly good for 6" drivers.
But also the midrange (cross-over at 3 kHz) was wonderful, detailed and delicate.
I asked for a track that I know very well, and have heard on dozens of systems.
Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five':
Again, the bass was terrific.
But what is even more important, the midrange was fantastic, the instruments had air around them, their placement was correct, and there was plenty of detail.
Scale was impressive for such a small speaker.
