    Nothing to do with the Mk2 I speak of!

    There are the Metis line, the Prologos line (including the Tower/Satya/1S1N/the Plus and Anatta) then there is the Apologue (only 25 will ever be made). These are all WIRELESS powered speakers!

    "Regarding the Goldmund active speakers, there are now 12 different models ranging from $6K to $600K. All models use the same active Telos amplification (an amp and separate dac for each driver along with internal dsp processing), and can be run wireless (with supplied dongle) or with a digital cable input from a hub or a processor."

    One of the coolest systems is any of the Aurender servers and a usb dongle (supplied with the speakers) that communicates wirelessly with the speakers. The Aurender folks did an embedded volume control in the Aurender Ipad app specifically for the active/wireless Goldmund speakers

    I would not compare speaker/amp combinations to either Kii or Goldmund Wireless here.

    Oh and as to the DRC in Proteus, they use no microphones (44K parameters are input based on room dimensions and speaker internals). Wonder why Kaiser Speakers are being tuned with Proteus DSP when used with Goldmund amp? See the picture (and commentary) in a 6Moons article last year. i myself happened to see the Kaweros there when I dropped by.
    I don't know for certain but I would guess the guys at Kawero don't know how to use a microphone.

    Kawero is the speaker model. Kaiser is the company.

    Experimenting with multi channel audio using three KII THREE's and the Illusonic processor which is capable of separating direct, reflected and ambient sound, effectively up mixing ordinary two channel audio into multi channel.

    Keith,

    With all due respect, I both represent and am personal friends with the designers and owners at Kaiser Acoustics and I assure you that they do know how to use a microphone.

    Re: Kii Audio - Three

    I heard the Kii speakers at one of the shows (either Axpona or CES, can't remember) with the Kronos TT and thought it sounded EXCELLENT. Very, very nice speakers/system.

    Regarding all of the Goldmund "comments", I would invite anyone visiting Manhattan, especially those that are not just into "mental gymnastics" regarding systems that they have never even heard, BUT are interested in hearing a completely active and wireless system that will compete with complete audiophile/separates systems, but without the wires or clutter, to come in for a visit to one of our two Manhattan showrooms (pics below) where we have eight different models of Goldmund active/wireless systems available for audition. The artwork and furniture in our "Goldmund at Iliad" showroom (shown in pics) are also for sale.

    The complete Goldmund active/wireless (they can be wired if you prefer, but sound exactly the same) systems start at $5K/pair for a mini monitor and go up to the Goldmund Apologue at $540K. All systems use the same electronics, which include separate dac's and amps for each driver along with dsp processing regarding time, phase and amplitude for the incoming audio signal.

    The fully active Logos Towers, which are shown in the pics below, are $29K for a complete system. You can also run any of the Aurender servers with a usb dongle connected to the usb output of any Aurender, which communicates wireless with any of the Goldmund speakers. The volume control is embedded in the Aurender app, which was developed by Aurender specifically for Goldmund active/wireless offerings. We have many of these systems installed globally with MANY happy customers. All you need is an Aurender, an Ipad and a pair of wireless/active Goldmund speakers for a complete system. Come in for a listen, you might be surprised
