King demoed with Silicon Arts and Concert Fidelity at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2009

30th October, 2009

Stereo Times spotted our King at Silicon Arts / Concert Fidelity's showroom at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Here's what they thought when they compared the two setups in the room:

"When forced to choose between each setup, I thought the King Sound won me over by way of its smooth, yet uncolored and relaxed presentation. That says plenty considering the Hansen Prince V2s retail for $40k!"

Thanks so much for the kind words, Clement! And thank you for using King, Silicon Arts / Concert Fidelity!

dagogo reviews our King

3rd September, 2009

We are pleased to share with you an excellent review of our King, written by Doug Schroeder of dagogo.com.

"How good is the King Sound King? I knew within two minutes of hearing it at CES I had to review it. It only took ten minutes of hearing it in my room, before the VAC power supplies arrived, to know I have to buy it, and every second of every month of use has confirmed it."

CES 2009 reports on KingSound ESLs

15th February, 2009

Thank you to all those who dropped by at the CES last month. It was nice to see many old faces, and new faces were most welcome too.

Before we proceed, we would like to give a shout out to VAC who we had partnered with throughout the show. It's been a great pleasure and thank you so much for your help! You can read all about it in their CES 2009 Report here.

Below is a collection of other CES 2009 reports that have mentioned our ESLs:

"Dynamic snap of percussion instruments was among the best I’ve heard from a full range ESL.  Soundstage width and depth were nearly state-of-the-art, another calling card of good ‘stats."

- Phillip Holmes, dagogo.com

"Most Pleasing Planars [of CES 2009]: KingSound’s The King and The Prince II"

- Doug Schroeder, dagogo.com

"As best as we could determine, the sound was pretty amazing. Since these appear to be rather high value speakers, we'll try to get a pair for review."

- stereomojo.com

"This year, they have U.S. distribution and I'm delighted to say that, for those of us who long for a full-range electrostatic but don't quite have the money for MartinLogan's new CLXs, we now have King Audio."

- Andrew Robinson, hometheaterreview.com

"Regardless of the type of music, including Rammstein and thunderous soundtracks, the Prince II played flawlessly."

- Roger Gordon, positive-feedback.com

"The best sound of the show for me was the King Audio full-range electrostatic speaker. It was not only the best sound I heard at 2009 CES, but the best sound I have heard at any show. It was also one of the best sounds that I have heard from any system."

- Clay Swartz and Karen Wong, positive-feedback.com

"I was taken by the amount of tight and articulate bass these 'stats were capable of..."
