Roundup of CES and THE Show 2011 press coverage

17th February, 2011

King's Audio Ltd. would like to thank everyone who visited us at CES and THE Show 2011 last month. Here is a roundup of some of the press coverage that mentions our award-winning KingSound electrostatic loudspeaker systems:

"The bugbears of electrostatic panels have been limited treble dispersion and a lack of low-frequency definition, but listening to Hans Theesink's and Terry Evans' rendition of "You Can't Tell a Book," from the LP Vision, where the guitarist and singer were accompanying themselves with footstomps, the bass remained in control and the top-octave sounded airy and spacious." - Stereophile

"Belle surprise sur le plan sonore, ces grandes King II sont capables de délivrer du vrai grave, sans effort, parfaitement intégré au reste du spectre, on retrouve les qualités que nous avions noté sur les modèles The Prince II, avec cette fois plus d' ampleur sur toute la bande passante."

"Best sound of the CES show 2011" award - Magazine Audio

"An added treat was the appearance of the Emperor II, a prodigious tri-panel affair reminiscent of the Magneplanar Tympani IV. The Emperor's soundstage made other panels sound puny.

...

The performance of the King II was better than any previous demo at shows with the King, despite the less-than-optimal room setup. This bodes well for the speaker, as the King has been a sensational product in my long term use." - dagogo

"At $12,000 a pair they [King II] aren't cheap and there are barely any places to hear them around the country but to hear Taraszka, O'Toole and Robinson rave while walking out of the room - maybe some dealers should take notice." - Home Theater Review

"Practicality aside unless you're looking for some room dividers, the $60K Emperor II electrostats had ease, flow and detail." - Positive Feedback

We would also like to thank our brilliant CES partner VAC. You can check out their quality amplifiers over at http://www.vac-amps.com/.

Until next year, take care!
