Kea Audio Loud Speaker

The design loudspeaker KEA AUDIO OCEANIA is a piece of art made from the finest ancient New Zealand Kauri Timber, hand-crafted by local wood craftspeople. The design is inspired by the pacific fish which is traditionally the most important food source of the Pacific people. The KEA AUDIO OCEANIA is omni-polar and has two sets of woofers, midrange and tweeters, one set directing to the listener and the other to the wall.

NuForce S-9

Robert E. Greene, The Absolute Sound, USA

Before you even hear a sound, you know this one is something different...extraordinarily clean-sounding...play really loudly...ultra-pure sound...ability to reveal the details of sound expanding into ambient space is startling...have good bass extension...extreme top of the S9s takes off into the wild blue yonder...The S9s did well on the ultimate test, reproduced versus live music...really convincing in this nearly direct comparison with live music...convincing on large-scaled orchestral music like full orchestra as well...Voices were surprisingly realistic in their natural timbre and precise positioning, and people sounded like people...think about what live music really sounds like. I think you will come away as impressed as I did." - Feb 2007 Issue

Musical Affairs speakers

Built to mimic the resonance of musical instruments. Thin resonant sides with open bottoms and slotted backs. PHY drivers.

I've always been intrigued by this concept.
