Mystery speakers

[d052057]

I have seen a pair of speakers but I don't know what and how good they are. The only logo on it is just like the combination of K and A.
Does any body have any ideas on these speakers?
Thank you.

Looks like a set of Kinetic Audio speakers.
The layout certainly fits.

I had not noticed the price tag on those

The pic @bowtie427ss posted is similar, but not quite the same. Notable differences:

• OP's has rounded top corners, while Sterophile's version has rounded front and rear corners
• OP's is rear ported, SP's is front ported
• OP's has full length grille, SP's only covers the drivers
• OP's has convex dustcaps, SP's has concave
• Level controls are placed differently
• Woofer's in OP's photo are closer to the bottom

I suspect the OP's speakers may actually be the Exemplar, which uses similar drivers but is slighty smaller (still different config, but again, could be an earlier version). According to the text, the rounded side corners were an option.

And now they can probably be yours for a few hundred dollars if not less
Go get ‘em

The metal domes and triple binding posts would have been clues that these are not your average thrift store find. Would like to get more info from the OP on where they found them and if they'll be buying.

Anything with three sets of binding posts should have been immediately purchased. Everything about those speakers screams quality no matter what.
I hope you didn't miss out.

Kinetic Audio as listed in the 2nd & 3rd post!

I thought post #3 made that obvious.

Identical drivers and layout. Albeit a different model.

You probably got about a 99% discount compared with MSRP. I think that qualifies as a mega-score, assuming they work.

Hope you have appropriate electronics. I eagerly await a listening report. These should be new enough that a recapping won't be necessary.

Congratulations!
Please do let us know how they sound.
