YG Acoustic Kipods

khrys: please keep us posted. I have been looking at those speakers with interest.

I have heard good things about these. What is the retail price? I understand they are popular in the Far East. Speakers are so difficult to rotate. It must be worth the effort.

Dgad, the Kipod Studio with active subwoofer retails for $38k. They are easy to drive and do not require hyper-expensive amps.

Though they are made in Colorado they are indeed very well received in Asia. They are amazingly easy to position, even by one person. Since they're not ported they'll probably end up closer to the back wall than my W/P8s.

I'll let you know if it was worth the effort.

i have also heard the Kipods in the same system as a pair of WP8's. the Kipods imaged like champs. in the early setup phase before we were able to connect the lower bass module, we played an acoustic guitar track that was as transparent and true-to-like as any other sound i have EVER heard a speaker reproduce. we did feel that the Kipod was not able to play as loud as the WP8, but the YG was more neutral and measured much better than the 8's.

Aren't the Kipods difficult to drive? How much power does one need?
