Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can


give me some feedback. How do you like them? How do they compare to SoundLAB's newest PX series?

Do they have enough body and texture - "meat on the bones".
I am most interested in this speaker and look forward to your comments.

I have 300 watt monoblock amps so power is not an issue. My room is 24 x 18 and they will be 6-7 feet out from the wall behind them.

Ha, should have revisited the posts. Jumping between too many conversations. I forgot that there was more than one Roger involved here in the situation. :) I thought that the setup mentioned was a bit too spartan for Roger Du Naier and the King, but in the past he has minimized demo setups somewhat.
The VAC/Kingsound/Cardas room at Axpona seems to have been one of the most well received. The King was in use, not the King II which was seen at CES. Use of a fine cable such as Cardas and the VAC Royal power supply would elevate the sound dramatically over past shows. People were finally beginning to hear what I have been hearing. However, if the speaker was not bi-wired and being used in a hotel room there still would be a very significant gap between what was heard and the speaker's full potential. The demo seems to have been more suited to the speaker's capabilities, and not surprisingly people noticed.
I am the King Dealer for the Rocky Mountain States, the pair at CES 2010 was the Prince II not the King II.

The King and Prince II sound great, a truly holistic sound and image that is equaled by few if any other speakers.

The King and Prince II are pure Electrostatic panels not hybrids. Plus they are true line sources which works much better for imagine than trying to make them point sources as the Quads do.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the King line or want to visit Denver for a Listen.

Being more technically correct, a working model of the King II was shown at CES; It is in development. The pic of the King II is in my Dagogo.com show report.
The original King is an extremely strong performer imo due to it being both ESL and line source. The bass performance is very commendable but improves nicely with the VAC power supply.
