Kingsound King II vs King

Kings Audio in Hong Kong have informed me that the Kingsound King II is now for sale in place of the King, with the main difference being "the signal circuitry & power supplier of King II is separated from the sounding body". I've heard the King but not the King II, and have the option of buying either (I can get the King cheaper). Has anyone seen/heard both and able to comment on the differences?

Many thanks

what kind of speakers are you using? having available service would be a consideration.

You're right, service/warranty is an issue but this again is available for me with both options.

I don't think the King II has been available for long so perhaps no-one has had a chance to hear it yet?

You might as well get the plain King because you know you like it and have already rationalized the purchase price.
If you were really overly concerned with warranty service matters, you would not have considered them in the first place.
If and when you get to hear the King II then you can just upgrade if it sounds so much better.

I have heard them both. The King II is more diffuse especially in the highs - the panel is like the Prince II. If you like Quads then you'll likely love it. The King is like an ultra-wide two way with superb coherence tipped on its side. If you like Maggies you will have no issues with it's sound.

I wrote up the King on Dagogo.com and own it.

What gear will you use with it?
