Introducing the Emerald Physics KC II open baffle loudspeaker.

The KC II is our least expensive speaker and sets a new standard in value in high end loudspeakers.The KC II is 93Db efficient, runs off of one amp and does not need DSP to sound great.

Just introduced at the Newport show & shipping in early to mid July the KC II offers audiophiles true high end performance on a tight budget. Performance for the money is off the scale. But don't take our word for it.

Here is what the experts are
saying

Best Sound (for the
money):
 (Paul
Seydor)


"Emerald Physics KCII speaker system ($2495/pr.) driven by
Emerald’s EP100.2SE amplifier and Anti-Mode’s Dual
2.0
 as preamp playing CDs from a modest Marantz player. This demo featured
among the most involving overall sound that I heard at the
show."

In Other News (Robert
Harley)


"Perhaps the best overall value at the
show
was the Emerald Physics KCII open-baffle loudspeaker system ($2499)
driven by the company’s EP100.2SE hybrid power amplifier. The whole
system was priced at just under $6k at retail, but offered at $3799. This system
put many five-figure systems to shame."

Best of Show (Jim
Hannon)


"Best Sound (for the
money): 
A tie
between the very spacious and natural-sounding Magnepan system with
three Maggie .7 speakers ($1400/pair) driven
by Bryston electronics, and the Emerald Physics KC II open-baffle
loudspeaker driven by an EP100.2SE  100Wpc hybrid digital
amplifier."

Five Most Significant Products (Dr.
Robert E Greene)

Emerald Physics KC II
Loudspeaker
"Emerald Physics
 was, as usual, showing exceptional
products at really exceptionally low prices.
In particular, the KC II open- baffle speakers at $2495 sounded very convincing musically and also
looked spectacular
, with an airbrushed faux wood finish that was to wood what
Balthasar Neumann’s faux marble was to Baroque architecture—arguably more
beautiful than the real thing. Emerald Physics was integrating its systems
with DSPeaker’s room-correction and frequency-response adjustment
devices. This seems to me very much the way that audio needs to go, offering as
it does extraordinary—and adjustable—sound in domestically compatible packages
at modest prices. People often wonder how serious audio can survive outside the
1% market. This is how."

Best sound for the
money
: (Dr.
Robert E Greene)

"A tie between the Emerald Physics
KC II
, bringing really truthful sound in at really low prices, and
the Lambert system for its unique naturalness, of vocal reproduction
especially, with a footprint that is miniscule."

A wonderful report from The Audio
Traveler at:
http://theaudiotraveler.com/2015/06/06/newport-2015-emerald-physics/

The new Emerald Physics KC II is a 4 driver three way open baffle design with dual (2) custom 10" woofers and the custom Emerald Physics "Godzilla" 8" point source midrange/tweeter. It throws a large 3 dimensional soundstage and imaging is exceptional. Dynamics are extraordinary for a $2500.00 pair of speakers. They are easy to drive at 93Db efficient. The boxiness associated with all speakers in this price class is totally gone. Once you listen to an open baffle it is hard to go back to ordinary box designs.

Our intro price is $1999.00 for the pair in black powder coat. With a $250.00 deposit in June we are including the $500.00 black hi gloss finish. The $3000.00 retail as quoted includes the $500.00 black gloss finish.  Call to discuss these superb speakers at 770-667-5633..

With a subwoofer and our DSP2.4 DSP crossover/EQ they become even better. Call for package pricing.

The photos are of the show speakers in optional custom hand painted red burl finish, an $1800.00 option that is 1/2 price ($900) if ordered this month. Hand painted Rosewood is also 1/2 price ($900) this month.
