I am selling a 3 month old pair of KC II speakers for an Oahu customer who is going on disability and is selling his entire system. The speakers are only available for pickup in Waianae, HI 96792. They will have a 3-year  factory warranty

The freight was over $500.00 to get them here.

And you can buy the $500.00 BOM for only $199.00 delivered with purchase.

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.

In the first review in Audiophilia they summed with:  "The trickle down

technology from the top Emeralds like the EP-2.8s to the new KCII is very

effective. You'll get both very sweet and dynamic sound, transparency, a

beautifully balanced midrange and a solid low end all for a very reasonable

price. Very highly recommended."

"It
is with great pleasure that we award the
Audiophilia Star Component Award to

the Emerald Physics KC II Open Baffle Speaker. Congratulations! – Ed
"

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 a quote from a new customer:

"But the way I hooked them
(KCII) up late last night and even though they haven't broken in, I have two
words.   " holy shit".   Walter, this is a lot of speaker
for the money!  Honestly, one of the best speakers I have heard at any

price. This is hardly an entry level speaker.  Now I see why once you hear an open baffle
speaker, it's hard to listen to anything else.  I love then , and the

dsp,,,,  perfect!"

Wow, it's been almost 2 months since putting the KC IIs in
my system, which has given me ample time to play music beyond the break-in
period, including the late addition of the second amp.Over the last couple days I have been spinning Van Morrison
Greatest Hits, and very late last night, The Essential Leonard Cohen (2
discs).Even at very late night low levels (1:30-4:30!) the KCIIs
amaze in their ability to reveal a ton of 3 dimensional space with every bit as much speed and detail as I ever had through the Magnepan 3.5Rs. (I stuck with

the Maggies for ~ 6 years, mostly for their 40"+ ribbon tweeters). While the

mid/bass was clean, it lacked texture



The KC IIs inner detail is so good, I often found myself
drifting towards the music, forgetting to pay proper attention to his powerful, often enlightening lyrics, which when listening to Cohen is "Essential".
Consequentially, I found myself repeating tune after tune to catch up to his
stirring and enlightening words.

At low levels, every instrument and back up singer had the proper location, space, and tone, but turn up the volume to a near live level and the music takes on a physical "They're Here!" quality. Through the Maggies I often felt like an observer. But with

the KCIIs, I often feel immersed. Cohen's songs took on a much deeper meaning as the musical
arrangements so fit the words, weaving a phenomenal tapestry. "Democracy" could
easily have been written today. Listening to "Take This Waltz", for the first

time I paid attention to his modern interpretation of what a Waltz sounds like.

I was Waltzing in my chair

I will go out on a limb here and suggest that even if you already own much more expensive speakers, buy these and compare. Even if you take a paper loss selling yours to keep these, musically you could be miles ahead

Here is what the
experts are saying

http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2015-newport-audio-show-report/

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."

http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-show-newport/

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.


Parts quality is superb throughout. Check out the photo of our crossover versus

that of a competitive product.


Now only $1,399.00 with pickup in Waianae, HI 96792


These are amazing speakers for the price. Call to discuss these superb speakers
