LXMinis and Kii THREEs compared


This is a dangerous topic, because I've dropped lots of £££ on the Kii THREEs. However, if they're to keep their place, they need to have something better, more than different, about them, compared to the LXMinis.

Setup:

  • 3-way analogue switch box used in reverse, so with RPi streamer (or anything else handy) as input, it selects
    • Kii Analogue inputs
    • LXMini miniDSP inputs
  • Pink noise, from the HFN&RR Test Disk (HFN003), -20dB average level
  • Radio Shack Sound Level Meter, showing 68dB (C weighted, fast response) on both systems at the listening position 
From the literature, getting the levels exactly the same is critical, even 1dB can cause listeners to prefer the louder system. Hopefully I've got it close enough.

Here goes...
