Topic/Activity: The King Audio Electrostatic Loudspeaker (Prince III) & the electrostatic KS-H3 Headphones

Roger DuNaier of Performance Devices will travel to the East Coast from Torrance, CA, to demonstrate some of the King Sound electrostatic technologies. Performance Devices is the exclusive US distributor for King Sound and will demonstrate the Prince III full-range speaker system and two electrostatic headphone systems. The Prince III was rated ‘Best of the Show’ by the Absolute Sound Magazine in their AXPONA (Audio Expo North America) 2014 report. The show was held from April 25th through 27th at the Westin O'Hare in Chicago.

The CNET earphone of choice, the KingSound KS-H3 headphones, was highly rated by Steve Guttenberg . He said they are ‘Astonishing headphones with clarity like you've never heard before.’ David Cohen of Hegel Music Systems located in Framingham, MA, will be present and has graciously agreed to supply their highly regarded electronics for the demonstration.

King Sound is a well-established electrostatic loudspeaker manufacturer in Hong Kong. King Sound products retail in the UK, Italy, Canada, US, China and Australia. The 13 year old company has already earned a reputation for high performance and very competitive prices. Audiophiles around the world have been taking notice of the once small manufacturer’s pledge to bring genuine high fidelity back into your listening room. Alvin Foster, BAS founder, has maintained at their Annual BAS Consumer Electronics Show Review Meetings that the KS-10 electrostatic speaker is among the best items demonstrated at CES. For the last 5-years Foster has always categorized the KS-10 as one of the most accurate speakers auditioned at CES.

As always, you do not have to be a BAS member to attend. Refreshments will be available at 5:30 PM.
