Audiovector Ki 1 Signature
High-end bookshelf speaker from Audiovector, designed for stereo and home cinema systems, featuring a recent high-resolution tweeter.
Description
The Ki 1 Signature is a bookshelf speaker from Audiovector, designed to integrate as well into a stereo system as into a home cinema installation. This model belongs to the Danish manufacturer's high-end range, renowned for its work on transducers and speaker architecture.
The Signature model stands out with a new high-resolution tweeter, designed to reproduce treble with greater precision and detail. The magnet structure of the woofer has also been reworked, aiming to improve bass behaviour. The front and rear baffles have furthermore been reinforced to limit unwanted cabinet vibrations and preserve sound clarity. Audiovector also highlights a bass-loading concept, referred to as LCC, intended to optimise low-frequency reproduction despite the speaker's compact format.
This speaker is aimed at enthusiasts of high-end sound seeking a bookshelf format, suited to a medium-sized listening room where the bulk of a floorstanding speaker is not desired. It will suit a dedicated stereo installation as well as a multichannel home cinema system, where it can serve as a front or supplementary speaker depending on the chosen configuration.
What to check before buying used
On this type of bookshelf speaker, the cabinetry deserves careful examination: veneer chips, delamination or warping of the cabinet may indicate unsuitable storage and affect the acoustic behaviour of the LCC. The woofer's suspensions put the flexibility of the woofer to the test of time; a hardened or cracked suspension impairs bass reproduction. It is also worth checking the integrity of the high-resolution tweeter, which is more sensitive to impacts, as well as the presence and condition of the protective grilles and rear connection cables.
