Davis Krypton 3 V2

The Krypton 3 V2 is a compact two-way bookshelf speaker, designed by Davis to occupy a small footprint while maintaining a refined musical performance. It features a circular bass reflex port located at the rear of the cabinet, a solution that extends bass reproduction without increasing the size of the speaker.

The upper end of the spectrum is handled by a 28 mm fabric dome tweeter, while bass and midrange are covered by a 13 cm Kevlar midrange-woofer. The crossover frequency between these two transducers is set at 4000 Hz. The stated bandwidth at ±3 dB ranges from 47 Hz to 21000 Hz, and the 90 dB sensitivity indicates that the speaker delivers a comfortable sound level for moderate amplification power. With a nominal power of 80 W and a maximum power handling of 120 W, as well as an impedance between 4 and 8 ohms, it can be paired with amplifiers across a range of power outputs.

This compact format is aimed at those looking to build a hi-fi system in a limited space, without giving up balanced stereo listening. Its impedance of 4 to 8 ohms and good sensitivity make it compatible with most integrated amplifiers on the market, whether valve or transistor, provided their power stays within the stated range.
