That's the actual response of the speakers, at the listening position, approximately 2.5 meters, in a largely untreated room.

I went with the Dutch for a few reasons, with nothing at all against the Kii.

The Kii have more moving parts, and the Dutch is a more passive design, hence less areas to potentially go wrong. In line with this thought, the Kii introduce almost 90ms of delay, and the Dutch closer to 30ms. As my preamp also adds a significant amount of time alignment, I decided to go with the less elaborate configuration.

Two, the bass setup more reflects what I've had in my horn rig, leveraging the room, as part of the acoustic. As it stands, the Dutch and Dutch blows away my double stack Lyngdorf subs.. It's the best bass, deeper, tighter, most musical, I've ever had.

Lastly, I just like the way they look. Understated. In my mind, if I could get the performance of my horns, in the package of the Kefs.. Call it a day. They've shot well beyond that mark.

I hope that I answered your question.
