I was just going to post a link in the shoutbox as its been mentioned in passing a couple times already but I figure a few members here will end up owning these down the line, may as well start a thread now. 


Here's Drew from Moon's teaser pic:





Here's shots from hifiplus:


With the SS amp:






With the tube amp:





(According to hifiplus the headphone alone will be only $500, with SS $800, with tube $1600.)

I was all set to buy a King speaker from a local Dagogo reviewer recently but it they weren't willing to part with their premo power supplies.  A stat speaker maker getting into the game seems a logical progression, but it just hasn't happened yet.  Apparently King don't use OEM's so that's promising.


What's cool is the price.  They will be sold with matching amps- with the SS amp Drew's projection is $800-1000, with a tube stat amp it will be $1500-$2000.  Pretty attractive package to someone trying to make their first foray into stats.


Specs, also lifted from Drew:





He gives sonic opinions but honestly the way he hypes every new Beyer flagship's sound only for them to suck I wouldn't really put much weight in dealer thoughts.


Still, pretty cool.  Whether the product ends up being good or not, it shows people recognize the market is there. 


The other thing I really like is how this product is essentially the anti-Abyss.  You have a company who is known for their abilities with the very same tech (stats) releasing into a market starved for options, and instead of saying "we're going after the 009's price point", they're offering relatively attractive pricing for a small company producing a product in-house.  Good stuff.
