    KV2 Demo available in NH

    If any DJs here in the New England area have ever been curious about the KV2 sound.

    I just picked up a pair of EX10's & EX12's to go with my EX2.2 sub.

    I setup a quick A/B test last night.

    System A) EV Live X - A pair of EV ELX112P (1000W 12" 2-way cabs), over a pair of EV ELX118P (single 18" 700W sub).
    TOTAL system power - 3,400 watts

    System B) KV2 - A pair of KV2 EX10 (500W 10" 2-way cabs), over a single KV2 EX2.2 sub (1000W dual 12" sub)
    TOTAL system power - 2,000 watts

    Music source: Various MP3s encoded at 320 CBR, all played via VirtualDJ (on my Core i5 Dell) thru my Rane MP25

    Now just going by published specs, the EV system should have the upper hand.

    Tops ... EV's are a pair of 12" vs KV2's pair of 10" (EX10's),
    Subs .. EV are two single 18" subs vs a single dual 12" sub,
    Total System Power ... EV list 1,400 more watts more than KV2

    EV should easily beat the KV2. Right?

    Not the case.

    KV2 wins, hands down. The clarity of the KV2 is unbelievable.

    Matter of fact, with the KV2 I heard things
    that were inaudible with my EVs.

    If your curious, and want to listen for yourself .... come on down.
    I'm located on the MA/NH Border, in Nashua, NH

    Bring your current speakers if you like to do your own A/B

    Let you ears be the judge.

    Thanks, been saying the same thing for years. My go to system is a pair of EX10's with one EX2.2 and I usually have to turn the 2.2 down.

    Bill,

    Do you sell the KV2 stuff? I have a KV2 EX 2.2 sub that I love! I go back and forth between it and my 4 Bose B1 subs. Either option is a great choice, but I think the KV2 sounds a little better... just don't always enjoy lugging it around, as it's much bigger than my Bose B1 subs.

    If you do sell these, what sort of price are you getting for the KV2 EX10's? You can IM me, if you prefer.

    And by the way, I know these things are made over in Europe, but how come almost nobody sells this brand here in the states??? I would think if something sounded that great, people would be chomping at the bit to both sell it and buy it. Just my opinion, I guess, but seems like a no-brainer to me. Thanks.

    Yes I sell them but they are expensive. I happen to have a lightly used EX2.2 sub at a very attractive price.

    Please email me for quotations.
