Frequently Asked Questions

The HS5s offer a more neutral, 'clinical' sound, while the K5s have a slightly warmer, more forgiving character, but less detail overall.
The room compensation is surprisingly functional, particularly the low-frequency adjustments; they can noticeably improve imaging in less-than-ideal spaces.
While the cabinet is MDF, the plastic waveguide and overall construction suggest these are best suited for studio use; frequent travel would risk damage.
