HiFi Knights –
I love horns! I feel as if I have to repeat that because it might have influenced a bit my perception of Destination Audio NiKA even if I tried to be as objective, as it is ever possible with any audio component. Let’s be honest though, it is not very likely that a fan of vented, or closed-cabinet designs will switch to horns after reading this one, or any other review. It wouldn’t be reasonable or recommended. It is a specific type of speaker one has to experience in a good setup and only then decide whether this is what floats their boat or not. If you decide to give them a try Destination Audio NiKA are one of the best possible choices I know.
Many low-power SET amplifier aficionados look for speakers that could be a good match for their amps both in terms of proper high sensitivity and flat impedance curve and top-level performance. Destination Audio NiKA may be your answer. They will be a fantastic match for even the best among SETs, they should perform well even in rooms as small as 20 sqm, and they will deliver a stunning, refined, highly resolving, yet smooth, natural, incredibly musical, but also highly dynamic, amazingly spatial, very „here and now” performance. They will keep you excited, and engaged, as listening to the music will become an immersive, never boring experience. These are some of the best speakers that ever visited my listening room. They, the same as WE 417 A phono stage, fully deserve our VICTOR award, despite the fact, that they are not even the top Destination Audio model.
