Commercial Krix Acoustix Bookshelf Loudspeakers 1 Pair Krix Acoustix in Blackwood, in excellent condition. Pick up from Thornbury only. Available to demo. More Krix speakers on clearance at Thornbury, please enquire directly with store. The Acoustix loudspeakers bring a level of room placement flexibility not before seen in this type of Krix design.

At A$1,297, this sits well above the A$825 median and even above the A$800 lower quartile of recent used AUD listings, so it’s not a bargain on pure market comps. It is, however, still below the A$4,600 upper quartile, which keeps it in “premium but not silly” territory for a well-kept pair.
These are regarded as capable Australian-made bookshelf speakers, with the sort of clean, dynamic presentation that can make them a long-term keeper if the rest of the system is up to it. “Excellent” condition matters here: for older speakers, cabinet shape, intact drivers, and original grilles are the big checks. If they’re complete and unrestored, this is a credible buy for someone who values condition and wants to avoid the riskier end of the used market.

Krix Loudspeakers was founded in 1974 by Scott Krix in Adelaide, Australia, following his degree in electronic engineering. Beginning in a garage with basic hand tools, the company evolved from crafting bespoke speakers for friends into a globally recognized manufacturer. By 1976, Scott opened The Acoustic Foundry, a hi-fi retail concept that pioneered the "Design Your Own Systems" approach, allowing customers to audition and customize speaker elements. The Home Grown series launched in 1978, establishing Krix's first commercial product line across multiple price points and sizes. Today, the company remains family-owned and operated, with Scott and his brothers Gary and Ashley still active in the business after five decades.
Krix specializes exclusively in loudspeakers across three primary categories: commercial cinema speakers, home cinema systems, and high-end domestic audio speakers. The brand gained prominence in the 1980s by pioneering infinite baffle wall technology and constant directivity horn designs for multiplex cinemas, a market segment they dominated for two decades. Their commercial cinema speakers now grace over 4,500 installations across 40 countries. In 2010, Krix formalized its home cinema range, and by 2018 became the exclusive Trinnov Audio Commercial Cinema distributor for multiple regions.
Krix occupies the premium to ultra-premium tier of the audio market, positioned as a high-end specialist rather than a mass-market manufacturer. The brand commands respect among both professional installers and discerning audiophiles willing to invest significantly in sound quality. Their reputation rests on decades of engineering innovation, proprietary horn technology, and unwavering commitment to Australian manufacturing. Krix appeals to buyers seeking cinema-grade acoustics for domestic environments and those pursuing uncompromising audio performance, making them a niche but prestigious choice within the global hi-fi landscape.
