Krix Nuephonix Floorstanding Loudspeakers Wanting to buy a pair of Krix Nuephonix speakers. Preferably m2 in either black ash, piano black or Blackwood veneer. Will consider m1 and other finishes. Condition: Unspecified Payment Method: Region/State: (SA) South Australia/Australia By Pedro 76 0 Comments AUD $3,000 Date: August 14, 20241 yr
Should you jump on this at A$3,000, or wait? Against your own recent comps, it lands well above the A$810 median and even over the A$703 25th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It is not in “run away” territory given the spread, but it’s priced for a seller who thinks this pair sits toward the top end of the market.
That said, this is the kind of Krix floorstander that can be worth stretching for if the presentation is genuinely clean. The big upside here is paying for a respected Australian speaker with real scale, dynamics, and easy room-filling performance rather than chasing a cheaper, lesser-known alternative. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are original and tidy, and there’s no hidden repair history, the value case is strongest for a buyer who wants a serious endgame speaker and can verify condition in person.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
