Krix ACOUSTIX Mk2 Bookshelf Loudspeakers Up for sale are my very first audiophile studio speakers - Aussie made KRIX Acoustix MK2 speakers. I purchased them from Carlton Audio. I am selling because I have upgraded. They are in great working condition with a few superficial scratches. https://www.krix.com.au/product/acoustix-mk2 Condition: Very Good Payment Method: Cash Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By chrischoong8 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $1,000 Date: December 31, 2025Dec 31
At A$1,000, this sits a bit above the recent used cluster for these speakers, which is A$908 at the median and A$951 at the 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It’s not miles off, but relative to the local market it’s asking for a premium over the typical spread.
That said, Krix speakers have a solid reputation for punchy, engaging sound and good build quality, and a very good example can justify paying toward the top of the range if the drivers, grilles, and cabinets are clean. If it’s original, complete, and properly cared for, it’s still a sensible buy for someone who wants a well-regarded Australian speaker rather than a project.
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.
