Krix Equinox Mk 1 Bookshelf Loudspeakers Krix Equinox Mk1 Bookshelf Speakers + Matching Stands Price: $450 (negotiable) + shipping Location: Dorrigo, NSW Condition: Excellent working order Premium Australian-made speaker set with matching stands. Pair of Krix Equinox Mk1 bookshelf speakers in 6 Ohm configuration — renowned for their clear, neutral sound and exceptional stereo imaging. These are solid timber cabinet speakers with matching original metal speaker stands — ideal for a hi-fi setup, home theatre rears, or desktop listening. Specifications: Model: Krix Equinox Mk1 Impedance:
Krix’s Equinox is a respected Australian bookshelf speaker, and A$450 looks like a solid buy rather than a stretch. New pricing is around A$1,095, so this sits at well under half of retail; for a clean used pair in excellent condition, that’s attractive value.
What makes it worth chasing is the Equinox’s ability to sound bigger than its size: strong midbass, good clarity, and easy TV-friendly placement from the shielded design. It’s a capable all-rounder for stereo or surrounds, and current-model status helps with parts/support. At this price, I’d mainly want intact grilles, matching finish, and confirmation the drivers are original and both speakers are clean and quiet.

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.
