Hi JD, just a few comments on what is not quite correct in your description of the Kii THREEs. 1. The Kii Control is not meant to be run by cable through the room - it is IR capable. 2. The bigger punch is an air displacement artifact that you get when you use bigger woofers. Please know that this artifact is not on the recording - it is produced by the driver and makes you believe there is more bass. 3. Hardness in the treble: The Kii THREEs measure totally flat in the top - should that be too much or too little for an individual listening room or listeners ears we have incorporated a semi paramentric shelve EQ to compensate for that. Have fun with your purchase - Kii Audio
