Our top-of-the-range KAYA model, the KAYA 90 delivers an effortless, powerful and focused sound that connects you directly and intimately with the music. These three-way floor-standing loudspeakers combine some of our very best audio technology with a slim, unobtrusive profile, making them easy to live with, as well as a joy to listen to.
A RICH PEDIGREE
Like all the KAYA series, the KAYA 90 shares its DNA with our GIYA loudspeakers. That family connection is immediately evident visually in the KAYA 90s smoothly curved contours. But its your ears that will truly confirm their common ancestry. The KAYA 90 is so called because it has an internal volume of 90 litres. That, combined with its four patented reaction-cancelling drivers and Tapered Tube loading the same technology we pioneered with GIYA gives the KAYA 90 its astonishing clarity and articulation in the bass.
DESIGN
The curved bass absorber horn is the defining external feature of our GIYA loudspeakers. As with everything we do, its there for unarguable engineering reasons: it absorbs resonances and coloration, so you can hear every note with perfect precision and clarity. But wed be the first to admit such a radical look isnt for everyone. With the KAYA 90, the horn is still there; for the same reasons, and giving you the same benefits. The difference is that its folded back on itself, so it curves round inside the enclosure. So KAYA 90 gives you the same resonance-free sound in the lower mid-range, from a slimmer, more understated profile you may find easier to live with.
A DEEP UNDERSTANDING
With many conventional three-way loudspeakers, its possible to tune into the bass, mid-range and tweeter as separate parts of the sound field. Thats something weve worked strenuously to avoid with KAYA 90. Using all-aluminium drive units, and crossovers developed and built entirely in-house, weve made the transition between drivers totally seamless. Weve also set the tweeter in a shallow waveguide, so that the sound is projected forwards rather than dispersing sideways. The result is perfect continuity in the sound, and a more focused listening experience unaffected by your room acoustics.
