"Conclusion
Are they worth the 20G price tag? Yes. In a heartbeat. You'll get much of what Lars Hansen has spent years creating in his flagship King. No, the Knights won't go as low and with as much authority, or handle as much power, but then fifty thousand dollars is a very large difference in price. Personally, I think the King (now in V2 iteration) is the world's finest speaker. If money was no object, the Kings would be in my home 'till I was old(er) and grey(er)! If money is an object and your room is not too large (welcome to the real world), the Knights will be a superb addition to your system. The centerpiece, in fact. They work with all sorts of good equipment and will pass the WAF. And most importantly, they will give the listener many hours of musical pleasure.
After a while, when the pride of ownership has diminished and the lull in the hobby subsides for a month or two, you'll be able to head to the listening room and hear music in its purest form. No glitz or glamour, no 'mine is bigger than yours', no 'check this bass out', just the greatest art form in sound that, in the here and now and at the the Knights' size, technology and price point, will be difficult to better. Very highly recommended."
