The Amphion Krypton 3X is the Finnish maker's three way flagship floorstander, handmade in Finland and built around the technologies that trickle down through the rest of the range. Its 1 inch titanium tweeter sits in Amphion's 5th generation U/D/D waveguide, above two 8 inch ribbed papyrus midrange drivers and a single 10 inch side firing aluminum woofer.
The heart of the Krypton 3X is its cardioid midrange. The two papyrus cones work in vented internal chambers that shape a cardioid dispersion pattern, cutting unwanted reflections from side and rear walls by a large margin so the speaker performs well even in smaller rooms or close to windows. Amphion crosses low, at 160 Hz and 1,600 Hz, so that this cardioid midrange covers the widest possible band and the transitions between drivers stay seamless.
The vented three way cabinet reaches down to 21 Hz within a 3 dB window with real authority. Rated at 89 dB sensitivity and a 4 ohm nominal load, the Krypton 3X calls for 100 to 300 watts of quality amplification. It is offered in Standard White, Full Black, and Walnut and is backed by Amphion's five year warranty.
