What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 96/100
What Hi-Fi found the Neuphonix Mk2 an exceptionally capable large-room speaker, combining powerful and controlled low frequencies with a notably pure midrange and unusually refined treble. It was also praised for maintaining convincing performance beyond the central listening position, while retaining composure at live-like levels.
Bass
96/100
What Hi-Fi describes the bass as powerful, superbly deep and strikingly lifelike, with the four-driver array distributing it smoothly through a large room. On Fleetwood Mac's "Emerald Eyes," bass lines were taut and pitch-defined even during rapid, staccato playing.
Mid
96/100
The midrange was called exceptional, with particular praise for its purity and the clean projection of female vocals. The review also noted that subtle changes in vocal timbre, from sweetness to rasp and full-force singing, came through clearly.
Treble
97/100
High frequencies were described as silken-smooth, seamless and free of audible discontinuities. What Hi-Fi particularly admired the upper-octave air, saying it matched the sense of spaciousness heard from speakers costing far more.
Soundstage Imaging
95/100
The Neuphonix Mk2 was praised for luxurious soundstaging from the central listening position. The review also reports strong off-axis consistency, making it especially well suited to filling larger rooms rather than serving only one narrowly defined seat.
Dynamics
95/100
The speaker was said to invite live-sound listening levels, remaining free of audible overload or distortion when pushed hard. Its multi-woofer arrangement was also credited with helping to avoid thermal dynamic compression during demanding playback.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
86/100
What Hi-Fi notes that the Neuphonix Mk2 is Australian designed and built, which supports its upmarket positioning. The review provides little detailed comment on cabinet finish, internal construction, terminals or long-term durability.
Value for Money
94/100
At $7,195, the Neuphonix Mk2 occupies a serious premium-floorstander price point, but What Hi-Fi explicitly calls it remarkable value. That verdict is supported by its reference-like upper-frequency air, powerful large-room performance and ability to play loudly without strain.

Manufacturer's Description — Krix
For the ultimate experience look no further. Delivering striking clarity and power, this 3-way design pairs with the matching Epicentrix Mk2 for the ultimate front soundstage.
A big sound for your biggest space, whether playing the latest blockbuster movie or an album to rock the room. The Neuphonix Mk2 can handle the power, cooly, calmly, without taking up too much space.
With a sculpted front baffle designed to improve clarity, the Neuphonix Mk2 is a 3-way design featuring four custom-designed 130mm bass drivers, each with oversized magnets.
An extensive crossover network – featuring only low tolerance, high grade components – beautifully matches the 130mm dedicated midrange and the high grade 26mm ring radiator tweeter, delivering an extended frequency response to 40kHz.
A scalloped grille subtly augments the acoustic benefits of the baffle and adds extra style to an already streamlined design, while there is also beauty from behind, with a brushed aluminium terminal plate and gold plated brass binding posts. Complete the look with your choice of premium cabinet finishes. Elegance is in the details.
