TOTEM KIN PLAY UK LAUNCH - THE BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW 2019

The Totem KIN Play was announced in September and will have its UK launch at The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2019.

The new bookshelf speaker system, dubbed KIN Play, is a master/slave set-up equipped with Bluetooth connectivity. Totem KIN Play's left 'Master' speaker contains the amplifiers and connections. The right speaker is passive and powered by the master via a speaker cable.

According to Totem, the KIN Play is more than just another Bluetooth speaker. Contrary to what many audiophiles want to believe, Bluetooth connectivity has a broad appeal. Furthermore, these new speakers are sporting version 4.1 with aptX and aptX HD for up to 16 bits/48 kHz. However, for those that require a hardwired connection, you can also use the TOSLINK optical (24bit/192 kHz) and analogue inputs.

The analogue input has a selector switch to choose between an ordinary line input and phono for MM turntable cartridges. Bass-heads can also add a subwoofer via the Sub output.

The Totem KIN Play uses a powerful five-inch Customised Natural Hybrid woofer and a one-inch custom-made metal alloy dome tweeter. According to the manufacturer, the specified frequency range is between 50 Hz and 20 kHz. The built-in amplifier has a capacity of 2x120 watts.

The Totem KIN Play measures 180 x 355 x 235 millimetres. The active loudspeaker weighs 7.2 kilograms and the passive speaker 5.4 kilograms.

The KIN Play retails for £999 (incl. VAT).

You can find Totem Acoustic on the 4th Floor in room 426 of The Bristol Hi-Fi Show.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
