Description
Key Features
Mighty Midrange
The combined cone area of the tweeter and twin 8″ papyrus midrange drivers totals 950 cm² — as much as seven times greater than typical designs. It moves air effortlessly, preserving micro-detail and musical nuance even at concert levels.
Cardioid Midrange Control
Amphion’s ingenious cardioid system minimizes side- and rear-wall reflections by up to 20 dB, allowing the Krypton 3X to deliver razor-sharp imaging and balanced tone in rooms where large speakers usually struggle.
Uniform Directivity WaveGuide™
Amphion’s proprietary WaveGuide™ precisely aligns the tweeter and midrange for time-aligned, phase-coherent reproduction. The result is uniform dispersion and consistent tonal balance throughout the listening space — imaging remains stable and lifelike even as you move around the room.
Hidden 10″ Woofer
A side-firing aluminum woofer with long-excursion design extends response to 21 Hz without compromising the cabinet’s graceful proportions — powerful, tight, and tuneful bass that completes the full-range experience.
Wide Dispersion Soundstage
“This wide dispersion sound is a function of both the drive units and the narrowness of the front baffle relative to the width of the tweeter Wave Guide™.
These unique properties are rarely found in combination — and certainly not across an entire range — suggesting amphion® really knows what it’s doing.”
— Stereophile Magazine

“The system these speakers were part of—an Esoteric N-05XD streamer feeding digital music to an Esoteric F-02 integrated amplifier, with Esprit cables connecting everything—sounded better than any other I heard during my three days at the Florida Audio Expo. It certainly produced the best playback of Bruce Cockburn’s “Pacing the Cage,” from his album The Charity of Night, that I’ve ever heard. I sat there slack-jawed as Cockburn materialized uncannily before me, his acoustic guitar and voice planted solidly on the soundstage with stunning realism.
Hyvönen played several other tracks he likes to use to showcase his speakers. I didn’t know these recordings enough to be able to tell whether the playback was as good as it could be, but they sounded fantastic. As I was about to leave, he approached me and remarked that he had never seen me linger in a listening room so long—I typically dart in and out, trying to visit as many exhibits as I can. This was different. I was so taken with the sound of the Krypton3X system, I just couldn’t bring myself to leave.”

“The Amphion Krypton3X offer a unique musical experience. While listening, I was constantly floating in a wonderful cloud of sound. On my musical journey, I discovered many facets in pieces that had previously escaped me. The warm and deep tuning is exactly to my taste –while the skillful arrangement of the drivers brings order to the variety of instruments.
Everything has its place and all the fine details are teased out of the material. Especially at normal listening volume, the Amphion Krypton3X deliver a sound that usually takes more power to achieve. For me, these are the ideal speakers for everyday music enjoyment. Unfortunately, they now have to move on and inspire others – so my cold coffee and I are left wistfully behind. Dieter Pfeil Lite Magazine Germany 2024

“The Berlin music scene is so great that I used to go out often to listen to live music. A side effect of the Amphion’s is now I find myself staying in more because I do not need to go out. If I’m not attending a concert at the Berlin Philharmonic, with its world-renowned acoustics, I can almost be sure I’ll have a better listening experience at home.” Martin Hakiel, Germany, Sept 2023
