As reviewed by Stereophile & Hi-Fi+

When it comes to high-end loudspeakers, performance alone isn’t enough—you need something that works well in real rooms, fits your space, and delivers sound that feels natural and immersive. That’s where the Amphion Krypton 3X stands out. Recently reviewed by both Stereophile and Hi-Fi+, the Krypton 3X continues to prove it’s not just a showpiece—it’s a serious listening tool built for everyday use by passionate music lovers.

Trusted Reviews from Leading Audiophile Publications

In its April 2025 review, Stereophile described the Krypton 3X as having “startlingly realistic imaging” and “breathtaking transparency.” That clarity is largely thanks to Amphion’s use of a rear-facing cardioid midrange driver and passive waveguide design, which dramatically reduces unwanted room reflections. This allows the Krypton 3X to perform beautifully even in spaces that haven’t been acoustically treated.

Meanwhile, Hi-Fi+ noted the speaker's “effortless scale” and “tight bass control,” pointing out that it delivers authority and weight without sounding bloated. It manages to present dynamic material with ease while still offering subtlety where it matters—whether that’s a softly played piano or the decay of a cymbal.

Main Benefits:

• Maintains accuracy and imaging even in untreated rooms

• Reduces room reflections for cleaner, clearer sound

• Delivers powerful yet controlled low-end response

• Performs well across all genres and styles of music
