Not unless you could plug your headphones into your source?

Keith,
If using a preamp with built in phono stage or modules is it better to use the preamp outs (i.e including the output stage and volume control of the preamp) or take the output from the record out bypassing the volume control and use the volume control in the Kii3's?
If doing it this latter way and coming from RCA record outs (that are unbalanced) are the Kii3's in anyway problematic with an unbalanced to balanced (XLR) input using an adapter or correctly wired XLR plug? Hum, noise etc.

We have customers using both options. Choose whichever is most convenient, but if your turntable is your only analogue source then I would say connect your phono stage directly to the speakers.
Unbalanced RCA to XLR cables can pick up some noise over longer runs. Better shielding or careful cable routing might help. Only incorrectly wired cables will hum.
Zero hum and noise with this arrangement even with volume (with no record playing) much past normal highest listening levels.
Has Kii ever defined what the "wall" and "free standing" settings mean in terms of actual distance from the wall(s)? Corner is pretty obvious, the other two aren't.
Do you have access to a microphone FD, a quick measurement of left and right speaker with REW ( room EQ wizard) adjust then re-measure.Has Kii ever defined what the "wall" and "free standing" settings mean in terms of actual distance from the wall(s)? Corner is pretty obvious, the other two aren't.

Ultimately choose a balance you enjoy.
