This speaker doesn't need any comment.
It is for demanding ears.
Its price is a bit high but its sound compensates for it.
Its base is incredible, the speaker doesn't move a millimeter when playing loudly, it has some kind of foam material installed and it makes it a train.
The speaker is amazing, I had the previous model without the base that it has today.
Crystal clear sound for demanding ears, very nice design and color.
There are not many words needed for this speaker, you simply have the orchestra inside your house. The only thing is that its price is very high, I found it in a reputable store for 649 euros, somewhat more reasonable price.
Very good sound, truly a beautiful speaker like a work of art, it will fit in any space.
Its intensity is above the average of its category and is aimed at demanding buyers.
However, its price is a bit steep, considering that you can buy something similar from competitors, slightly above the average price.
I have them for a year, bought at 699€. Many reviews have been written on foreign sites and I will focus only on a few basic ones. I tried it on all kinds of music and with all types of connections. The best way to connect is a) Spotify connect then b) airplay and network cable. In wireless mode, you need to have a good signal, it may cause slight delays in the commands you give or small cuts in the music, but it is purely a Wi-Fi signal issue. With Bluetooth, I noticed some harshness at very high frequencies, a "scratching" of the sound even in good recordings. However, the difference is very small.
Advantages
1. It is very beautiful. Your wife will agree to get it!
2. It is powerful. It fills a large living room of 70 sqm and the sound reaches a little above the middle of the iPad Air bar.
3. It sounds equally good at low volumes.
4. It has a balanced sound with prerequisites. It needs special attention to the space where it will be placed. Its sound from the back has a downward tilt and should be placed on a surface that absorbs vibrations or even better, have nothing behind and below the base. Also, it should have distance from the wall. I have placed it on a shelf with a small base of 20x20 and a height of 10 cm and I achieved the best acoustic capability. Someone who is a fan of more bass can easily acquire it by changing its position.
5. It sounds very good equally with not good recordings. Not with terrible ones though.
6. The sound is full, with body, sweetness. It is a monster of mid-low and mid frequencies with expressiveness for long listening sessions. The acoustic pieces sound amazing. Women's voices are relaxing and full. The frequency range is not large, but what it plays, it plays perfectly. Piano and guitar sound very good. Low bass.
Disadvantages
It is for the very demanding.
1. It lacks the explosiveness and dynamic range of frequencies. Hard Rock, heavy metal sound a bit dull.
2. The very high frequencies are missing or are rounded. A little more intense cymbals.
3. Expensive when I bought it. Now I see the price has dropped.
I recommend it for those who know what they want. It is better than a complete amplifier-speaker-dac system, but is it perfectly matched? Definitely not... but it comes close!
Update 14/11/2022: I see in the new model they improved the speaker base, it became higher which will help reduce vibrations at the placement point from low frequencies. They added bass treble eq
