Classical, jazz, voices, and electronic music get a clean, spacious presentation from a pair of floorstanding speakers, a network music player, and separate control and amplification. It suits a medium living room and listeners who want accuracy without a warm color. The compromise is a little more equipment and setup than an integrated amplifier.

Lowest frequency response across the system’s components. Approximate — a component is excluded only when it declares an amplifier wattage without also declaring a sensitivity figure, so an amplifier that happens to report a sensitivity slips through and can pull the reading down.

Drive difficulty90.0 dB/W
99.0 dB/W85.0 dB/W

Speaker sensitivity normalised to 8 ohms. Approximate — we do not record whether a figure was quoted per watt or per 2.83 volts, so a non-8-ohm speaker can be out by up to 3 dB.
