In brief
Best if you are looking for:
- a compact music + vinyl + TV system without an AV receiver: HDMI ARC, MM phono stage and a DAC in one box AI draft, under review
- two-way Bluetooth: aptX Adaptive from a phone and transmission to wireless headphones AI draft, under review
- 86–90 dB bookshelf speakers in rooms up to 20–25 m² at moderate volume (2 × 50 W into 8 Ω) AI draft, under review
- system growth: pre-out for an external power amplifier and a dedicated subwoofer output AI draft, under review
Keep in mind:
- a pre-order novelty with price on request: no reviews or specialist answers yet, so the sound character is unconfirmed AI draft, under review
- no spec table: warranty, box contents, remote, power consumption and trigger are not stated — ask a specialist AI draft, under review
- moderate current reserve (65 W into 4 Ω vs 50 into 8): for hard loads dipping below 4 Ω look at something more powerful AI draft, under review
- no network or USB input: streaming only via Bluetooth or an external streamer over optical/coax AI draft, under review

Sound profile
The profile appears after an Audiomania expert audition.
Sound character
Technical reference (no listening yet): a class-AB output stage with current feedback and HDAM-SA3 modules, a toroidal transformer and a linear power supply — the manufacturer stresses “detail, transparency and natural dynamics”. AI draft, under review[2]
Use scenarios
Suits:
- TV over HDMI ARC instead of a soundbar or AV receiver AI draft, under review
- vinyl with an MM cartridge, no external phono stage AI draft, under review
- a phone over aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, wireless headphones in the evening AI draft, under review
Less suited to:
- parties and open-plan rooms — 2 × 50/65 W with a moderate current reserve AI draft, under review
- network streaming — no network module, an external streamer is needed AI draft, under review
