Our thoughts

One chassis takes on the TV, the stereo pair and multi-room streaming, so a receiver and a separate streamer can leave the rack.

Rated at 100W per channel into 8 ohms, it is designed to drive a stereo pair, while 80W across three channels lets the same unit feed a centre speaker in an LCR front. HDMI eARC carries the TV on a single cable, so the amplifier handles the soundtrack without a second box. Wireless Dolby Digital surround with BluOS Bonded Speaker Link is intended to bring rear channels in without cable runs through the room. It is Dirac Live Ready, but room correction arrives through a future software update and is not yet available.

It suits a living room where the TV and music share one system, or a multi-room home that wants hi-res streaming through BluOS, Roon Ready and AirPlay 2. Give the team a call to talk through how it suits your speakers, how it fits your existing sources and whether the timing of the Dirac update works for your plans.
