Weight 6.5 kg What reviewers say Reviewers agree it sounds rich, detailed and powerful and looks striking, with broad streaming support. Trusted Reviews and PCMag found the stereo separation less convincing than claimed, and PCMag and SoundGuys find it expensive; SoundGuys had setup problems and notes Alexa is the only voice assistant, and Trusted Reviews found it large and misses Chromecast.
