Active speakers and network audio at the entry tier
Speakers with the amplifier built in, and small network audio devices. An active pair removes one box from a system and the choice that goes with it.
An active speaker cannot be upgraded by changing the amplifier, because the amplifier is inside it. That is a simplification when it works and a replacement when it fails.
Active pair · 320 W stated · Bluetooth 5.4 · DAB+ radio built in · wooden cabinets · LED
Active floorstanders with a DAB radio inside them — a complete music system in two cabinets, with no amplifier, no source and no shelf.
Best for: A room that wants music without any furniture — no rack, no amplifier, no source.
≈ 274 €
Internet radio · DAB tuner · Wi-Fi · Bluetooth · Spotify
An internet radio with a receiver's connections — which makes it a streamer for a household whose main use is radio rather than a music library.
Best for: A kitchen, a study or a second room where radio is the main use and streaming is a bonus.
