Kenwood M-7000S micro hi-fi system with internet radio and Spotify Connect review

The compact system with real network streaming — internet radio and Spotify Connect over Wi-Fi, which the rest of this shelf does without.

The bottom line The streaming compact system: Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth, which changes how it is used far more than its power figure does.

The distinction that matters on this shelf

Spotify Connect and internet radio over Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth. The device fetches the stream itself; the phone is a remote control that can leave the room. Every other compact system in this catalogue depends on a phone staying connected.

The power figure

2 × 30 W, stated per channel. The load is not given. In a bedroom or a kitchen that figure is ample — the limitation of a compact system is its speakers, not its amplifier.

The display

7.1 cm, colour, dimmable in stages. On a device that often lives in a bedroom, a display that can be turned down is a genuine feature and a common omission.

What it also has

CD, DAB+ and FM. That combination — a disc mechanism and network streaming in one box — is rarer than it sounds, and it suits a household with a collection and a subscription.

The caveat that applies to all streaming

Service support is a licensing agreement. Spotify Connect is named here, and what else runs, and for how long, depends on arrangements that outlive no specification sheet.

Questions people actually ask

What is Spotify Connect, exactly?

The device fetches the stream itself over Wi-Fi; the phone is only a remote. That means the music continues when the phone leaves the room or takes a call, which is the practical difference from Bluetooth.

Is 30 W per channel enough?

In a bedroom or kitchen, comfortably. Perceived loudness rises slowly with power, and a compact system's limitation is almost always its speakers rather than its amplifier.
