MartinLogan Crescendo X Review If you have your heart set on a single unit stereo wireless music system the Crescendo or new Crescendo X is a true hi-fi hybrid speaker single unit with distinctive sound, striking looks and setup seamless. This system is easy to live with and the clean design is presented in gloss black or walnut veneer and the enclosure sits atop a stylish aluminum stand. With so many Martin Logan touches that include its customized crossovers and intense sounding front firing woofer and two of company's high performance Folded Motion tweeter tech bundled together the system has astonishing sound quality that we highly recommend overall and particularly for a single enclosure music system. For those looking for one of the most realistic high frequency sound the Crescendo delivers in spades and will fill your room with an an exciting shine and clarity unique to Martin Logan's lovely tweeter design. ts clean front mounted controls and elegant remote control makes using the system an above average experience compared to some of the competition. We are also impressed with the speakers connectivity and its seven input methods including for a powered subwoofer. The Crescendo will cover you for any old source device or Bluetooth, AirPlay or home wireless streaming via DTS Play-Fi. We know even expensive tabletop speakers don't deliver great sound quality but the Crescendo Wireless is not your typical tabletop speaker. It is a breeze to use with exceptional bass performance and inspirational high frequency sound this system delivers where others do not. 4 Our Rating: Good for: Elegant single speaker solution Pros: Great 360 sound MartinLogan ribbon tweeter Bass Cons: Limited availability Warranty: Current price: $999.95 Buy this MartinLogan CRESXGBD - Crescendo X Wireless Speaker, Bluetooth and PlayFi - Gloss Black :

Bang & Olufsen B&O PLAY Beolit 15 Review This Scandinavian company exceed their "outputs" of knowledge, technology and creativity. And Bang & Olufsen audio lifestyle products are among the best. Small, Smart, Simple: The Beolit 15 features 240 watts of peak power for great sound along with USB-C smart charging and 24 hours of battery life so your party goes where you want it to. At its price point be guaranteed B&O uses only premium materials, anodized aluminum, leather and expensive components and a choice of thoughtful finishes. This tabletop or portable Bluetooth speaker features True360 Sound Technology and uses the Beoplay app. The app is more than great and incorporates some unique ways to tailor your music experience in a much different and engaging way than other apps we've used here at RYS. TONETOUCH is at the heart of the Beoplay app and it lets you tap, touch or slide a slick algorithm to tune the sound perfectly. Bottom line, it's easy, fun and intuitive to use. If you're looking for something with more oomph than the ultra-small Vifa Helsinki B&O could be your answer for a tabletop and 24 hour battery powered portable speaker. For overall sound quality the Beolit 15 was very close or equal to larger tabletop speakers like the B&W Zeppelin and the Martin Logan Crescendo.The B&O and sonically crushed all of the other cheaply covered low grade plastic and portables we had around. Overall, we liked how this small device created a huge spread of sound, has rich bass and pleasant highs. The quality and aesthetics are pleasing to the eye having either a masculine, feminine or neutral aluminum finishes that really stand out - and don't forget the lovely and useful leather strap. 4 Our Rating: Good for: Functional design

We've noticed that over the past few years the company is bringing forward some lifestyle decorator friendly audio systems that are also extraordinary sound machines. First, get your mind around a company that uses unique shapes and materials to satisfy your audiophile needs, and not wooden enclosures. The road well traveled by most audio outfits designing traditional bookshelf speakers has never ever been found in the research and development office of B&O. These unique products have always been the challenge at B&O when it comes to some in the audiophile crowd. The disregard from some is that these are hi-fi products where style matters over substance.
