Advance Paris does it differently and builds a real Class AB power stage with a linear power supply into the MyConnect 60, instead of the usual Class D budget solution – plus a proven Wolfson WM8740 converter. The result sounds like grown-up hi-fi, not a kitchen radio with ambitions. The trade press saw it similarly: hifitest.de crowned the MyConnect 60 a «worry-free package» in its 2020 test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete system that only needs speakers: the built-in CD drive, DAB+ and FM radio, internet radio via TuneIn, plus streaming from Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Qobuz – via app, AirPlay or Bluetooth.

On the amplifier side, 2 × 100 watts at 4 ohms stand ready, converted via a 32-bit ESS Sabre DAC up to 24 bit\/192 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWirelessly, you play directly from your phone, tablet or computer into the network.

On top of that there's HDMI ARC for the TV, an optical input, RCA and a phono MM input.

Both models bring the full MM\/MC phono input – vinyl and silver disc on one unit, which is unusual today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS 30.3 sounds clean, controlled and surprisingly big for a unit this height. From CD it plays direct and effortless, streamed in hi-res a touch airier. Distortion below 0.005 % and a signal-to-noise ratio above 95 dB aren't marketing figures, they're what you hear as calm between the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is missing on the source side: Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HighResAudio, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, UPnP, internet radio and Bluetooth 5.0. Your TV connects via HDMI ARC and controls the volume at the same time, and multiroom runs via AVM RoomConneXion. A subscription is never a requirement – CD, vinyl, web radio and files from a NAS are entirely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the AVM CS 30.3 right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone looking for an uncompromising but compact complete solution: one unit, a pair of speakers, done. Honestly: if you never insert a CD, you're paying here for a drive you don't need – then the AVM AS 30.3 is the same unit without the slot. And if you're filling very large rooms or a difficult speaker load, you're better served by the bigger Evolution or Ovation CS models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS 30.3 is the most compact honest complete system we've come across: streaming, CD and phono in one hand-built housing, without any of the three sources feeling like a concession.

The MP 3.3 pairs the X-STREAM Engine® with a Pure CD slot-in drive and a double-quad DAC, in which four ESS9028PRO converters per channel work in parallel. The preamp stays purely transistor-based, tuned for the utmost linearity and clarity – tubes and a viewing window in the lid, in this line-up, are reserved for the MP 5.3 alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull source variety with no extra box: HDMI ARC, one optical and one coaxial digital input each, plus a USB port for hard drives and sticks.

On the analog side you output via XLR or RCA, fixed or level-controlled as you choose; volume is controlled entirely in the analog domain.

Let's be honest: if you prefer the warmer tube-based sound, the MP 5.3 with its Tube Line Stage is the one for you. And if you listen a lot through headphones, factor in a separate headphone amp – there's no headphone jack here. The MP 3.3 is the transistor-precise, neutrally tuned variant, deliberately built that way rather than a stripped-down option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I control the volume on the MP 3.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Digitally you take in HDMI ARC plus one optical and one coaxial input each; on the analog side you output via XLR or RCA, fixed or level-controlled as you choose.

A Tube Line Stage with tubes made specially for AVM works in the preamp section, visible through the tinted glass window in the lid. It shapes the sound character with a warmer, more musical tone, while the digital section stays modern and versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the MP 5.3 and the MP 3.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the preamp: the MP 5.3 uses a tube line stage and is recognizable by its glass lid, while the MP 3.3 is purely transistor-based behind a closed aluminum lid and sounds neutral and precise. CD drive, double-quad DAC, streaming and connections are shared by both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the tubes need maintenance or replacement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAVM's own tubes in the Tube Line Stage are rated for around 20,000 hours of operation and are low-maintenance in everyday use. A replacement, if ever needed, is only due after a very long service life. If you have questions about this, our technician Mauri is always happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the MP 5.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the MP 5.3 has no headphone jack. You solve this with a separate headphone amp connected to the variable pre-out or the fixed line-out – which suits the tube character nicely anyway. We're happy to tell you which one fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Evolution MP 5.3 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause tube or transistor is a matter of taste that deserves proper advice – not a guess.

Ahead of it runs the same powerful digital section as in the MP 3.3: X-STREAM Engine®, Pure CD slot-in drive and a double-quad DAC with four ESS9028PRO converters per channel. It's built by hand at AVM in Malsch, Germany, with a burn-in period and repeated quality checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull connectivity with tube character: AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), Tidal Connect, HighResAudio and internet radio over LAN or Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth 5.0 – high-resolution up to 384 kHz \/ 32-bit and DSD256. Digitally you take in HDMI ARC plus one optical and one coaxial input each; on the analog side you output via XLR or RCA, fixed or level-controlled as you choose. The MP 5.3 controls volume entirely in the analog domain.

Let's be honest: if you listen uncompromisingly neutral or would rather save the extra cost, go for the MP 3.3 – technically closely related, just transistor-based and without the glass lid. And if you listen a lot through headphones, you'll need a separate headphone amp, since there's no headphone jack here.

You'll look for tubes here in vain, and that's by design: those sit in the sister model PAS 5.3, behind the glass panel in the lid.

Output runs via pre-outs in RCA and XLR, a fixed line-out and two digital outputs that can be level-controlled on request. Add to that a dedicated headphone amp, tone controls with parametric loudness, and a dimmable graphic display with proximity sensor. This version has its front and lid in brushed black aluminum.

On the way out there are pre-outs in RCA and XLR, a fixed line-out and two digital outputs that can optionally track the volume control. Add to that its own headphone amp, tone control with parametric loudness, and a dimmable graphic display with proximity sensor. This version has a brushed-aluminium silver front and the glass lid over the tubes.

It has no power amp and does not drive speakers directly – you need a power amp or active speakers behind it. In return it bundles streaming, vinyl and TV sound at a level you'd otherwise spread across three separate boxes, and adds tube warmth on top. If you're after a complete solution with speaker terminals, an integrated amp is the better fit.

AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Roon Ready, Bluetooth and internet radio are all on board; control runs via the free RC X app, and an infrared remote is available as an accessory on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn amplifier that doesn't push itself into the foreground: clear, powerful, spacious – and still relaxed after two hours. The phono input switches between MM (40 dB) and MC (60 dB), and you set the loading impedance via the included RCA plugs. Via HDMI ARC, the AS 2.3 takes over TV sound, and the headphone output sits on the front. Hand on heart: most gear towers in the living room could look exactly like this – which is to say, not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration AS 2.3 right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a serious stereo system but has no room for a rack – and for ambitious second systems. Straight talk: no CD drive. If you regularly load discs, its sibling CS 2.3 serves you better.

The front has a 3.5 mm jack output with 80 ohms output impedance. That's plenty for most models; for very low-impedance or particularly demanding headphones, we'll look together at whether a separate headphone amp helps more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a remote control come with the AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, none is included in the package. The AS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android, or directly on the unit. If you'd rather hold something in your hand, add the RC 3 infrared remote or the RC 9 with colour display as an optional accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the compact AS 2.3 also drive large speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Even though the chassis is Midi-sized: 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms, almost independent of impedance, are enough for the vast majority of floorstanding speakers.

The CS 2.3 has a slot-in drive on the front, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Amplifier, converter, streaming section and phono input are identical on both.

The bass reflex port sits on the rear, so bass quickly gets boomy right up against the wall. On stands or a free shelf with some air behind them, the speakers play most cleanly – we'll plan the right placement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size does this set suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall to medium living rooms. The compact Audition CB 2.3 play with surprising punch, and the amplifier's 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms leave plenty of headroom.

AVM doesn't include a remote control; control runs via the free RC X app. Speaker cable comes separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Cellini Chrome mean at AVM?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellini refers to the chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel. Technically it changes nothing: sound, connections and functions are identical to the other finishes. On the speakers, the cabinet stays in high-gloss black or white. The surcharge pays for handwork and looks – a deliberate choice for the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with no extra device needed. The Inspiration AS 2.3 has a full phono stage built in, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. You plug in the right loading resistance for your cartridge via the included RCA adapters. An external phono preamp is therefore unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much clearance from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few centimetres should do it. The bass reflex port sits at the rear, directly above the bi-wire terminal. If the speaker stands too close to the wall, the bass gets boomy and muddy. On stands with some air behind them, it plays most cleanly – we'll plan the placement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition set in Cellini Chrome from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a chrome front looks different in a brochure than in your own living room – and because the system has to fit your room and listening habits.

A 34-centimetre-wide electronics unit plus two compact bookshelf speakers add up to a full-fledged stereo system with streaming and turntable connection, without gear towers or cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set holds AVM's slimmest streaming integrated amplifier: 2 × 140 watts, an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M as converter and the in-house X-STREAM Engine – with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), TIDAL Connect, HighResAudio, web radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for your TV. A streaming subscription is an option here, not a condition – internet radio, network shares and vinyl work regardless. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges, something many compact devices don't even offer. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; the bass reflex port sits at the rear, so a little wall clearance does them good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a high-quality complete system for small to medium living rooms – and thanks to the phono input, for vinyl listeners too. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Inspiration AS 2.3 has no CD drive. If you play silver discs, go for the set with the Inspiration CS 2.3.

AVM doesn't offer a fully silver cabinet; the front baffle is also available chrome-plated at a surcharge. Paired with the silver amplifier, the silver front looks the most understated. We're happy to discuss beforehand what suits your room best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, directly. The phono input on the Inspiration AS 2.3 takes MM cartridges at 40 dB gain and MC cartridges at 60 dB, switched on the unit itself. You set the loading impedance via the included RCA plugs. You won't need a separate phono preamp for this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the set with the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the CD drive. The CS 2.3 has a slot-in drive on the front, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Amplifier, converter, streaming section and phono input are identical on both. If you play CDs, go for the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners do better with this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much clearance from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few centimetres should do it. The bass reflex port sits at the rear – too close to the wall and the bass turns thick instead of precise. On stands or a free shelf with some air behind them, the speakers play most cleanly. We'll plan the right placement for your room with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system is only as good as how well it's matched to your room – and that's exactly where our advice starts.

A streaming service is an option here, not a condition – CD, vinyl and internet radio also play without a subscription. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges – so you won't need an external phono stage. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter, whose bass reflex port sits on the rear – so they need some breathing room from the wall. At 4.5 kilograms each, they sit securely on any sturdy stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full-fledged complete system for small to medium living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Straight talk: if you never load a CD and only stream, the set built around the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 without a drive is cheaper. If you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense.

If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has an integrated slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, go for the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners do better with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. The chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel turns the electronics into a showpiece; the chassis behind it stays aluminium in silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause amplifier and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. Just 34 centimetres of slim, screwless electronics plus two compact speakers add up to a full-fledged stereo system with CD, streaming and turntable connection, without a gear tower or cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms from a Class D power amp, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and the in-house X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for your TV. A paid streaming subscription is never a requirement – CD, vinyl and internet radio work just as well without one. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges that makes an external phono stage unnecessary. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; their bass reflex port sits on the rear, so they like a little breathing room from the wall. At a light 4.5 kilograms each, they find their place equally well on stands or a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full-fledged complete system for small to medium living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Straight talk: you don't buy Cellini Chrome out of reason, but because the look is worth something to you – technically the electronics are identical to Black and Silver. If you never load a CD, the set built around the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 without a drive is cheaper.

A complete stereo system for CD, streaming and vinyl – all that's missing is speaker cable and your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. AVM ships the CS 2.3 without a hardware remote; it's controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android. If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Cellini Chrome finish mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCellini is AVM's refinement with a solid, chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel in place of the brushed aluminium fascia. The chassis behind it stays silver aluminium. Technically, the CS 2.3 is identical to the Black and Silver finishes – you choose by looks, not by sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. This set comes with the electronics in brushed silver aluminium, AVM's classic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy it as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing here is thrown together: the electronics and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. 34-centimetre-wide, screwless electronics plus two compact bookshelf speakers add up to a complete stereo system with CD, streaming and vinyl connectivity. No equipment rack required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts at 4 ohms from a Class D power stage, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and AVM's own X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for the TV. A streaming subscription is optional here – CD, vinyl and internet radio need none. Add to that a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges, so the turntable can be connected without an extra device. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; the bass-reflex port sits on the back, so they benefit from a bit of distance from the wall. At 4.5 kg per speaker, placement stays uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the set for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full, complete system for small to medium-sized living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Plain talk: if you never play a CD and stream exclusively, the set built around the drive-less AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 is the more affordable choice. If you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense. And if you want to fill a very large room, consider floorstanding speakers rather than bookshelf models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact complete system with no compromise on sources: a modern streaming amplifier with CD drive and phono, plus two neatly matched speakers, hand-built in Germany and set up in minutes.

The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, without an external phono stage.

That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass-reflex port sits on the back. Too close to the wall and the bass gets thick; too free-standing in the room and it can sound a touch lean. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has a built-in slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 does not. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, choose the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners get better value with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – and that's advice we give from experience.

The slot-in drive plays your discs, the switchable MM\/MC phono input takes the turntable, and via HDMI ARC the TV sound finally runs through the good system instead of the TV's own tiny speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz and Roon run natively, internet radio is built in – with no subscription required.

A hardware remote isn't included: the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories, ordered separately. There's no FM or DAB radio tuner, by the way – radio runs over the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: the CS 2.3 is for anyone who wants a full system in a small space – including CD and vinyl, not just streaming. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you stream exclusively from your phone and never play a disc, you're paying here for a drive you won't use – then the AS 2.3 is the more honest choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 is that rare kind of device that replaces an entire equipment rack without you noticing what's missing once the music starts.

A streaming subscription is optional, not required: CD, vinyl and web radio play with no ongoing cost. Control is via the free RC X app; a hardware remote is not included – the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories. The CS 2.3 has no FM or DAB tuner; radio comes from the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand on heart: you don't buy Cellini Chrom for rational reasons, but because the look is worth something to you. Technically this unit is identical to the black and silver versions. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you never insert a CD, the drive-less AS 2.3 is the more affordable option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn all-rounder that doesn't feel like a compromise – and in Cellini Chrom doesn't look like a purely functional device either.
