It's the model that first makes Advance Paris's tube-hybrid philosophy affordable for many – without sounding like an entry-level product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the A10 ClassicLine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the glass window on the front, real ECC81 tubes glow – and that's not mood lighting: the tube preamp gives voices and instruments a warmth and body that's hard to find elsewhere in this price class. At the same time, the powerful amp stage – trimmed for especially refined partial-load operation via the Hi-Bias switch when needed – delivers enough reserves for full-size floorstanding speakers. Preamp and power amp can be separated, in case you want to go your own way later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix analog RCA inputs, a balanced XLR input and an MM phono stage for your turntable – plus digital HDMI ARC for the TV, a second HDMI audio input, three optical and one coaxial input, and USB-B for your computer, all converted by the ESS 9018 DAC. Via USB-A, the A10 plays MP3 files straight from a stick. Two mono subwoofer outputs with low-pass filter, Rec-Out, two switchable speaker zones and VU meters with genuine stage presence round out the package. You can add Bluetooth as needed via the optional Advance dongle (X-FTB01\/X-FTB02) on the 5-volt output. A streaming subscription? You don't need one: vinyl, CD, TV and computer all play without any ongoing cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the A10 ClassicLine right for – and who isn't it right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: at 14.5 kilos and almost 39 centimeters deep, this isn't a device for a narrow wall shelf, and tubes want airflow, not a closed cabinet. If you're after everything in one box including network streaming, you're better served by the MyConnect family. And if you like listening on headphones in the evening, you should know: the A10 ClassicLine has no headphone jack – instead, a separate headphone amp connects to the Pre-Out. But if you want classic hi-fi with tube charm, plenty of power, and modern TV connectivity, you get remarkably much amplifier for the money here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A10 ClassicLine has for years been one of the most likeable ways into the tube-hybrid world – characterful, powerful and uncomplicated.

The ECC81 tubes shape the sound in the preamp – warm, vivid, with voices you feel you could reach out and touch – while the power stage with its 380 VA toroidal transformer keeps a firm grip even on power-hungry floorstanders. The icing on the cake is the High-Bias switch: it runs the first watts practically in Class A – audibly smoother at room volume, which is where most music-listening happens anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ESS Sabre 9018 converts PCM up to 24-bit\/192 kHz and DSD128 via USB.

Two switchable speaker zones, Pre-Out with separable power amp, Rec-Out, two subwoofer outputs and a 6.35mm headphone jack round out the package.

It's the flagship of the Classic Line series – the big brother of the A10, with more power, more connections, and the same glowing tubes behind the viewing window. The illuminated VU meters come along for free – it used to take a second device for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the A12 ClassicLine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it cleanly joins two worlds: the preamp works with selected tubes and brings warmth and richness to the sound, while the Class AB power stage delivers, with 2 × 280 watts into 4 ohms, the control that large speakers need. Two channel-separated toroidal transformers ensure stable power delivery, and with the High-Bias switch you raise the bias current toward Class A – for even more tube character whenever you're in the mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equipment goes far beyond a classic integrated amplifier: phono input for MM and MC cartridges, two balanced XLR inputs, five RCA inputs, three optical and three coaxial digital inputs each, AES\/EBU, USB-B for your computer, USB-A for MP3 files from a stick, plus an HDMI audio input and an HDMI ARC connection for the TV. Preamp and power amp can be separated, plus there's Pre-Out in RCA and XLR, Rec-Out, two subwoofer outputs, speaker zones A\/B and a 6.35mm headphone output. You can add Bluetooth as needed via the optional Advance dongle (X-FTB01\/X-FTB02).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the A12 ClassicLine right for – and who isn't it right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: the A12 is built for large rooms, demanding floorstanding speakers, and people who want to combine vinyl, CD, TV and streaming sources in one device. For a study with compact speakers it's overqualified – the A10 is entirely sufficient there, and your back will thank you when setting it up (17.9 kg).

Advance Paris thereby celebrates 30 years of brand history – and instead of anniversary wallpaper, you get substance: dual-mono construction with two 280 VA toroidal transformers, the ESS Sabre ES9039 flagship converter, and a good 18 kilos of honest weight.

The preamp works with two ECC81\/12AT7 tubes, and the power stage delivers 2 × 292 watts into 4 ohms.

Output happens via Pre-Out (RCA and XLR), Rec-Out, two subwoofer outputs and speaker zones A\/B – plus two headphone jacks (6.35 mm and 3.5 mm).

For a small bookshelf-speaker setup in the office, it's simply oversized – that would be like using a semi truck to pick up a croissant. And if you want built-in streaming, better look at the MyConnect or PlayStream series, or add a streamer.

At only 13.2 cm tall, it's the slimmest of the three APEX amplifiers – yet it still has the glowing ECC81 tubes behind the viewing window and the white VU meters. Understatement that glows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the A8 APEX?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe APEX series is Advance Paris's anniversary edition for its 30-year milestone: upgraded Classic Line technology with lower-noise power supplies and more precise voltage regulation, limited to black with white VU meters. In the A8, a tube preamp with two ECC81\/12AT7s works ahead of a Class AB power stage – and via the High-Bias switch you raise the bias current toward Class A. More tube richness at the push of a button, a feature that's anything but standard in this price class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its size, the A8 APEX is remarkably complete: the ESS Sabre 9018 DAC converts PCM up to 24-bit\/192 kHz and DSD up to DSD128 via USB, HDMI eARC brings TV sound into the stereo system, plus two coaxial and one optical input, seven RCA inputs, and a phono MM input for your turntable. Pre-Out, Sub-Out and Rec-Out cover the output side, the speaker terminals can be switched as Zone A\/B, and a 6.35mm headphone connection waits at the front. Bluetooth can be added optionally via an A-BTC module – none of it needs a subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the A8 APEX right for – and who isn't it right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: the A8 APEX suits compact and standard floorstanding speakers in normal living rooms perfectly – and anyone who wants a flat, elegant device rather than a monster. If you want to fill a 40-square-meter room with low-efficiency speakers, you're better off with the A10 or A12 APEX. And MC cartridge fans need an external phono stage – the A8 does MM from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes TV sound run through the A8 APEX?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI eARC. Connect the TV, control the volume with the TV remote, done – movies and shows simply sound more grown-up through real speakers than through any soundbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 76 watts enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most rooms and speakers: yes, easily. Wattage figures are overrated, current delivery is underrated – and that's where the 240 VA toroidal transformer scores. For very large rooms or difficult loads, we'll honestly advise you whether it should be the bigger brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A8 APEX brings tube charm, a modern DAC and eARC into a compact, limited housing – probably the most elegant way to enter the APEX world.

The A10 and A12 offer more power, with the A12 additionally featuring the ES9039 DAC, XLR inputs and Phono MM\/MC. For normal living rooms, the A8 is often the most sensible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the A8 APEX has a built-in phono input for MM cartridges – your turntable connects directly to the amplifier. Only for MC systems would you need an external phono stage. We're happy to work out which solution suits your turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the A8 APEX have streaming or Bluetooth built in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, not from the factory. You can add Bluetooth optionally via an A-BTC module; streaming is added via a network streamer at the digital input. Vinyl, CD and TV sound via eARC are of course enjoyed without a subscription or extra device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the High-Bias switch do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe High-Bias switch raises the power stage's bias current so it partly operates in Class A. The result is an even warmer, smoother sound – ideal for focused listening evenings. In everyday use you simply switch it back and save power and heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect two pairs of speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the A8 APEX's speaker terminals can be operated as Zone A and Zone B – say, living room and kitchen, individually or together. When running them in parallel, keep an eye on impedances; we're happy to work out which combination is uncritical for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the A8 APEX at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the question «A8, A10 or A12?» depends on your room and your speakers – and that's exactly what we help with.

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 60 is the specialist for normal living rooms, offices and holiday homes – there it performs big without overreaching.

Inside the X-i50BT works a toroidal transformer, the pre- and power-amp sections can be split apart, and the High Bias switch lets the first watts run in a near-Class-A fashion – that smooths out crossover distortion and makes even quiet listening fine and natural. The magazine hifitest.de put it simply: \u003cem\u003e\"The X-i50BT is the entry point into Advance Acoustic's amplifier world.\"\u003c\/em\u003e – praising the unusually generous input section in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's exactly the second argument: seven high-level inputs is simply unusual in this class.

The X-i50BT doesn't flatter anything and doesn't artificially push anything forward: voices come across direct and close, the treble stays clean rather than sharp, and the bass is on the lean, dry side rather than voluminous. With High Bias activated, the sound gains noticeably in smoothness at room volume.

Pure Class A throughout is offered within this family by the ABsolute model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the headphone output suitable for high-impedance models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in most cases. The dedicated Class A stage without negative feedback delivers 500 mW at 16 Ω, 1 W at 32 Ω and 120 mW at 300 Ω. That's comfortably enough for the vast majority of hi-fi headphones.

What it doesn't offer is the freedom to swap preamp and power amp separately. In exchange, you save one chassis, one power cable and a pair of interconnects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat connections does the Maestro Anniversary 2.0 have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive analogue high-level inputs: three RCA and two balanced XLR.

Instead of a potentiometer, precision resistors sit in the signal path, switched in stages by relays. The control stays fully analogue throughout — nothing converts to digital. You operate it via the rotary knob or the included aluminium remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes RR control sound different from a potentiometer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually yes, if the rest of the chain reveals it. A potentiometer's resistance curve shifts over the years and never tracks perfectly between channels; switched precision resistors don't. This is most audible at very low levels and in how stable the centre image stays between the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the RR version more powerful than the standard Maestro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the power output is identical: 150 W into 8 Ω, 300 W into 4 Ω, 500 W into 2 Ω.

It's built in Tuscany, and you can tell the moment you touch it: 14 millimetres of brushed aluminium on the front, 15.5 kilos on the scale, a volume knob that feels like a good tool. The black finish keeps a low visual profile and disappears into the rack — until you switch it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Puccini Anniversary?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it does the maths differently from most amplifiers its size. A 700 VA transformer and twelve output transistors — three complementary pairs per channel — deliver 80 W into 8 Ω, 160 W into 4 Ω and 300 W into 2 Ω. This doubling staircase is the real hallmark of quality — it shows the power supply keeps delivering even as your speakers' impedance drops. Volume doesn't run through a classic potentiometer but through an encoder driving four high-precision digital potentiometers — two per channel. A signal-to-noise ratio of around 110 dB keeps things quiet between the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl without harshness. The Puccini doesn't push the bass, it holds it firm; vocals stand free in the centre without anyone having touched the presence region.

In orchestral recordings and dense rock mixes, layering stays intact instead of collapsing into a blur — and that's exactly how you tell whether an amplifier has reserves or just spec-sheet numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Puccini Anniversary for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: if you want to fill a very large room with power-hungry floorstanding speakers, the bigger Maestro Anniversary with its 150 W into 8 Ω is the better fit. And anyone looking for a unit with streaming, a converter and phono already built in will search in vain here — the Puccini is deliberately pure analogue technology.

What matters here is less the room size than the efficiency and impedance curve of your speakers. Tell us your model and we'll place it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat connections does the Puccini Anniversary have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour unbalanced RCA inputs and one balanced XLR input, plus gold-plated binding posts for the speaker cables. Input impedance is 47 kΩ, sensitivity for rated power 490 mVrms.

The Maestro Anniversary delivers 150 W into 8 Ω, weighs 31 kg and measures 450 × 168 × 550 mm. The Puccini stays far more living-room-friendly at 15.5 kg and 445 × 120 × 390 mm. For most speakers, the Puccini is entirely sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre streaming, a converter or phono built in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Puccini Anniversary is a purely analogue integrated amplifier without a network module, without a digital-to-analogue converter and without a phono input.

In silver it shows what it's made of: 14 millimetres of brushed aluminium catches the light differently than a painted front, and its 15.5 kilos of live weight explain themselves the moment you lift it. A unit you notice without it shouting for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Puccini Anniversary?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the power supply sets the tone here. 700 VA of transformer capacity and twelve output transistors, three pairs per channel, add up to 80 W into 8 Ω, 160 W into 4 Ω and 300 W into 2 Ω — so power doubles with every halving of impedance, something not all amplifiers this size manage. Instead of a classic volume potentiometer, an encoder drives four precision digital potentiometers, two per channel. The result: exact channel tracking, even late at night at room volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, what doesn't happen. No hissing in the treble, no bloated upper bass, no audible strain when the music gets dense. The Puccini plays grounded and colourful at the same time: piano attacks keep their body, strings keep their bloom. At around 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio, there's genuine silence between the notes — a detail you only notice with quiet recordings and don't want to give up afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Puccini Anniversary for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: in very large rooms with impedance-critical floorstanding speakers, it's not the last word — that's where the Maestro Anniversary's territory begins, with its 150 W into 8 Ω. And anyone wanting everything in one unit, network and converter included, won't be happy with the Puccini. If instead you're after an honest analogue amplifier that stays the fixed point of a growing system for years, this is exactly right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Puccini Anniversary isn't a unit for the feature list, but one for everyday life: switch on, pick a source, listen.

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.

If you want to play CDs, choose its sibling Inspiration CS 2.3 with a slot-in drive, or connect a CD player to the coaxial or optical digital input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich D\/A converter does the AS 2.3 use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA selected ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M. Together with AVM's X-STREAM Engine, it covers PCM up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256. On the sockets: coaxial and HDMI ARC take 192 kHz\/24-bit, the optical input 96 kHz\/24-bit. An additional external converter adds nothing here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included with the AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, none is included in the box. The AS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android, plus the rotary control and proximity sensor on the unit. The RC 3 infrared remote and the RC 9 with colour display are available as accessories – we're happy to order one along with your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription for the AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Internet radio, Bluetooth, turntable, TV sound via HDMI ARC and music files from your home network all run at no ongoing cost. Services like Qobuz, TIDAL or Spotify are available if you want them, but you don't have to use them – the amplifier is complete without them too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the compact AS 2.3 also drive large speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms are delivered almost independent of impedance, so this Midi-sized chassis can drive full-size floorstanding speakers too. Where the limit lies depends on efficiency, impedance curve and room size – send us your speaker model and we'll place it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 in Cellini Chrome from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a chrome front looks different in a brochure than in your own living room – we'll help you judge that.

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. And if you want to fill a very large room with hard-to-drive floorstanders, look one series up in the AVM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AS 2.3 in silver is the understated version of a very self-assured device.

If you no longer play CDs, the AS 2.3 simply saves you one component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich resolutions does the AS 2.3 play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePCM up to 384 kHz and 32-bit, as well as DSD256, via the AVM X-STREAM Engine and the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M. Via the digital inputs: coaxial and HDMI ARC up to 192 kHz\/24-bit, optical up to 96 kHz\/24-bit.

The AS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android, or directly on the unit.

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.

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.

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\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.
