{"product_id":"hifi-set-avm-inspiration-as-2-3-audition-cb-2-3-silber","title":"AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition CB 2.3 HiFi Set, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 + Audition CB 2.3 HiFi set is a matched stereo system consisting of the compact AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 streaming integrated amplifier in Silver and a pair of AVM Audition CB 2.3 bookshelf speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Silver, the combination looks classic and uncluttered. Amplifier and speakers come from the same factory in Malsch and are voiced to match each other. All you need is speaker cable and your music, streamed or from a turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the matching work is already done: amplifier and speakers come from the same workshop – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. 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. And if you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense – a set where you don't need half of it isn't a saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is the lean, honest entry into a genuine AVM system: a modern streaming amplifier with phono plus two cleanly matched speakers, handmade in Germany, set up in minutes – in Silver, a timeless appearance. Which placement sounds best in your room is something we're happy to work out together with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil – by phone, email or WhatsApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the trade press says about the amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference class, 5 out of 5 stars – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hifitest.de\/test\/vollverstaerker\/avm-inspiration-as-23-21870\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eHiFi Test, issue 10\/2022\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall verdict \"Highlight\", reference class – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lite-magazin.de\/2022\/07\/avm-inspiration-as-2-3-premium-streaming-in-der-kompaktklasse\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003elite-magazin, 07\/2022\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighest test award, luxury-class streaming amplifier – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.areadvd.de\/tests\/test-avm-inspiration-as-2-3-streamingfaehiger-vollverstaerker-in-edler-optik-und-mit-bester-technik\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eAREA DVD, 16.08.2022\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier: AVM Inspiration AS 2.3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streaming integrated amplifier (compact, no CD drive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 140 W (1% THD, 4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eD\/A converter:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming:\u003c\/strong\u003e AVM X-STREAM Engine, PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32-bit, DSD256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming services:\u003c\/strong\u003e AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HighResAudio, internet radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM (40 dB) \/ MC (60 dB) switchable, loading impedance via RCA plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.0 LE (A2DP, AVRCP 1.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e LAN 100 Mbit\/s, Wi-Fi 2.4 \/ 5 GHz (802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × HDMI ARC (192 kHz\/24-bit), 1 × S\/PDIF coaxial (192 kHz\/24-bit), 1 × optical (96 kHz\/24-bit), 1 × USB-A (storage devices only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × line-level RCA, 1 × phono RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e speaker terminals, pre-out (470 Ω), line-out (47 Ω), digital coaxial\/optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e pre-out adjustable, line-out fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes, 3.5 mm jack on the front (80 Ω output impedance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e RC X app (iOS\/Android), dimmable display with proximity sensor; RC 3 and RC 9 remotes available as options, not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e under 16 W idle, under 2 W network standby, under 0.5 W standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier dimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 340 × 92 × 325 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers: AVM Audition CB 2.3 (pair)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex, bookshelf speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer, 30 mm fabric dome tweeter, crossover frequency 1850 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBass reflex port:\u003c\/strong\u003e on the rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37 Hz – 50 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Ω (minimum 3.6 Ω at 240 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower handling \/ max.

AVM doesn't include a remote control – control runs via the free RC X app. You'll get speaker cable separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour do the speakers come in with the silver amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a high-gloss cabinet in black or white and a silver front baffle. 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.
