    Yep they’re like an entire system in a speaker (with one small wireless breakout box). Pricey buggers though.

    Did you buy a pair of them or demoed them elsewhere?

    Bought them. Considering how much DACs, cables, subwoofer, etc. can cost I think price/performance is actually not bad.

    Yep agreed. The main problem is for the audio obsessed, being locked into 1 DAC and 1 amp (and class D at that) can be too restrictive. But if you love the sound and happy with the various sound profiles they offer, it certainly simplifies things.

    I'd heard of bass distortion being too high and some other minor things so I stayed away from the A500. Curious how the A700 fares there

    No bass issues, especially post room correction. Actually find the bass integration to be one of its strengths. Weakness is slight lack of midrange richness, probably due to DAC and class D
