  I'm doing a review for the first time just to share my experience. The speakers do play, yes, but. After a lot... iFi Audio Zen Blue V2 DAC has built-in speakers, but compared to this DAC, they are inferior. Focal CABER5 RCA cables (I used the 5m one), a good quality USB cable, and the Edifier T5 active woofer. I understand it's another output, but you won't believe how it sounds afterwards

  If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Amazing build quality and sound. Most of the other users have already mentioned that. From my side, I would like to add the following to the other comments:

  1. They soar with their own bases!

  2. Be careful the first time you play music via Bluetooth from your phone. Check the volume of your phone. Usually, when a phone is connected to corresponding speakers, the volume of the phone is set to maximum by default. The first time, it was set to the middle for me. And the speakers were cutting off in their volume. They only performed up to a mediocre level (like having a Ferrari and being limited to 70 km/h). To the point where you think you received a defective product. When I fixed that, the sound simply exploded in the house because it was sudden. This only happened the first time.

  3. They need a burn-in period at a moderately relaxed volume. Approximately 100 hours theoretically is good. Even at a moderate volume, though, it is enough to enjoy it.

  After years, I decided to replace my sound system. I started searching and when I realized that I would need at least 2,500-3,000 euros for something good (to start with), I hesitated and wondered what I really wanted and what needs I wanted to meet.
  I mainly wanted the speakers for music (not so much for movies or games), for a space of 35-40 square meters (living room-kitchen) and since it is a vacation home, I wanted to be able to easily move them to an outdoor space.
  I randomly came across self-powered speakers, which I admit I didn't know about, so the search started again from scratch. Which ones should I choose, at what price?
  I started reading reviews on Skroutz and watching videos with reviews on YouTube, where I found the channels DSAUDIO.review and Depo196, which have numerous audio comparisons between different self-powered speakers. After several listens (always with headphones to understand the differences), I concluded that the best ones for my ears were the Airpulse A300 or even better, the upgraded A300 Pro. And then comes the big question, are you willing to spend 1,100-1,600 euros, is this extra detail in sound worth it?
  I found my answer on the DSAUDIO channel, in the comments on one of the videos, someone asked the channel owner what he would choose between the A300 and the S3000 Pro, and he answered the S3000.
  I followed his advice and I am thrilled, I am not an expert but I love music and I enjoy it. The speakers are wonderful, the sound is clear and detailed, in some songs, if you close your eyes, you feel like the instruments are in the same space as you, it tempts you to increase the volume to the maximum (sorry to the neighbors or to those who won't be able to do it), no more amplifiers and subwoofers, the bass is there and it is powerful, definitely not for metal (and maybe for some rock songs I would have wanted a little more), but for all other genres, it's a pure pleasure. A test I did with a movie didn't satisfy me more than the soundbar I already have.
  So, if you have similar needs and budget (and if you find them in a good offer like I did at 612 euros), I recommend them, you will be completely satisfied.
  Sorry if I bored you, but I hope I helped some of you.

  5 stars for sound and construction!
  Good sound quality in low and high frequencies with clear and full sound. I mainly use them with Bluetooth and Spotify (it is important to have a device with Bluetooth 5.0), and sometimes with optical connection to the TV where you can't tell the difference in connectivity, they perform quite well and don't disconnect. I haven't connected them to a PC to give my opinion, but I believe they will perform equally well. The downside is the controller, which requires good aim as shown. They are not smart or Wi-Fi enabled, so you can't control them through an app, as stated in the specifications. Very good construction that resembles something expensive. I bought them for 750€ together with the stands... equally good!

  Many words are unnecessary. If you really want to listen to music and not just the speakers, these are top-notch. Like all speakers, they need proper setup and placement in the room.
  UPDATE: after 2 years of use, I would give 6 stars in the review if I could. Amazing build quality. Tremendous sound quality when listening to music, especially if you have good quality files. The unified space where I have the speakers is 50sqm and I easily throw parties!!
  And all this, for 700 euros, when in other well-known companies you would easily have to pay 1500 to 2000 euros.
  I hope I helped.

  Excellent build quality. Deep and full bass. I would like slightly better treble, but this is not a complaint. The remote control is average in terms of construction. I found them for 580, they are definitely worth it and more.

  Very clean sound and very good bass even at high volume to the point where you think there is a subwoofer. It is worth the money, the only drawback is the cheap quality of the remote control, in contrast to the impeccable quality of the speakers.

  I have had them for 6 months and their sound is full and crystal clear without distortions! The build quality is very good! Genuine high-quality wood that creates perfect sound. I use them with the iFi ZenDAC v2 for music playback from Tidal in Master quality and the result is incredible! Although expensive, I recommend them to anyone who wants quality sound!

  Pros:
  Sound quality
  Build quality
  Many ports and connectivity options.
  Balanced input
  AptX HD

  Cons:
  They are quite heavy (not necessarily a negative)
  The remote control is made of poor quality plastic, very fake.
  I would prefer LDAC support.

  I have had them for a year now since the previous black friday. I expected a price change for a long time because it is fixed at this price.

  In terms of construction quality, they are very good. The wood is solid and the frame is made of a single piece of metal. For experts, it achieves a smooth surface internally and has very good bass to the point where you look for where the woofer is hidden. Therefore, there is no issue of creaking over time.

  In terms of connectivity, it provides you with all the cables you may need from the beginning. Personally, I have connected my computer, turntable, TV/console, and mobile phone, and I can change them at any time with the remote control it has.

  In terms of sound, it is amazing!!! Even after a year, I sit and listen to music and smile, not believing that it produces this sound. I noticed an upgrade in vinyl records on the turntable. Also, gaming is great. Of course, it plays crystal clear even at 100% volume.

  WARNING!!!

  • It is not for people who simply want a lot of sound, but for those who want good sound.

  • It is not suitable for people living in an apartment without soundproofing because the sound intensity is as sweet as gas!!!

  Maybe the best sound I have ever heard in my life. It is so good that it forced me to buy the Audio Quest Forest, silver (0.5%), high-quality 2.0 USB cable (A male to B male) for connection to the PC.... extremely expensive, just to hear the difference in instrument metal.
  I thought I was just wasting my money.... which I don't have to spare, chasing a PLACEBO effect because of their price.
  How wrong I was.
  Truly, when you have the right source and correspondingly high-quality wiring.... the speakers send you to another planet.
  It is no coincidence that for almost 18 months, their price has not dropped by a SINGLE euro. Truly, their sound is a delight.... and it rivals the sound of €5,000 speakers.... I am not particularly involved in music and suddenly I found myself listening to music (and searching for high-quality audio files) almost every day. I don't know how to explain it in technical terms.
  If you want to do what we call "A good gift to myself" you won't regret it. This review was made while I have already owned the speakers for 12 months.

  The speakers were purchased on November 9, 2020 from an online store on Skroutz at a price of 587 euros.
  They are excellent to be used as a subwoofer for a television.
  Their bass is very powerful, clear, and crystal clear. For low and mid to low frequencies, they are excellent!!! However, their highs are practically nonexistent!! They are not suitable for listening to music!!
  When I listen to music from the speaker of my mobile, it sounds clearer and I can hear more instruments than when I listen to the same song from these speakers!! I don't know if I received defective speakers because the reviews I read before buying them don't mention anything like that.
  The sound is incredibly dull for medium to high frequencies.
  Before buying them, I had heard a few years ago in a department store playing music with the 2730 of the same company and they had made a very good impression on me

  You don't believe that they produce such sound. With their own foundations they are also beautiful, reminiscent of Chario/Sonus Faber.
  Tremendous connectivity capabilities, generally worth their money.
  Whoever has the money they ask for, goes ahead, simple things.

  I bought these speakers after noticing that all the reviewers only had good things to say, so I decided to spend a little more money to get something good and complete.

  I won't write a whole story, as most others have already said it, but:
  1. The speakers have amazing construction. They are heavy, sturdy, and obviously made with quality materials throughout, from the casing to the connectors.
  2. They communicate wirelessly with each other without needing to do anything. Of course, as self-powered speakers, they will need a power outlet for both since they have an amplifier.
  3. They have so many connection options that nothing else is needed (RCA, coaxial, optical, XLR, Bluetooth, USB). They have a built-in DAC that is quite good (192/24).
  4. Their sound is precise and crystal clear, but at the same time dynamic. Not dry. Everything sounds good, from mediocre quality YouTube music to high-resolution files. However, they have enough quality to notice a significant difference between compressed songs on Spotify and MQA on Tidal.
  5. They don't heat up.
  6. They don't have a subwoofer connection option. However, if I turn up the volume in a 30 sqm living room, the bass hits my chest from a distance, so I don't see the need.
  7. The package includes the speakers in bubble wrap inside a fabric bag, a beautiful and practical remote control (with play/pause, next, previous buttons that work for Bluetooth and USB connections), and all the cables (USB, optical, RCA) except for XLR.

  They are expensive, but they are worth every euro of their price. Truly no complaints.

  By the way, they have separate amplification for the woofers and tweeters.

  EDIT: After a year and a half of use, I have some things to add.
  1. The speakers are good for all kinds of music, but for my metalhead friends, if you don't want them to tire you, set the DSP to "classic," they become much more relaxed. "Dynamic" for everything else, but "classic" for metal and classical music.
  2. If you mainly listen to drum & bass, they are not ideal. No matter what settings I tried, I see that they need a subwoofer. If you get one that can be connected (e.g., something from Emotiva), and without needing a special output, then it's okay, but generally, it might be better to go for something else.
  3. The Bluetooth connection behaves strangely with some devices, but it's rare, so don't worry too much.
  4. If you connect them to a Windows computer and set the setting to 192kHz/24bit, make sure you have installed the drivers for XMOS audio; otherwise, something goes wrong, and the sound becomes awful.
  5. They haven't disappointed me in anything, not even a little bit. Excellent speakers.
