Product description
Active wireless bookshelf with the Continuum mid-bass + Carbon Dome tweeter borrowed from the 700 Series, each driven by its own 125 W class-D amplifier (250 W total per speaker). The proprietary Mesh Network links the pair without any wire between them; streaming is via AirPlay 2, Bluetooth aptX HD, Spotify Connect and Roon, with an optical input as the only wired audio option.
