It’s a cool design, looks solidly built and it’s good that it has a manual pot volume control. So many bluetooth speakers use push buttons which provide no indication at which loudness setting it is at. i’ve got a very cheap “Soundlogic” bluetooth speaker that I once got surplus from co-worker and it’s got those nasty tack switches for the volume control. It’s always a guess at which loudness setting I left it at everytime I use it.
very good and informative video. I just didn't like that the backside overview came at the end instead of at the beginning. In addition, you could have given a more detailed overview of the specifications. About the bluethooth speaker: for me it is a volume control a must-have on any bluetooth speaker. Also, a pause, forward and back button would still be very useful, but not a must. In itself, I like it, the sound sounds very good even through the microphone camera and the stitched leather on the bluetooth speaker looks qualitatively not bad. However, it is with 650 dollars unfortunately much too expensive for me. However, it definitely looks like something higher quality. Beautiful video, beautiful speaker
for $650 one can build a high end amp (first wa†t, naim clone, quad clone, etc,) and buy a set of warfdales, kef, or klipsch, elac etc. and a bluetooth/dac that will bloooooooow that decorative box away. But as a portable device it is just overpriced, JBL makes great sounding affordable portable bluetooth, albeit without decorative panels.
So true, I have a Luxman amp and a pair of Polk Audio speakers which cost me less than that combined. Granted the amp was used, but the speakers were new when I bought them.
@@BilisNegra Yeah, I pick up broken stuff and repair and resell it just for fun and i could go on and on about the incredibly cheap and fantastic systems i rigged up over the years. I once bought a Linn Powertech on ebay for fifty bucks. That was pretty high end with rubycon black gate caps and perfectly matched transistor pairs, it sounded wonderful and a $3 thyristor was all it needed. Right now, at my desk i'm listening to Bowers and Wilkins DM602s i found in a pawn shop marked as broken because they had the biamping jumpers installed the wrong way on the binding posts. Bought them for $80 being driven by a technics amp i got for free and repaired last weekend. anywhoo, that and a hundred plus other midfi/high- end systems i bodged together never cost anywhere near $650
I don't think the manufacturer would have appreciated their speaker being torn apart in this video. I might do a teardown in the future, in a different video.
@@DrCassette That’s true, not typically. However…on your channel I would assume build quality, component quality and repairability is important and part of a review.
To me it seems like this brand so far has been active mostly on the domestic Chinese market. I guess the brand name sounds perfectly normal to a Chinese person...

The vintage guitar amp inspired design with exchangeable front panels is pretty cool.
They have a bullfighting panel, though... WTF?

It looks nice, but I miss a lot of treble. Yes, I'm listening through a good installation 😉
To my ears, there is just as much treble as I want to have :)
@@DrCassette of course that's good. I thought it sounded dull compared to your voice.
Nice looking speaker
A good review of a bluetooth derivative.
Unfortunate that the woofers aren’t ported, I have always assumed that bass-reflex ported speakers give better bass
There is plenty of bass, closed systems can sound quite good too.

It resembles my Coomber school CD player but with better sound quality 👍
No teardown, really?

@@DrCassette
How is this video a truly unbiased review, if you made the choice not to include a teardown because of manufacturer’s opinion?!
What does the one thing have to do with the other? Reviews don't typically contain a teardown...
@@DrCassette
That’s true, not typically. However…on your channel I would assume build quality, component quality and repairability is important and part of a review.
As I said above, if I do go through the trouble of disassembling the speaker, that will be enough content for a separate video.

That brand name sounds weird.

I wonder why this video has 14 dislikes already?
I don't know where you get this number from. As of now, the video has 22 likes and 3 dislikes.
Great to see the vids, but no more speaker vids for a bit please.
