The A2 makes listening fun, regardless of whether he is right in front of, or somewhere in the corner, but also middle of the room, he manages to fill the room with music. One can herumbewgen to the speaker, also from behind (in truth there is no rear, since both sides have the same chassis features have exactly) or entirely from the side. The sound never such a büst, as with some other speakers, if you only slightly tilts his head to one side.
Striking definitely the very low-tuned bass, partly you can even hear below 50Hz which (contrary to techn. Data). However, the basses are not bloated unnatural, like many other manufacturers that like to do in order to disguise lack of depth, but really precise and deep and give the music the necessary foundation. The mid-range is verärbt something partly it sounds as if voices sung by a tube heights are against re-emphasized a bit more, which is why the A2 with really bissigeren recording mix can often seem a bit aggressive. For the treble response at 12kHz does not fall back downhill, but he really plays up in the top register, which will probably always hear the most senior semester of us barely. With me now is to soon time 16kHz conclusion as I have previously heard the still loosely 20kHz. Maybe that is why the clear treble boost, so that we old men noticed something from a game Beck Tony Williams, while twenty-somethings give rather Dr. Dre on their beatboxing.
But I must confess that even I liked likes electronic music, and just as one recognizes the limits of the A2. He sounds more dignified to half volume, it starts to be problematic about it. House-kicks ala TR909 like so not the A2. Unfortunately, not only present in the House genre, electronic drums are also used everywhere else, from Smooth Jazz to hit Mucke. But that the A2 is not clear, the kicks start to rumble and distorting. Funnily enough, it is not much worse the louder you turn, it simply begins at half volume on "zack" when you hear it once, you will soon look for it in every piece. Mir has all the fun pretty spoiled on listening to music. Would I hear jazz or acoustic folk, where rather little is happening in these frequency ranges, the problems would me probably not even noticed, but one wants to the speaker to get out to take in the nature and with a few buddies go off, the box wummert only unspeakably then , Alone this circumstance would have the pleasure to take the A2, but unfortunately is not all, because the battery life leaves much to be desired in truth. 24 hours promised, just under half volume I have met 14 hours at maximum volume 50 minutes, after which the A2 then the volume is automatically reduced again to half and then again makes about 50 minutes. Really skinny for a portable speaker, moreover since I can quickly load times on the road it is not because the A2 but needs its own krafvolles PSU.
Overall I was very torn between euphoria or disappointment, but now remain rather neutral in hindsight, because the A2 really provides great performance when you do not necessarily bring it to its limits, in other words: no house, no hip-hop and no high volumes. At B & O one loves it apparently dignified, and this shall be with me, so my search did not continue for something better. Mostly made me even the small Denon Envaya Mini considerably more impressed by less than 1/3 of the price, particularly as sovereign he bypasses at all volumes and with all sorts of genres. That such a performance from a Mikado-large jar is possible, I would have never thought possible. So corresponding performance from a book large speakers also should be possible. Perhaps B & O can not with a A3 or even late filing a DSP tweak firmware update.
You have perhaps noted that the processing is indeed a total top but the sides are made from cheap plastic else. According to the product photos, because I had expected more metal, but this wall plugs-gray works in Natura just a little off because I would tend almost even a green or black version. The fact that the A2 is very narrow, thereby stow also great, I see positive but really he is not stable. Out in the open in the grass, it is almost impossible to turn it off. A stronger breeze would probably suffice to overthrow him, perhaps also for the reason, the side parts made of plastic, so that they can be replaced quickly in case of damage. Spare parts for this purpose I have not yet discovered at B & O.
Definitely listen necessarily times! What much better sounding you will find what is probably not, therefore 4 stars, despite the weaknesses in detail.
