Naim Mu-so QB 2 wireless powered music speaker

A streaming speaker for audiophiles Naim Audio has upped their wireless music game with the redesigned Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation. This compact, cube-shaped speaker offers intuitive wireless streaming with app-based control from your smartphone or tablet. And when connected to your network via an Ethernet cable, it can play even higher-resolution music files than the original Mu-so Qb. That includes downloads from HDtracks , TIDAL's high-res Masters tier, and other streaming services. Listening notes from Crutchfield writer Eric Angevine "We recently set up a multi-zone system featuring Naim products in our Vendor Training Room, with the Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation as our featured Zone 1 player. Over the course of a week, Crutchfield employees were encouraged to test out the speaker's performance and ease of use, and I was there for some of the listening sessions. Several colleagues asked me 'Is it supposed to look like that?' as they examined the Qb's unique wrap-around grille. The answer is 'yes' - The Qb's attractive 3D 'wave' design is an intentional aesthetic choice, and one I rather like. First-time users were also rather enamored of the clever controls on top of the cube - the large round knob can be physically turned to raise or lower volume, and it's also a motion-sensitive touchscreen that displays more control buttons. But enough about the Qb's looks. It also sounds dynamite. The Qb was the smallest speaker we included in our demo, but it produced a rich, robust soundstage. If I were building a Naim multi-zone system at home, I'd probably use the Uniti Star in my living room, but the Qb would be ideal for placing in a bedroom or home office." - Eric Angevine, Crutchfield Copywriter Redesigned speakers for optimal performance The Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation features a pair of redesigned micro-fiber tweeters and midrange speakers. The speaker array is angled for full, spacious sound. The redesigned bass driver is reinforced by two passive radiators and optimized by
