Whatever the specific reason, the Airpulse A80’s internal parts are letting the rest of the speaker down. The standard audiophile template for what constitutes great value and speaker design has now been sent back to Rivendell to be remade into a new Flame of the West. Swedish manufacturer Monolit-Speakers make some interesting looking loudspeakers…made out of concrete. It’s not helped by the limited dynamic expression, either, or a lack of punch that has certain tracks labouring towards a finish rather than keeping us at the computer to hear a little something more.

Despite our frustrations with the remote, we are still relatively optimistic before sitting down to give the Airpulse A80 a proper listen, especially having heard an easy-going and generally polite temperament while they were running in. The PB-2000 Pro can’t be pushed that far past 5% THD above 20Hz even at the absolute maximum drive level. This means that as the voice coil moves in response to an input signal, the same length of voice coil is always immersed in the magnetic field that extends across the gap.If you want to keep your Airpulse A100 for 20 years, after you use it, you should close it from the button on the back (while it is opened - and you see the white led in front), not from remote, that way no electrical current will pass through it in standby mode ( it consumes 0. The Airpulse A100 come with a selection of cables, the remote, instructions etc and as a nice touch, a pair of white gloves and a cleaning cloth.

It also features an under-hung motor structure and a high-power neodymium motor for better bass and less distortion. The tone controls were perfect allowing you to give that bit of extra bass that is needed for the cinematic experience. Enter into the world of superior sound with the Airpulse A100 Active Speaker System from the legacy of Phil Jones. You need to give it some time to mature, and when it does, you can expect a full bodied, robust performance. Don’t get me wrong, the remote works well, but I’d really like to see something a touch more robust in the next iteration.A subwoofer output caters for those who covet more bass than is available from speakers of this size, too.

With a team of experienced engineers and designers, Airpulse has developed a range of active HiFi speakers such as the Airpulse A100 that feature built in amplifiers, Bluetooth receivers and digital to analogue converters. The Triangles offered fragility in the treble and provided more clarity and transparency in the mids.

Straightforward beats are slightly off-kilter, while it is something of a gamble to play anything approaching complexity. The Bluetooth audio receiver is built on Qualcomm’s Bluetooth chipset, which supports APT-X decoder, and offers a far better audio playback quality than what a traditional Bluetooth SBC codec can present. And finally, I found the LED indicator on the front panel that shines either blue or orange depending on which input is selected rather bright when bluetooth is selected. Please make sure the product is packaged correctly otherwise it may get damaged on its way back to us and we can't be liable for this damage. Its XMOS integrated USB function makes life much easier, you can play high-quality sound sources without compression and then enjoy lossless music by simply downloading and installing the software packages.

By the way, the A300 does come with a nice little remote that lets you toggle all the functions of the speaker to your heart’s content. The Bluetooth connection and the Qualcomm core let you enjoy any media resources at any space in your house. Moreover flat speakers do not sound the best for human ears, and that is why headphones with harman kardon curve for example may sound better than flat ones. The USB socket enables the A300 to connect directly to a computer and operate as a sound output device.

The cabinet work is from unusually thick and internally braced MDF panels, finished in lacquered wood veneer and satin black paint. Placed either side of the TV I connected them with an optical cable and they were immediately a hit. Even when correctly positioned, I found that I had to apply even pressure on this battery door to allow it to swivel clockwise to lock in the first place.

It isn’t the worst presentation we’ve heard in this regard, but it doesn’t leave the Airpulse A80 in particularly good stead when it comes to organisation.
