The best reviews of April 2024: tested and approved by you

[…] We must thank Marantz for offering a more affordable version of the SA-10. […] Once you’ve broken in the SA-12 SE, you’ll be enchanted, provided that the recording, production and pressing are of good quality – and that’s something you can’t do without with a device of this class… This player deconstructs the message for better or for worse, while revealing the harmonic richness of the timbres, which remain warm. If we use the vocabulary of the different classes of amplification (A, B, AB), and the impact on the sound, we can say that this SA-12 SE offers a very fine result specific to class AB.

I’m really pleased with my purchase (€200 for 350 watts). You have to see it, or try it, to believe it. I myself had my doubts at first, but after trying the speaker outdoors, because indoors the windows would probably shatter, other more expensive brands don’t do any better in terms of power, even big brands like Sony, JBL and others. This Danish brand does a great job, I also have excellent floorstanding and Dolby Atmos speakers purchased from Son-Vidéo.com!

Discreet and aesthetically pleasing, easy connections, easy access to settings. The automatic power-on mode is a plus. In a 25m² room, with better than average acoustics (but still with room to improve), it undeniably helps to “ground” the music and make it more palpable. The midrange sounds less aggressive.

Overall, the sound is very pleasant and almost relaxing to listen to. Whenever we listen to these speakers, we quickly forget about analytical listening and let ourselves be carried away by the music. For example, the electric guitars (rock and even metal) are magnificent. It often makes me want to discover metal albums that I didn’t particularly want to listen to before. Surprisingly, the softness of the sound doesn’t remove its punch. […] In the end, ever since I got them, all I want to do is listen to my favorite albums again, and every time it’s a new discovery, as if I were listening to them for the first time!

I’ve been using these earbuds for a few weeks now, and I must say I’m really pleased with my purchase. They fit snugly in the ear, thanks to the different tips supplied, so there’s no need to worry about losing them as you move around. They’re comfortable, even after hours of listening, and the sound is top-notch. I’m also impressed by the battery life – it really holds up! The app is a real plus: it makes it super easy to customize the earbuds, whether you want to update the firmware, adjust the equalizer, program the touch controls or choose your favorite voice assistant. In short, I recommend them without hesitation.

A good, well-made product with an original open source software approach, enabling audio geeks to create their own home audio ecosystem with additional DIY devices on Raspberry. I really like its discreet and original aesthetic too. Highly recommended!

For video, the HDMI selector has the widest bandwidth available, and just look at the necessary radiator – it’s so hot, you’d think it was used for the amplification stages. No problems with HDCP standards on my various sources: 4K UHD Blu-ray player, x265 HD DVB-T TV tuner, Zappiti, R-volution or Zidoo players, PC computer for gaming, Internet TV box, etc. The sound is surprisingly clear and detailed, very transparent and very dynamic. An impression of power.
