Review on πŸ”Š Yamaha WXA-50 MusicCast Wireless Amplifier for Streaming by Allison Utschig

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great compact amplifier with multiroom capability

I am writing this review mainly because I think this product is great and I need more advertising in the multiroom universe. It's perfect for people who want to build their own system but don't fall into the trap of a proprietary system (Sonos). Thing is powerful, I've tried it with the small Audioengine P4 and my main Bowers and Wilkins CM5, had no problems at all. I was particularly struck by the authority of the bass, especially its size. I used to have the NAD D 3020 and it scores in every respect with its diverse functionality. (Pre-Outs! Bluetooth send and receive) If I had criticism there would be 2, only 1 can be a real deal breaker for some.1. The highs can be a bit too high, but they can easily be balanced or paired with other speakers (the real beauty of this system, isn't it?)2. No headphone output (I'm not a big fan of headphones, but this may be an issue for some, especially in a desktop environment). Anyway, I love it and now I need to figure out how to get my hands on a matching WXC-50 preamp to bring my Sansui AU-919 into the modern age.

Pros
  • There's something in it
Cons
  • No insurance
