DENON HOME SERIES - EXPENSIVE BUT VALUE

Love them! I bought these because I ride my bike several times a week and I wanted my music to follow me when I got off the ground floor after cycling upstairs to clean myself. I have a Marantz receiver with HEOS and wanted to be able to connect my speakers and streaming receiver anywhere in the house. For this purpose it works perfectly. I just use the HEOS app on my phone and I can switch from one streaming service to another, music stored on my phone or a music server around the house. I bought 150, 250 and 350 and they all sound great. I wanted a speaker that would make my house sound like I was in a club and they did the job. What surprised me is that they also deliver great sound when I just need nice background music (jazz or classical). They fill the space. They can be thin and warm, or loud and powerful without distortion. Setup was easy and connecting to my wifi was pretty easy. The sound quality is excellent in my opinion. I started with 150s and wanted a little more bass. IMHO the 250s are a really good balance with lots of bass. I don't find them dirty like some reviewers have claimed. Some reviews have complained that they have too much bass and I agree that the bass is heavy on the 350. This can be adjusted in the EQ though and honestly I appreciate the bass in such a small speaker. I hid the 350 in the corner and it completely fills the room with music and its location is difficult to pinpoint. In my experience, the software is reliable. You can connect different speakers together and change combinations by pulling the speakers together. It works. I'm still playing around with this aspect of speaker/software functionality. I'm hoping to find that I can set up different combinations (using the same speakers, reusing different speakers in different groups), save them and choose from the saved list which combination I want to use at the moment. However, I'm not sure if this is possible. Overall I think these are great sounding, attractive and versatile speakers. They are expensive! But so far I'm very happy with them.

Pros
  • Shipped very quickly
Cons
  • Crumpled

Connectivity issues, not classical character
