Extremely complete, the RS250 is a product designed to bring audio streaming to any domestic space without the slightest formal complication, while ensuring a perfect adaptation to all types of decoration. To do this, it is compatible with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Chromecast, to which we must add the increasingly demanded Roon Ready approval as a result of the power it brings to the access and organization of music content without physical support. As befits a product signed by McIntosh , the RS250 houses within it engineering that lives up to the brand's reputation, starting with a very refined audio section. Specifically, it combines 650 watts of amplification with two 102x152mm bottom-firing woofers mounted in a dedicated enclosure and a front-facing system consisting of four 51mm inverted titanium dome midrange speakers and two 19mm titanium dome tweeters. To this we must add a control to fine-tune the bass response, and there is also a specific socket for connecting an external subwoofer. Regarding Bluetooth audio streaming, it should be noted that the RS250 uses version 5.0 of said format to guarantee compatibility with both the high bit rate AAC system and the superior Qualcomm aptX HD, the latter intended for specifically for listening to “Hi-Res” music.
