The first of the solutions that QUAD proposes in its Artera range for those who do not want to complicate their lives with multiple separate components when configuring a high-performance audio system, it combines in a single and elegant chassis a preamplifier, a power stage, a compact disc player, a “Hi-Res” compatible DAC section and aptX Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
The smallest of the bookshelf/stand-mount monitors in Sonus Faber 's Sonetto “collection” uses a 2-way, 2-speaker configuration with bass loading via a rectangular bass-reflex port – and therefore with laminar airflow, easier to control than that generated by a circular section port - located in the lower area of the front panel.
