The Marantz MCR 60n Has a CD Player, a Phono Stage and HDMI eARC. Nothing Else We List Has All Three.
2026-09-09
The Marantz MCR 60n, a 1,000 dollar all-in-one with a front-loading CD tray, announced 8 September 2026
Marantz has announced the MCR 60n, a 1,000 dollar box with a CD tray, an MM phono stage, HDMI eARC and HEOS streaming in it. We list 297 stereo amplifiers. Six have a CD drive. Four pair that drive with a phono stage. Exactly one of those also takes an HDMI cable from your TV, and it is this one. It is also the cheapest amplifier we list that can run Dirac Live, by 600 dollars. Read More...

Kanto Replaced the TUK With Two Speakers. Neither Has the Phono Stage.
2026-09-09
The Kanto TUK G2 in the burl finish, photographed by Kanto next to a turntable it can no longer connect to directly
Kanto has replaced the 2019 TUK with two speakers: the TUK G2 at 899.99 dollars and the larger TUK Grand at 999.99. The drivers and the power are the same as before. What is gone is the built-in phono stage, which was one of the reasons people bought the TUK in the first place. Of the 130 powered speakers we list, 22 have one, and Kanto just went from three of them to two. Read More...

A Triode Switch Used to Start at 3,495 Dollars. The Cayin Jazz 70 Is 1,399.
2026-09-08
The Cayin Jazz 70, an EL34 push-pull valve integrated amplifier with a switchable triode and ultralinear mode
We hold 378 amplifiers. Fifteen are valve amplifiers, and six of those let you switch between triode and ultralinear operation. Until this week the cheapest of the six was 3,495 dollars. The Cayin Jazz 70 is 1,399, and it is also the first valve amplifier in the database with Bluetooth and a built-in DAC. So the question is what the switch actually buys you, and we can put a number on that. Read More...

A 1,499 Dollar 300B Amplifier, and What Ten Watts Can Actually Drive
2026-09-07
The Layer Audio Design Gen-300B, a single-ended Class A 300B integrated amplifier
We hold 375 amplifiers. Thirteen of them are valve amplifiers, and until this week every single one was push-pull, running EL34, KT88 or KT120 tubes. The Layer Audio Design Gen-300B is the first 300B in the database and the first single-ended design of any kind. It makes 10 watts. So the obvious question is what 10 watts can actually drive, and we can answer that one properly. Read More...

Triangle's Solstice Range Replaces the Esprit, and Every Cabinet Got Bigger
2026-09-07
The Triangle Solstice 3, the stand-mount that replaces the Comete
Triangle has replaced its long-running Esprit Ez series with a new range called Solstice, and all three models are now in our database. The headline is not the price. It is the size. Every Solstice cabinet is bigger than the Esprit model it replaces, and the floorstander is 73 percent bigger. Read More...

Yamaha's NX-70A Takes Our HDMI Speaker Count to 31, and 15 of Them Do eARC
2026-09-06
The Yamaha NX-70A, a two-way powered stereo system with HDMI eARC
Yamaha's first wireless speaker system in ten years is in our database this week. Adding it meant checking how many speakers we hold with an HDMI input, and the honest answer turned out to be that our own page was wrong. It said 24. It is 31, and 15 of those take eARC rather than plain ARC. Read More...

Five of the 294 Amplifiers We List Still Have a CD Player. None of the 113 Released Since 2023 Do.
2026-09-05
Stereo amplifiers with a CD drive, and what happened after 2023
I was counting amplifiers with built-in CD players this week and the number came out lower than I expected. Five, out of 294. Then I checked the dates, and none of the 113 amplifiers released since 2023 has one. On the same day, a British budget brand announced a brand new amplifier with a CD tray in it for 229.95 pounds.

KEF's New 250 Watt Amplifier Is a 135 Watt Amplifier When All Eight Channels Are Running
2026-09-05
The KEF Landscape P6Q outdoor system, which ships with a KASA 4-250M amplifier
KEF has announced four new KASA amplifiers for its first outdoor range. One of them is called the 8-250M and KEF rates it at 135 watts a channel with all eight channels running. The cheaper 8-150M is rated at the same 135. So the 700 dollars between them buys nothing you can hear with a full system playing. Read More...

Sonos Built an Eight-Channel Amp and Then Did the Rare Thing: Rated It With All Eight Running
2026-09-04
Sonos Amp Multi eight-channel multi-zone amplifier
Sonos has released a 3,500 dollar eight-channel amplifier. The interesting number is not the 125 watts a channel. It is the three words after it: all channels driven. Hardly any amplifier at this price is rated that way, and it makes the Amp Multi look worse on paper than rivals that are not. Read More...

Klipsch Reference Premiere III: Nine Models, Cheaper Than Gen II, and Two Centre Prices That Look Swapped
2026-09-04
Klipsch Reference Premiere III home cinema system in walnut
Klipsch has replaced the Reference Premiere range with a third generation. All nine models are in our database now. The interesting part is the pricing: five of them cost less than the Gen II model they replace, which almost nothing does in 2026. And two of them look like the prices got swapped. Read More...
