You guys really cover a lot of ground during the course of a year. Great work. I liked the Yamaha A-S3200, Decware Zen and Klipsch and Magnat speakers from your reviews. In fact I ordered the Yamaha A-S1200 because it is more my budget. Should arrive Tuesday. I like that it is all analog and won't have an out dated dac or version of bluetooth to deal with in the future. Also that I can switch the speakers off and use the pre amp out to feed my tube amp giving me flexibility. I also ordered the Decware Zkit1 kit version of the zen and will put that together after the first of the year.

My product of the year…… I am shy to say it…. ☺️ Dali Oberon 1, I bought it and enjoy it, together with another wonderful product you didn’t, may be not yet reviewed, the RME ADI-2 DAC FS…..

@SeanVedell 2 года назад

My nominees are the Kanto YU Passives and the Samsung Q950A sound bar. And the winner is….. The Samsung Q950A!! Your advice and reviews made me cancel an order for the Klipsch Cinema 1200 and am I ever glad I did. The Samsung is a relentless monster that’s got me seriously thinking about selling my main AVR system and replacing it with a second Samsung. The convenience and the full 11.1.4 Atmos system are a steal at its price. It only has two faults. The damned display on the top and not having the controls that display oversees on the app. Other than that, I love the thing. Bravo, Samsung.

@Slim2none1 2 года назад

My favorite product was Sony's HT-A9. Reason being, while looking for a new house and having to take into account room dimensions/layout with the HT-A9 none of that really matters. Set it up, and it just works. I'm also a diehard Sony fan so that plays a factor no doubt.

@sdemosi 2 года назад

The HTA9 gives a great experience to people who have neither the time nor inclination to learn how to research or set up a home theatre set of components properly. That's amazing really. Not everyone wants to put in the work and if they have the money it's the product for them.

@Slim2none1 2 года назад

I, for one, AM surprised by Kristis pick for product of the year!! So nice to hear a reviewer choose a budget minded product, purely on how it sounded! If we are going to encourage a new generation of audiophiles, we must have products that are VERY affordable to get them in to the hobby. I haven't heard them personally, but of the products that I have heard, that you guys compared them to, I can tell that they are something that WOULD appeal to new folks to the hobby! Thank you guys for all thst you do! I have taken your recommendations on some products, and I don't know what I would Do if I hadn't listened to your review of the Crown XLS drivecore amp...it just brought my Maggie's to life! Look forward to you guys with my Sundsy morning coffee. Thank you. God bless you both! Wishes for a prosperous New Year! Peace ✌

@ThePhilTorretto 2 года назад

There have been a couple “silver linings” in the COVID-19 cloud for me and getting into HiFi audio and finding this channel are 2 of them. Thank you Andrew AND Kristi (honestly I think I look forward to Kristi’s opinions as much as Andrew’s and her importance to this channel shouldn’t be under appreciated) for such thoughtful intelligent and honest reviews. My product of the year is absolutely the Beolab 28’s that I serendipitously got to demo in NYC last week. I wrote a lengthy comment on that video last week but I’ll just say those speakers were like none I’ve seen or heard and they literally moved my wife to tears. I often roll my eyes at audio gear that is cost of a used car but these speakers were such a revelation that my wife and I are actually considering buying them.

@KristiWright 2 года назад

As a resident of Kentucky, I'd like to thank you for using your platform to support the communities and families impacted by the tornados in Kentucky and surrounding states. My family was directly in the path of the storm, but thankfully it ran out of steam about 75-100 miles west of our home.

@aussierob7177 2 года назад

Speakers are probably the most diverse piece of equipment in an audio system. So, it all comes down to the type of colouration a person prefers, because all speakers add their own"sound" to the recorded signal.

I pre-ordered the Sony ht-a9 based on your review and I can say it totally transformed my enjoyment of watching movies and TV shows at home. Pair it with the A80J and the PS5 and it really has become an outstanding all around performer for gaming and movies. Keep doing what you do! Thanks for the great reviews this year, looking forward to many more in 2022!

@bblimediamostlyspeakers 2 года назад

I can see why you like the La Scala's so much. They are just that good. I've had the opportunity to hear them in a local movie theater which I did some repair work at. Three La Scalas for LCR, and four Heresy speakers for surrounds. Oh and also two double 15" Klipsch MWM horn loaded subwoofers. Talk about huge sound!

My product of the year is the KLH model 5. I’ve had them for a little over a month, and although they are probably a bit too big for the room they are the perfect look (I really considered the Linton’s but the KLH win on aesthetic - the walnut was worth the wait!) and the sound is so amazing. They just provide so much incredible sound in such an effortless way. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

My personal favorite product of the year, as a guy that didn't buy too many things that were released in 2021, is the iFi Zen Phono stage that replaced a comparably priced but not near as pleasant sounding preamp. Made every cartridge I threw at it sound markedly better. Super simple setup, lowered the sound floor, just clean and crisp. Great product for the price.

@NicholasFerrario 2 года назад

Thank you both for your reviews, they have been very helpful. You pushed me over the line earlier this year to get the wood finish Beosound Stage, and I really love it sonically and aesthetically. You kept calling it pleasant to use and listen, and it comes through. It feels like a Swiss army knife: not perfect at any one thing but it makes everything sound exceptional in its own, pleasant way. Now I need to look at Audiolab for my hifi setup...!

Product of my year is the Q Acoustics Concept 500. Yea you reviewed it last year but I bought them this year and I love them. Thanks for pointing me in their direction. PS. I’d love to see a Hegel review from you guys this year. Love to hear your thoughts

@pythagoras6938 2 года назад

The Q Acoustics Concept 500 are phenomenal. I listened to them 2 years ago and was so impressed (I think in combination with a Hegel amp). During Black Friday these were sold for 2900 Euro / 3300 USD a pair in Germany. I think its hard to get better sound for the money. I think next year I will buy them, too.

Man Andrew be looking to the side at Kristi the way I look at my cup of coffee at 7am. Hope one day to see her as well but we know the internet is a scary place, so I'm happy to simply have her opinions as the burgeoning (as opposed to recovering) audiophile! Great year for the channel!

@mitzy123 2 года назад

Hey Andrew, thanks for the amazing content in 2021. I'm always in awe of the in depth analysis you do on these products and how long it must take to write out a script. You and your wife are absolutely great at what you do and marriage goals! Wishing you both a much more successful 2022 ✌🏽

Watching this video on my 77" Sony OLED and my Sony HT-A9 surround system. Delighted with my purchase and I give this channel a lot of the credit. Thanks guys! Keep up the great work!

I love these guys. They're intelligent, insightful but still have a sense of fun. Andrew has the knowledge and delivery to ensure we're never left wanting. Kristi is the power behind the throne who chooses not to appear on screen but we have to respect her wishes. She collates all the information and provides the links to make it easy for us to seek out any reviewed products. I also love that despite not appearing on camera she provides her own opinion of the review in question. Sometimes Andrew and Kristi do not always agree but that's a good thing, as audio and visual products are very subjective and one persons like is another's dislike. Keep it up guys, your channel is superb, both subjectively and professionally.

I love this! Greats picks! Also I love the Audiolab 6000a Play You got me to buy 2 months ago.. 2 weeks later my Lintons showed up and I LOVE them! Glad to hear You do as well. I just rock Spotify all the time and it sounds so great to me, 320 kbps or not.

@murraycampbell1548 2 года назад

Thank you both so much! I am interested in you reviewing more Audiolab products, like their DAC and CD transport.

@eruilluvitar 2 года назад

Thanks so much for another spectacular year of reviews! I can't believe it's almost 2022, but to be fair I can't really believe it's 2021 either 😂 To answer your question though, my product of the year goes to the Audeze LCD-5 with the Dan Clark Audio Stealth as a close runner-up.

@dawidlelito 2 года назад

for me in this year was Audiolab 6000A play. Second player go for Anthem Mrx-1140

@efrensanchez1243 2 года назад

My two favorites are the AXR100 and Lintons, bought both this year and I’m impressed for the money I spend. Thanks for the reviews!

@luke78333 2 года назад

Love your reviews this year Andrew and Kristi, may there be many more to come. You've brought so much happiness to so many people's lives by directing us to the best products out there, so we can enjoy the music too! Merry Chrissy and hope the New Year is a happy one!

@brianh2476 2 года назад

Hi Kristi and Andrew thanks for a wonderful episode. Interestingly, I was able to pick quite a few alongside you. Have a blessed and enjoyable holiday 😊

@andrewrobinsonreviews 2 года назад

I was curious how many of our picks would be viewer picks too. Thanks so much for watching!

@jim010109 2 года назад

As far as product of the year. For me it would be the Klipsch Forte's . I dont even own a pair, but a friend of mine does, and those things absolutely rock. I would love to be able to afford a pair. Thank you for all the hard work you both put in. You do a fantastic job reviewing a product without drowning us in specs that only a engineer can understand, lol. Looking forward to next year. Keep up the awesome work, happy holidays!😎

@mansionman6162 Год назад

I bought the Cambridge AXR 100(off your recommendation)and Cambridge cd player and must say I enjoy them very much! I got the fluance xl8f also! I'm completely satisfied. I can't afford the big boy stuff but appreciate your reviews and live through you both! Thanks!

@jhford1234 2 года назад

Makes me happy to see the Q950A as soundbar of the year, as I went with it for my Christmas gift to me. Love the channel! Thanks for all the content as it really has helped me get into the hobby.

@freestylerjpartner6270 2 года назад

Best👌 honest review ever! The results were obvious in a fair way.

@dereknelson7108 2 года назад

absolutely wonderful video! I was honestly surprised to have seen the Linton's pop up here and am excited to see your review! Ever since getting the Denton 80th I fell in love with wharfedale's sound and I've been eyeing the Linton's as my eventual "endgame" speakers once I can afford them and have the space for them!

@Shoebutie Год назад

You do a great job with these best of year reviews. Direct and to the point

@JimboJason 2 года назад

Thanks for a great year of reviews! I love the quality and production value of these videos. My personal product of the year is the Emotiva B1+ bookshelf speakers, it's an amazing sounding speaker for $250.00 a pair!

@VintageVic93 2 года назад

A pair of Magnats, properly veneered, would be amazing! Looking forward to the McIntosh review! I love the previews.

@s.h.step6624 2 года назад

The absolute best, most complete and concise review you’ve ever done. Thank you.

@larssloth6220 2 года назад

My no.1 under 2000$ is the Lyngdorf TDAI 1120. It is amasing, and RoomPerfect makes a big difference. Not like other room calibration software.

@markwasilow2173 2 года назад

Andrew and Kristi, You guys are the best I have ever heard1! Kristi is very articulate! You guys make my day everytime! You guys are like an instant High! I want more everytime I hear you guys!

@willtothewong 2 года назад

One of my favorite channels!

@johnlangdon4338 Год назад

I've been trying to get a pair of Sonus Faber Lumina II's since your review (along with numerous similar reviews from others). Finally got an open box pair for $945 delivered. Worth every penny with my McIntosh MX130/Parasound A23. Thanks to you and Kristi for leading me to these. And a belated birthday wish to Kristi.

I was all ready to build a full Dolby Atmos system in my family room along with a 120" floor rising screen that I built into a window seat. I saw your review of the Samsung Q950A and asked myself if I really needed to go to the expense of tower fronts, a fancy AVR, running a bunch of in wall and ceiling speakers with a pair of large subwoofers? My living room already has a 2 channel rig with vinyl and digital sources, mono-blocks and towers. I had to opportunity to audition the Q950A for 60 days and I could return it no questions asked if it wasn't for me. I was blown away by how close that soundbar gets to "the real thing". I used to panic when a friend said they were considering a soundbar but having drank the KoolAid I continue to be very pleased.

Magnat Transpulis. Had never heard of it until your review and boy, you were right on the money with your thoughts and review. Kudos. Please keep ‘em coming. Much love to both of you from Columbus OH.

@andrewrobinsonreviews 2 года назад

So glad you’re enjoying them!

@KR2XD 2 года назад

Thank you both for such a great channel. My personal product of the year is the Klipsch RP-600M. I just got them from a Black Friday sale and love them. It is my mini La Scala for my small room. :)

@andrewrobinsonreviews 2 года назад

The 600Ms are great!

@joeltimothy8698 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, guys! Really enjoyed the banter, and of course the products mentioned. Thanks for helping me dive in a little deeper into this hobby, and get inspired. As to the QOTD: MB Quart QL C604 loudspeakers. I found these towers in a flea market here in Northwest Arkansas, brought them home, and then learned not only how fantastic they sound, but how incredibly rare they are. Made in Germany before MB Quart was bought out in 2006, these things are nearly impossible to find anywhere on the internet. So I think I scored quite well!

@owenroberts6572 2 года назад

Nice to see the audiolab 6000a play get an award 👌😎 When I get around to eventually using some speakers I know I’ll get a good sound 🤗

Andrew and Christy thank you for the fun, fun, fun review! So engaging! I smiled, laughed almost through the whole review. My personal favorite product of the year is the Emotiva amp and preamp. For under $1,000 best I’ve heard. I have them paired with the Klipsch Heresy IVs and love the combo. Thanks again for the fun review!
