Naim Mu-so Qb

A wireless speaker that looks the part and has plenty of power for a rowdy house party.

Outstanding build ; Feature-packed ; Big, bold sound ; Decent detail ; Strong rhythmic know-how

Bass a little rich at high volume ; Could have a touch more insight through the midrange

Thrilling, room-filling sound ; Superb design ; Versatility
