Zvox Z-Base 575

Pros: Ordering. Delivery. Support. Set-up. Size. Sound. Ease of use. Joy of simplicity and sound. Soundstage.

Cons: It's taken this long in audio to get here!

Summary: After decades of audio hunting and being a devotee of the Kloss evolution, as well as the English sound, my reading led me to ZVOX. Intrigued by the back of the book page adverts in Sound and Vision offering reviews, I dug deeper to uncover the lineage and deeper reviews. After moving to a new city apartment with our six year old ultra curious for all things electronic son, an audio solution for our new 3D 9000 Samsung was needed. And today an audio solution means much more than better sound from tele. What with Pandora and all the rest, music is forever integrated within the evolved system. So it was ZVOX who offered an optical cable solution worth trying. Is it a replacement for a dedicated serious audio system? Like the Prius from Toyota is a replacement in reality for autos of the past, the ZVOX does more with less that only an enthusiast with unlimited space, budget and aural constraints would find lacking. The big ZVOX offers pleasures from simplicity to sound. And the only way to hear of ZVOX really is to hear ZVOX. It just works away, awaiting your pleasure as you tune the settings for whatever you are featuring, from TV, to Blue Ray, to 3D, to CD, to streaming, to the clouds, to radio, to music stored on drives. And the bonus of using ZVOX in conjunction with the Apple platform is the ability to have liner notes and even more with service such as Pandora. Simple made easy, the essence of greatness. Very well done by the Massachusetts Audio Mavens. Thanks again from all of us but especially our boy, who loves to dance but really loves the blue light that let's him know it's time for "big sound."
