There are plenty of playback options here, and multi-room too
Can a one-box speaker really do it all? In recent years, a few brands have proved that, actually, they can – with products such as Naim’s Mu-so and the Sonus Faber Omnia among them.
Now, Audio Pro fancies dipping its toe into this market with the Audio Pro C20 – its biggest, most powerful and most impressively specified speaker to date. The C20 wants to do it all, across a range of wired and wireless inputs, to give you the ultimate flexibility in listening for less than £500. Lofty ambitions then; but does the C20 meet them?
The Audio Pro C20 is the company’s largest and most expensive one-box wireless speaker, and is the flagship speaker of its popular C-Series. At £450, it isn’t exactly cheap. But then rivals such as the Naim Mu-so 2 (around £899) or the Sonus Faber Omnia (£1599) offer similar functionality to the C20, but will cost you significantly more for the pleasure.
There will be performance differences here, of course, but for a one-box system, it’s a pretty competitive little package.
Minimalist look
The Audio Pro C20 looks a lot like every other Audio Pro wireless speaker that has come before it. It’s very neat and very Skandi – a simple rectangular box, with clean lines and very little in the way of flash or flourish. Minimalist fans rejoice.
