    I was in the market for a vintage stereo system for my new house's arcade room when I stumbled upon this video. It's like modern equipment with modern features and a vintage feel. I knew I had to have it! Of course, no one's received their stock yet, so I managed to buy the demo unit from a stereo store in TX. It is amazing! It has 1,000's of built in streaming radio stations for free or you can stream Spotify from your phone over the local network. I only wish it had a subwoofer output.

    That sounds like a great solution for a small space like an apartment or somewhere that you don't want cables laying around. People from Iowa are pretty cool. My grandpa moved from Iowa to Wisconsin, where I live, in the 1920s so I'm a bit Iowan at heart.

      It really does. I wish I could have one, but it's so expensive. I already have too many sound setups that sound way better that I've spent a fraction of the cost to build, so it would be really stupid of me to buy this. If it was gifted to me it would be one of my favorite audio devices ever. I'm too used to getting decade old amps and speakers that retailed for 2k+ for 40 bucks or less, so I'm would be really financially foolish for me to buy something like this at MSRP.

    To put this into perspective, Sonos Arc has 11 class D amplifiers. and 11 tweeters, drivers, and woofers. It is 800$. Samsung has the Q990C with 11 front facing tweeters/drivers, a 10" subwoofer, 2 three drive speakers that go in the back of the room. The total number of speakers is 24. And, that is $1300. But, they are comparing their product to old tech over ten years ago instead of new tech only a couple of years old or newer like the ones I cited? The Wave radio? What century are we in? Nice try.

      Especially with a piece like this. It's not intended for critical listening. It's a very fun stereo that sounds awesome. It's not going to compete with a traditional stereo system and shouldn't try to.

    I've seen way too many comments pretending that this is a good value that were favorited by Skylabs Audio. There's no way he's not smart enough to know why that's a red flag on a sponsored video. He knows how embarrassing it is to call a device like this that costs 1300 dollars a "steal", yet he's favorited comments that say as such. Very disappointing to see as a newcomer to this channel. He knows full well that nothing that can be bested so dramatically by less than 100 dollars of thrifting can be called a "steal". This is a very impressive device considering the form factor, and I'm sure within it's niche form factor it's not a terrible deal, but if you just need big audio it a small package, then you have to CHOOSE to want to get worse sound for more than double the cost by buying this device.

      @@skylabsaudio I respect you for reading my comment at least. I feel like I've misunderstood something, it's so weird to me that people think this is a good value. It's a terrible value as far as overall sound goes, and it's amazing to me that people think they can argue with that. But for devices of its size, it's probably pretty reasonable. Maybe I'm taking people's hyperbole too literally.

      As someone that sells stereo equipment, I have a secret. Everyone weighs sound, looks, functionality and price differently in their purchasing decisions. Think about how many people buy equipment online today without even hearing it. If it fits their decor and it sounds "good" most are happy. People that put sound at the absolute tip top of their list are rare.

      50 watts per channel/speaker or 14 channel/speakers is 700 watts.
