So says David Vivian at Hi Fi Choice on reaching his Group Test Winner verdict on the System Audio Silverback 5.2 smart speaker system, including its WiSA hub. Beating famous names such as KEF, Sonus Faber and Linn to top spot in the June 23 issue, the Silverback 5.2 system has a “more luxurious, fleshed-out, muscular and ultimately balanced style of presentation than anything else in this active/wireless roundup. And that’s saying something.” He concludes that “the Legend 5.2 Silverback’s flexibility, tweakability and knockout sonics ensure that it excels where it really counts and delivers a sound-per-pound proposition that simply rewrites the rules in the sector. The System Audio is an unalloyed triumph…the most convincing reason yet to ditch the cables.”
