Scansonic Bluetooth speakers
Danish speaker brand Scansonic has entered the Bluetooth speaker market with its new M BTL series. The range comprises one standmount and two floorstanding models, all with wired analogue and digital connections as well as wireless aptX Bluetooth.
One speaker within each pair plays host to a built-in class A-B amplifier: 50W in the 2-way M-5 BTL standmount, 60W in the 2.5-way M-6 BTL floorstander and 80W in the 3-way M-9 BTL floorstander.
All three models use the same ribbon planar tweeter found in the MB series, and this is coupled with a paper-polypropylene 4.5in mid/bass driver cone. The M-5 has one of these drivers, while the floorstanders have two. The M-9 BTL also benefits from a 20cm side-mounted bass driver. The M BTL series speakers are available now for for £600, £1200 and £1800.
