What The Press Say

By definition, a successful system is one in which the whole exceeds the sum of its parts -all of its parts. As impressive as the N272 and NAP-300DR, the Sopra No.2 and the Sarum Super ARAY undoubtedly are individually, one thing that makes this system special is the way that used together they raise their collective game. But what it really delivers is access: access to the musical performance (the key to true audio performance), but also access to more performances.
Highly Recommended, it reached significantly beyond its class, almost to Audio Excellence territory.
