Reviewers from whathifi have found:
The SA-Z1 uses a D.A. Hybrid Amplifier Circuit, similar to that found inside Sony's TA-ZH1ES Signature Series headphone amplifier. Each speaker weighs in at a beefy 10.5kg with is made up from six aluminium plates. A remote control comes as part of the package – it's streamlined and minimalist with volume controls and buttons for switching input.
Pros
  • Sleek design
