Great product!

The Node sounds amazing, the footprint is minimal, the price was great and the software is amazing. This is my third NAD/Bluesound product and I couldn't be happier. I paired the Node with a pair of KEF LS50W powered speakers. The sound is better than using the speakers with KEF's built in streaming. Highly recommend.

Like a teenage version of the Spektor 2s, in size and sound. Using them as the two rear speakers in a surround system, for my small space they're probably still a bit large but the receiver balances them and it's better to err on the big side. I'm waiting on some parts to actually use them as surrounds but listening to music they're big enough for an 11x15 ft space but not big enough to listen well from the room next to that.

Shipping from AF is fast but not always accurate. I originally was sent the wrong speaker color, but had only opened the Spektor 2s that came in the same shipment so didn't notice for a few days. The return process was simple and automated but there was no indication the replacement speakers were en route until they showed up. This time I checked right away and they were the right speakers though missing the feet and hook for wall mounting. Which AF is now probably shipping to me. Moral is, check the shipment right away so you don't lose time if there is some snafu.

I bought the refurbished Vault 2 instead of the 2i because the price was so attractive and the specs are nearly identical. It looks new. Copying 1tb of ALAC files took about 1.5 days but everything is working well. I use the digital coax out to feed my Yamaha RN602, which has a very good DAC.

The factory-refurbished Bluesound PULSE MINI 2i works great, and of course, sounds great. Very generous discount. What a great way to save on essentially a new item with original packaging. Thank you!

The team at audio factory is fantastic. I had a few minor operator issues during set up and the team responded immediately with suggestions as well as offering to exchange the Bluesound node. The system is now up and running flawlessly; couldn’t be happier.

Thanks to everyone at Audio Factory. Will definitely be buying in the future.

Received on time as expected,well packed.

As one who's been in the audio hobby for decades, I've been of the belief that amplifiers have to be back-breaking monsters w/ huge power supplies to sound good. Items like the Powernode are changing my mind. I've had this paired with two high-end monitors- KEF 201s and Paradigm S4s- and I'm pleasantly surprised with how good it sounds. Will it keep up with McIntosh mono blocks? Doubtful. But for the cost, sound and features I recommend trying one.

Super Dynamics. Works outside, and every room in the house. Looks real good. Easily carried by attached Leather strap. Fits in my Timbuk2 shoulder carry case.
24 hours of sound. 2 hours charge time. Go ahead and look for better sound for $279. Better value than any barrel shaped BT player that will play for a summer, then ready for trash. I am now very interested in the Dali line of Audiophile products. Thanks Audio Factory. I have wowed several friends with songs of their choosing. Very impressed.

Clear, balanced sound. What else does one want?
