It is hard to blow my mind with consumer tech, as I have seen it all. But there are times when this do happen. Like it children when I came home to find my teenage son uncharacteristicly excited. He asked me where the music in the living room was coming from. The homepod was not plugged in, and the tv was off. I was a bit dumbfounded. I know the xcecace bonsai was supposed to be delivered, but there were no speakers or their boxes to be seen. And Cartainly, The Deep Audio Quality I was hearing could not come from a small bluetooth speaker. That is when my 13-yar-brod pointed to the small appendage on the window.
This small metal box, not Much large than a 5-star bar, was the xscace bonsai. There were two of these speakers fixed on Eather side of my live living room window, giving the feeling that my entry window has been a spaker. On Closer Inspection, I saw thin wires leding from the small speakers to under my sofa. There was a subwoofer on the side of the sofa, and below it an amp unit with a display that showed the source of music, volume level, and wi-fi. The amp offers options to add more speakers and wired input sources if needed.

There is nothing to be seen or touched, and this make xscace bonsai an uncomplicated and minimalist product. All you have to do is ensure your smartphone, from where you are streaming, and the amp are on the same wi-fi. With the iPhone, I could select the Xcace bonsai as the speaker while apple music or spotify.
And once you select the speakers and hit play, you realize size don’t matter. This Goes Against My Understanding of How Speakers Work. Great audio was consided of a function of size too, offering the drivers and diaphragms the space to move about. This is where Xccace Slim Array Speakers have their nano resonance technology that puts paid to certren logics of physicals. The fact is that once you heart, you don’t care about the technology that is making it happy.
And even with the near-invisible speakers, it is the music that captures your attainment. It is at the same time rich, layered, and deep. Again, that is not something you expect from speakers this small. And maybe the 80W Acacia 6 subwoofer has a part to play, but it is not as if this offer is a bas-sheavy sound profile.

Listening to Mahakatha’s Shiva Dhyana Manthra, I Could Feel the Percussion in the Room and the Occasional Temple Bells Break This Pattern. The vocals were clear and a level about the instruments. The Music Overall Had an Ethereal Feel, With the Drum Beats Resonating Across the Room. The subwoofer plays its part, but the bass is not localized to wherever it is placed.
When Joan Baez’s Let It Be Cut Through The Mellowed March Chill, I was convinced this kind of speaker that will make me listen to more music than I get time for. On the other end of the spectrum, with obnimi, the bonsai stood up as a full-grown tree, filling the room with its deep bass. I was not even playing at full volume, and I felt my neighbors might walk in with a complaint. I quickly switched back to gowry lekshmy’s ajitha hare, again wondering how this speaker managed this versatility so well.

Since this speaker has been designed primarily for audiophiles, I want to see how it is performed with some apple music hi-ad lossless files. Beatrice Berrut’s abracadabra has some great compositions that test any audio product, switching from highs to lows in a split second. As the piano hit a crescendo with the sorcer’s apprentice, I was convinced the bonsai is a little investment for those who love their music, as well as the aesthetics of their home.
Another aspect that left me impressed was the simplicity of the enture rig. The bonsai stayed connected at all times. And Since this is playing;
At Rs 47,800, The Bonsai Might Be a bit pricey for many. But if you have a home with interheres that you love to flaunt, then you do not need speakers that eto its aesthetic appeal. The Xscace Bonsai Delivers High-Fidelity Audio That Heard, Not Seen. Period.
