In a word, mesmerizing. The sheer power that the A9 can deliver is absolutely incredible, and if placed in a well furnished room it could be hard to figure out where this incredible sound is coming from. I decided to put the A9 to the ultimate test for a house party I was having in my back garden. I had positioned the A9 towards the top end of the garden path, and when I turned up the volume the music could be heard in almost every corner. There was no distortion at all on the music even when I cranked the A9 up as high as it could go (without waking up half the neighborhood). The A9 certainly delivers on B&amp;O\u2019s promise of sheer audio performance packaged in a sleek enclosure.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was the final sound designer for the A9, so my job was deciding on its final tonal balance.
