McIntosh RS250 Wireless Loudspeaker System (Trade-In)

Description

RS250 (Trade-In)

NB: This listing is for a trade-in unit, one available, great condition, boxed as new. Please contact our showroom for full dwtails. See main listing for RS250.

Similar to the mono version RS150 Wireless Loudspeaker, the stereo RS250 model is a stand-alone, complete wireless speaker solution.

A variety of casting technologies are integrated into the RS250, such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay2, Bluetooth, Chromecast, and Roon Ready. With all of these built-in technologies, you can easily stream to the RS250 from your smart devices.

A worthy successor to the RS200 Wireless Speaker System, the RS250 does not need a special control app; instead, it can conveniently be controlled directly from your favourite streaming apps that use compatible casting technologies.

Streaming Plus More

Created with streaming music in mind, the RS250 includes virtually everything you need to enjoy music streamed from your handheld devices, online music services, or a local computer. And in a case of old meets new, a turntable can be easily connected via the dedicated phono input for listening to your vinyl collection.

You can even connect it to your TV for better sound performance when watching your favourite shows, movies, or sports.

Multiple Drivers

The RS250 offers a sizeable 650 Watts of total power that is delivered to two 4 x 6-inch woofers, four 2-inch midranges, and two 3/4-inch tweeters. The midranges and tweeters are front firing, while the woofers are down firing with the sound emanating from under the main chassis just above the base plate.

The woofer enclosure has been reengineered to reduce distortion, and a more user-friendly bass control has been added that can be used to fine tune the low-end performance. To enhance low frequencies even more, the wired subwoofer output can be used to connect an external powered subwoofer.

Better Than A Soundbar?

For improving the sound from your TV better than a soundbar can, the RS250 has an audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)1 input that connects to ARC compatible TVs.

ARC allows compatible TVs to send audio data to the RS250 via an HDMI cable, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable and making it easier to bring improved sound to your television viewing. For TVs that are not compatible with ARC, an optical input is included which can be used to connect it to the RS250.

TIDAL / Roon Ready

RS250 is compatible with TIDAL HiFi Lossless Quality playback (up to 1411 Kbps). It also supports file streaming of up to 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution digital music files.

Thanks to its built-in high-resolution streaming capabilities, the RS250 is also a Roon Ready endpoint device. Roon Ready network devices have Roon’s streaming technology built in, and are certified by Roon Labs to provide the highest level of quality and performance in network streaming.
