#1

The system creates a tall, open soundstage with clearly elevated effects. Up-firing drivers remain effective even when speaker placement is less than ideal.

#2

The M90 produces unusually wide, deep, and tall staging for its size, especially over HDMI or optical and with careful placement.

#3

Height and width are standout qualities, creating a bigger, taller, more spacious soundstage than the cabinet suggests. The effect is best when the controls are used with restraint.

#4

The up-firing driver delivers a noticeably taller presentation than the cabinet suggests and is a defining sonic advantage. Width is less consistent from a single speaker, but stereo pairing makes...

#5

The central image can appear slightly above the cabinets, adding believable vertical scale to vocals and instruments.

#6

One reviewer praised the soundstage height and width as extreme for a portable party speaker.

#7

The system creates a convincing vertical soundstage, though it still cannot fully match dedicated ceiling speakers.

#8

Soundstage height is inconsistent across rooms and material: some tests hear a tall, expansive field, while others find height and width too constrained without adjustment.

#9

There is no upward-firing hardware or Dolby Atmos support, so the Play does not deliver a true height-channel presentation.
