Denon Home 600 Wireless Smart Speaker

The Denon Home 600 brings a rather more serious sense of scale to the wireless speaker idea. Its eight-driver array combines dual tweeters, 2.5-inch midrange woofers, dedicated 1-inch height speakers and built-in 6.5-inch subwoofers, with each driver powered by its own amplifier for precise control. The result is balanced, detailed sound with genuine impact, while Dolby Atmos Music adds a sense of height and spaciousness that makes the presentation feel considerably larger than the speaker itself. High-resolution music is supported over Wi-Fi from services including TIDAL, Qobuz and Amazon Music, while DSD and other lossless formats can be played from USB or NAS-connected devices.

As you would expect from a modern Denon, the Home 600 is also rather good at fitting into the way you actually live. HEOS provides straightforward control for streaming, grouping and multi-room listening, while Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, USB and an auxiliary input give you plenty of alternatives. Add a second Home speaker for wireless stereo, or combine the Home 600 with the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 and Home Subwoofer to create a wireless 5.1 system. It is an elegant, capable speaker that manages to bring proper hi-fi ambitions, Dolby Atmos immersion and the convenience of whole-home audio together without making the living room feel like a technology showroom.
