A beautiful box of mixed feelings
I was extremely intrigued and excited having an opportunity to try out the Technics OTTAVA All-in-One Music System. Several years ago, as digital alternatives to physical media were just entering the mainstream, I had a cutting edge device I loved very much. Alas, a few factors sent it to the technology graveyard: 1. My living situation changed and I couldn't spare the space for an amplifier and nice speakers and 2. The CD player was the type that sucked in your disc...and one day it didn't give it back. So, like the rest of you, I've gotten by with playing music via my laptop, my phone to a Bluetooth speaker, or via my TV soundbar. Thanks to the relatively good quality of digital media, it was mildly satisfying. However, once an audiophile, always and audiophile. I had to get back to higher quality sources and playback hardware. The OTTAVA, let's start with this, is an elegant physicals piece of equipment. Markedly simple, but well-detailed. It has lovely front grille comprised of horizontal fins framing perforated metal. There's a small black window that is a blue-glowing LED screen displaying critical data. I wish this had been a true screen with graphics..and ideally touch. A mini-headphone input is the sole physical input on the front. The top of the case is a lovely, thick piece of stainless, with three mechanical buttons and 6 contact controls. The duality is baffling at first, but I ultimately grew to love the eccentricity. A simple rotating smoked cover for the CD player contrasts nicely with the metal case. I like that it's a drop-and-press type mechanism for CDs. Second only to a platter for stability in my experience. The back of the case is for all your other connections. Power, analog, optical, USB-A and LAN inputs, along with FM and AM antenna inputs OTA radio? Hey, we're equal opportunity for you musical enjoyment) because of course you can connect any Bluetooth source, AirPlay, and via Wifi: Spotify Connect, TIDAL, and internet radio. DNLA streaming supports all the expected file formats including FLAC, AIFF and ALAC up to 384/24, and AAC. Happy audiophile here. The remote is one of the largest I've seen in a decade. I don't really understand why. There's source selection, volume, dimmer, standard play controls and numerical keys. But to be honest, just get the app. It's far superior and makes Ottava a joy with which to listen. EQ controls, and the SpaceTune feature is best used that way. What is this SpaceTune of which you speak? It's a sophisticated feature that, with just a few user inputs, auto-adjusts the sound field for optimal (or at least improved) resolution. Why does this matter? Well, since this is an integrated system - amplifiers and speakers built-in you don't have all the flexibility of speaker placement...and you're probably going to put this beauty somewhere to be seen. A cool feature I haven't tried is this can be paired with Chromecast built-in speakers to build a multi-room experience. Wait that's not all! While that's true, go ahead at look up all the other features- ok one more, Google Assistant built-in. This is a music playback device after all. So let's talk music. I'm deeply mixed about my relationship with Ottava. Some music is really lovely. Diana Krall's CD- Live from Paris is beautiful. Diana and John Clayton are clear, rich and vibrant. The more digitally oriented Anomalie Metropole Part II (AAC/44.1 kHz) played via Bluetooth from my phone also fills your space and ears with delight. Sting's masterful Soul Cages (AAC/44.1 via Bluetooth/Amazon Music) is as moody as ever. On the other end of the spectrum, I've been disappointed with rock and alternative whether CD, Bluetooth or streamed via WiFi. Things get too muddy at times. Suddenly Ottava is just OK. I'm going to give it more time to tweak, but those should be the easy listens. Overall, if you want to have a bold, lovely piece of equipment out in the open. Go for it. If you want to have a multitude of audio sources, I don't know how you beat this. And if you're limited on space, same. For me, with a very picky ear, you really need beautifully recorded music for Ottava to shine.

Nice sound for a small package
I have never had a Technics product. Didn't know Panasonic dabbled in Audio. I am a bit of an audio snot – Sonos for the living room sound, Alpine for my Jeep, Sony for my head (ear buds and on the ear) I now have a home office and had really nothing for audio while I work and this sound system crossed my path so I took a chance. And I am impressed. The sound is fairly full, the forward speakers handle high and mid range sound and then surprise, the subwoofer built in handles the lows. And it handles them very well. Note this isn't something you want to turn up full blast, and for me that's okay. It's in my office and I don't need full blast. Set up was easy, plug it in, use the remote to set up most of the basic functions. Wifi needs to be set up through the google home app, which I partially use G-Home so I was able to get it set up and the firmware updates. Once that is all done, make sure you find the audio settings and change the “orientation” I have mine in a corner on a shelf so I used the corner audio setting which adjusts the sound appropriately. This system is really sleek looking and sits nicely on my shelf in the office, the front grille definitely is an attention grabber as I have had several people ask me what it is. The price point might be a pain for some, but if you want a great system that produces great sound, sometimes you gotta splurge.

All in one music system, worth the price tag
This is a SOLID piece of equipment. From the secure packaging and styrofoam wrapping, this sound system just feels as good as it sounds. PROs - CD player has a cool roll away over - Hooks up to bluetooth perfectly - Connects directly to Google Home app and controlled there -Sound is deep, bold, and crisp; it filled my entire downstairs open concept home; all rooms - Touch sensitive mode buttons - HUGE size, full remote control (less likely to get lost) - Ethernet port available for hardwired connection - Gave my Sunday night football watch parties the sound quality of a theater! CONs -TAC app works well.....MOST of the time - Price point is pretty steep (though it lives up to it) Yeah there is a reason this rig's con list is pretty minimal compared to the Pros....there are just so many. This can fill an entire home, connect to your television, connect to your device's bluetooth, or even the corresponding apps available to produce top quality sound. Then of course if you still use CDs, the CD player is simply excellent. All in all, this will pay for itsef over time.
