The speakers should not be too "micro," even in microsystems – as only adequate volume allows for balanced, wide-range sound. With the X-HM86D speakers, Pioneer has found the perfect size that fits into any shelf niche while still delivering serious HiFi sound. The speakers have been tuned by European specialists, are equipped with high-quality components, and meet elevated aesthetic standards. With the 65-watt amplifiers of the accompanying CD network receiver, they are capable of impressively mature sound. The stylish device, clad in brushed aluminum, includes not only a Class-D amplifier but also a CD player, DAB tuner, and Pioneer's new, fantastically versatile streaming unit. HiRes playback from a DLNA server is possible, as well as the use of streaming services like Spotify, Deezer, and Tidal; smartphone users will appreciate Bluetooth, AirPlay, and (after a free update) Google Cast. FireConnect will also be available via update – making the X-HM86D fully multi-room capable and allowing it to connect with other compatible devices to create a music network that spans the entire house.
