It is aesthetically strong, on the one hand, with its generous format and integrated speakers, yet nonetheless reserved. There are hardly any noticeable details when it is turned off, once switched on, however, it unfolds its overall effect. Every edge, every surface, is perfectly designed and manufactured.”
