Audio Pro Addon C10

[_Neal_]

Anyone have any experience with the Audio Pro Addon C10 (Mk2)? After a good all in one streaming speaker for the living room and have read good things.

I have a Gen 1 Naim Mu So (bought second hand) which is excellent, but can't justify the extra cost to go to Gen 2 of that or Gen 2 of the Mu So QB - WiFi on the Gen 1 is poor so my existing Mu So is hard wired, which isn't an option with this new speaker.

Any other recommendations gratefully received - no space or desire to run wires for separate speakers though so would need to be a single box unit. Budget (say) £400, new or second hand.

Many thanks!

Not C10s, but I have several C5As in my house in the UK and also in France. I also use C3s as garden speakers as they have batteries. I think sound and build quality are fantastic for the money. They also look really cool in grey!

Thanks, I'll do a bit more research then probably go for it!

I have 2 c10s and 2 c3s. They’re great and something I like to do is have 3 playing in the kitchen and one in the garden when we do barbecues etc. that was everyone either inside or outside can listen to the same music playing.

The c10s go loud too so they’re good for parties.

Top stuff, thanks!

I have a C10 & a C5 I have my c5 connected to a small 22' Samsung TV & my C10 is connected to a bigger Samsung & my Mac all within reachable distance so it's just a flick of a switch, both great speakers & I'd highly recommend them, Haven't seen or heard the MK 2 though.

I still prefer My Canton over the audio pro which is connected to my main Sony television.

Thanks! Do Canton make a wifi speaker?

Not as far as I know, I've had mine a good 7 years I reckon & when one is not buying it's hard to keep up tbh

there is no HDMI neither so it's all optical from the tv , there are loads on eBay at really good prices to chose from too.

Went for the C10 Mk 2 in the end as planned and very pleased so far - looks and sounds excellent (to my non-audiophile ear). Thanks all for your input, much appreciated!

I missed this thread at the time, but we've had a C10 Mk1 as a kitchen radio/streamer for a few years. I wouldn't say it's "HiFi", but it sounds great and works very well in that context.

Glad to hear you like yours.

I have a couple of the Blutooth-only T3s for garage and garden use. Got them at a great price and i'm well impressed with the build & sound quality. I can only assume the rest of the range is even better.

Just spotted this thread as I was going to post a fairly similar question. We have a Mk1 Audio Pro Addon C10 in our living room and I'm very pleased with it. We're in the process of buying a holiday home in Norfolk and I was after something similar for there.

Are you still happy with the Mk2 (shame they have done away with the leather handle!)? Is there anything else similar I should be looking at as an alternative Bluetooth speaker for a fairly large open plan kitchen/living/dining room space (up to around £400 I guess as we've got to kit the whole place out!)?
