Sound quality: Audio Pro's A28 had very good overall sound quality - although it has some noticeable sonic quirks, this model reproduces music and dialog very well. Bass has good impact and goes deep but is a touch boomy, and the deep bass can be a bit prominent with some program material. Midrange is fairly even, but is a bit hazy, soft, and a touch etched. Treble is extended, but is a bit subdued, sizzly and the upper treble is a touch prominent. Does a good job of recovering room ambiance and is a bit congested. This model comes as a stereo pair, and its sound stage width and focus depends on how well it is placed. When it is well placed, there is good stereo separation and the sound field extends somewhat above and to the sides of the speakers but doesn't have depth. There is no significant difference between Bluetooth, WiFi, ARC, Aux (RCA) and Optical sound quality. Provides a decent volume level in a large sized room.
Ease of use: We found the Audio Pro A28 ease of use to be acceptable overall. Bluetooth setup: Unit is always in pairing mode when not already paired, has pairing mode indicator and indicates when pairing has occurred and never times out.
Wired Setup: The speaker wires provided are ready, of predefined length, tinned and split for screw mount posts (no tools required). Instructions are provided which explain to make sure to match polarity between speaker connections.
WiFI Setup: Setup requires an app downloaded to a device or device connection, easy but not intuitive - need instructions (may be included in app), may or may not involve inputting Wi-Fi network password.
DLNA Setup: There is no reference to DLNA in the instruction manual. DLNA was found in the app. Console lacks volume control. Source selections: Requires app to be installed, app installation is straight forward. Once app is installed switching between sources is fairly intuitive.
