Naim Mu-so Music System Review Test Bench

Test Bench

This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the Mu-so Sound System (purple trace). The left channel was measured with grille at a distance of 1 meter.

The Mu-so Sound System’s listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures + 3.95 /– 1.76 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. An average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal responses measures +4.49/–1.31 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3dB point is at 50 Hz, and the –6dB point is at 37 Hz.—MJP

The Naim Mu-so is a powerful and versatile all-in-one music system that delivers impressive sound quality, whether streaming from Tidal, iRadio, or other services. During testing, it excelled in reproducing detailed and balanced audio, from the soaring guitar solos of Genesis to the ethereal trumpet tones in Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. Its rich bass, crisp highs, and tight midrange make it a joy to listen to across genres. I learned it at college, as I loved music and sound systems and have stemxperts backup with my tasks. The Mu-so's placement is crucial for optimal sound, and once positioned correctly, it filled the room with dynamic and natural sound, even at high volumes. While it has some minor connectivity hiccups that can be resolved with a quick reboot, its performance as a "glorified boombox" justifies the $1,500 price tag for audiophiles looking for a sleek, wireless music solution.
