FULL STORY
======================================================================Audio 
Pro launches 10 new speakers with WiiM integration Redesigned app, better 
streaming support, multi-room, tweaked sound From 220 / 250, US pricing to 
follow 

Audio Pro has launched a new generation of speakers, and there's a lot of 
options. The W-generation range comes with an important app update that 
brings WiiM to the range, delivering expanded streaming support, advanced EQ 
and room correction, and enhanced multi-room and grouping capabilities. 

With speakers covering every conceivable option from small cylinders and 
stand-alone speakers to massively powerful floorstanders, there's something 
for everyone  and for every room. That makes the W-Generation a serious rival 
to Sonos as the best multi-room speakers , and Audio Pro is promising 
improved sound over previous models, too. (Image credit: Audio Pro) Audio Pro 
W-Generation speakers: key models and pricing 

Although the speakers here will look familiar if you know Audio Pro's range  
they've been harmonized, but retain their basic design  they sound different. 
That's because each model has been optimized for "greater clarity, lower 
distortion and a huge increase in loudness." 

For example, the flagship A48 W delivers a +10-15dB increase in maximum sound 
pressure and promises improved balanced mode radiator tweeter clarity. And 
the compact A15 W promises deeper, more compelling bass as well as longer 
battery life. 

Streaming support now includes Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, 
iHeartRadio, Napter, TuneIn and more, and there's enhanced Wi-Fi timing 
synchronization for more harmonious home audio. 

All of the W-Generation models are backward compatible with Audio Pro's 
existing products, so your existing speakers aren't obsolete in a multi-room 
setup.
