Far from tiny
You can guess about the cool hardware of the speaker at a glance — its dimensions are quite impressive 212x374x172 mm, and its weight is almost 8 kg. For those to whom the Citation 500 will be too big, the manufacturer has provided a more compact model, the Citation 300 at 4 kg.
Oval shape, dense high-quality fabric with an admixture of wool, black or grey colours allow you to position the system in the premium segment. And we have not yet talked about her other qualities.

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Google Assistant (with Russian support), streaming services, Internet radio, an informative display on the top panel, all contribute to the comfort of use. And with the help of the speaker, you can control smart lights, thermostats, switches, cameras.
