Riverwood Acoustics The Muskoka Active Bookshelf Speakers – Pair

Historic, Artistic and Unparalleled

You don’t just hear the music with Riverwood Acoustics’ The Muskoka Active, you experience it!

A Work of Art in Acoustics

The Muskoka Active is one of their new Reference grade, audiophile bookshelf speakers that sings to the gods of acoustics. The ultra-dense 34-inch solid birch enclosure is made from historic old-growth timber reclaimed from Muskoka Region waterways.

This ultra-dense “Riverwood” imparts superior tone, and the intricate grain patterns and rich colour are breathtaking. The new Muskoka series Reference bookshelf sleek design is available in two configurations (active and passive) and was created by award-winning industry professionals with over 100 years of combined experience.

Handmade in Canada

Each stunning speaker is carefully handcrafted in the Ottawa Valley. They  prioritize using local sources with 78% of the build cost going to businesses or people within 500 kilometres of their production facility. Riverwood Acoustics has the utmost confidence in the quality of their products because they build in small batches and use local supply chains – Each item is backed by a limited lifetime warranty!

Take in the Splendor

The Muskoka Active is more than a great speaker. It’s a work of art that will be proudly displayed in your home for years to come. Each speaker’s history and story make it a truly unique conversation piece.

Superior Elements

Their 7″ audiophile grade mid-bass woofer is perfectly blended with their new Air Motion Tweeter to provide maximum soundstage with organic tonal sophistication. To ensure perfect detail resolution, these Reference Bookshelf speakers use their custom reference cross over network with impedance control. The Muskoka Active speakers have the only solid wood cabinet on the market that outperforms traditional MDF. The front panel has been reinforced with Riverwood Acoustics’ proprietary anchoring system to ensure zero baffle movement even during maximum music playback.

5.0 Active Bluetooth

The powered or active version systems include an internal high power dual channel 250W ultra-low distortion bookshelf level stereo configuration to fill the space with sound and style. The amplifier utilizes a modern ultra-low distortion Class D amplifier with a high resolution feedback network. The super-efficient and cool-running amplifier has dual audio source inputs with automatic switching technology for Bluetooth 5.0 with Apt-X technology or stereo RCA inputs for easy connection to an external device such as a turntable or CD player without the need for any additional components. This system’s design is so straightforward that no external remote control is required. Within seconds, you can set up, auto-connect and play stereo music!

The Data Doesn’t Lie

To create this remarkable audiophile grade speaker, Riverwood Acoustics’ engineering team used our full size anechoic chamber and audio precession analyzers. The high efficiency Reference grade speakers will fill any size room with clear undisturbed low, mid and high frequency detail.

NAD M10 V2 Masters BluOS Streaming Amplifier with Dolby Digital

The NAD M10 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is made for the way people listen to music today. The M10 V2 is based on the acclaimed BluOS multi-room music platform, which has integrated support for dozens of streaming services. You can queue up any music you want using the intuitive BluOS app, and hear it in glorious high fidelity through your favourite loudspeakers. The M10 V2 improves on its award-winning predecessor by adding a remote control, updated gain algorithms, and an easy upgrade path to Dolby Digital surround sound.

Just Add (More) Speakers

Like the original M10, the NAD M10 V2 exemplifies the “Just Add Speakers” revolution in hi-fi. But it takes that revolution a giant step further. Along with audiophile-grade speaker terminals, it has two independent subwoofer jacks, whose output settings are adjustable from the BluOS app. The M10 V2 adds Dolby Digital surround-sound decoding. Home-theatre fans can configure a pair of BluOS surround-enabled wireless speakers or amplifiers to play the surround channels, while the main speakers handle the front channels, so that the M10 V2 serves as the hub of a 4.1- or 4.2-channel Dolby Digital surround setup. The M10 V2 transmits the rear channels wirelessly, with very low latency, so you don’t have to run wires around your room to connect the surround speakers.

Complete Control

There are many ways to operate the NAD M10 V2. Use the BluOS app on a smartphone, tablet, or computer to cue up music from your favourite streaming service, or music stored on USB and network drives. Choose some songs from the Spotify or Tidal app on your computer or smart device, then shift playback to the M10 V2. Stream music to the M10 V2 from an iPhone, iPad, or iTunes library via AirPlay 2. Select music by voice using the Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant voice protocol. The M10 V2 is Roon Ready, so you can stream music from a Roon Core server. The M10 V2 can be integrated into Apple, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, and other home-automation systems, so you can control music playback, along with other home systems like lighting, shades, HVAC, and security. Use the supplied remote control to adjust volume, skip tracks, and activate preset commands. Or choose tracks, select sources, and adjust volume and other settings from the M10 V2’s touchscreen. In addition, the M10 V2 can learn commands from your favourite IR remote control.

The Power and the Glory

Created by the award-winning design firm DF-ID, the NAD M10 V2 features a solid brushed aluminum chassis, Gorilla Glass top and front panels, and a bright 7″ touchscreen, with purer colours and wider viewing angle than the screen on the original M10. Behind that gorgeous display lies a sonic powerhouse that delivers thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail. Based on the renowned nCore technology, the M10 V2’s Hybrid Digital amplifier is conservatively rated at 100 watts per channel. Its updated gain algorithms allow higher output levels with inefficient speakers. The subwoofer outputs also have higher gain, allowing for a wider range of subwoofer-main speaker combinations. The ESS Sabre DAC can accept streams up to 24-bit/192kHz. The M10 V2 can stream lossless and high-resolution audio from services such as Deezer, Qobuz, and Tidal; and has full MQA hardware decoding and rendering capability.

Room-Friendly

With its compact form factor and elegant minimalist design, the NAD M10 V2 will blend beautifully into any living space—not just visually, but sonically as well. Like the original M10, the M10 V2 has built-in Dirac Live Room Correction. Using the supplied calibrated microphone and intuitive Dirac app, you can correct peaks and dips caused by your room’s acoustics, up to 500Hz (a full-bandwidth version is available through Dirac). That way, you hear movie soundtracks and music as they were meant to be heard, free of anomalies caused by the listening environment. The M10 V2 can store up to five Dirac profiles for different listening positions, surround setups, or room conditions—for example whether the drapes are open or closed.

Thoroughly Modern

The NAD M10 V2 is the perfect amplifier for the Internet era. With the user-friendly BluOS app, you can play music from your favourite streaming service, as well as locally stored music. But the M10 V2 also plays nicely with external components. It has RCA analogue, optical and coaxial digital, HDMI eARC, and USB Type A inputs, for connecting disc players, game consoles, external drives, media adapters, flat-panel displays, and other components. It also features two-way apt-X HD Bluetooth. With the M10 V2, you can listen through wireless headphones, stereo loudspeakers, a surround-sound setup, or up to 63 BluOS-capable wireless speakers arrayed throughout your home. Hi-fi doesn’t get more modern than this.
