HiFi-Test 01/2021: “With its sparkling clean reproduction and linear frequency response, the AYERS Four collects plenty of plus points in the measurement laboratory. A clean bass reproduction starts at 50 Hertz and the high frequency reproduction extends well beyond 20 kHz, and the INKLANG shines with its perfect radiation behavior. [...]

In the listening test, the pair AYERS Four also delivers top performances, because the high-quality floor-standing speakers from INKLANG can inspire with their very handy, expansive and precise reproduction. The AYERS Four offer plenty of dynamic reserves and can not be tempted to discolouration or compression even at high volumes, but offer a very lively, fresh and finely detailed performance.

In addition to its excellent resolution, we particularly liked the precise, dust-dry and to-the-point bass reproduction."

Stereoplay 05/23: "Like all AYERS models we have heard so far, the Five feels most comfortable close to the wall even when the rear switch is set to free placement. But near the wall, it seems more balanced, more focused. It's hard not to talk about the truly terrific bass first. It's as if a very good subwoofer is running along, playing colorfully and expressively. It's simply a blast, although there's not an ounce too much on the ribs here (but thanks to tone controls, you can season to taste).

Voices are also a delight, the mid-treble unit satisfies connoisseurs and analysts alike, plays dynamically and with all attention to detail, suitable for the long term, even at somewhat higher levels. Despite the by no means too analytical tuning, one can also hear fine differences between phonoamps without any problems with the AYERS Five. No question: This trio is equally strong in terms of operation, design and sound. Hats off!

Summary: The AYERS Five Wireless in conjunction with the Hub HD 10 StreamConnect is an incredibly well thought-out, clever concept with a clear focus on digital signals, gladly from the streaming service of choice. Oh yeah, and it sounds great!"

Stereoplay 3/22: “INKLANG recommends the Ayers Four for rooms up to 35 square meters. We consider this statement to be true, because in the listening test the test person showed us that he could create a large stereo panorama that easily fills medium-sized rooms - and had the pleasant side effect that the listener could still hear quite well outside the "sweet spot".

On top of that, the test candidate skillfully restrained itself in the low frequency range to such an extent that its bass reproduction, which is not to be underestimated, does not immediately become a problem if it is positioned a bit closer in the direction of the rear or side wall. For music lovers who don't have an ideal listening room and don't want to redecorate the entire household for a new loudspeaker, this is a signal that is suitable for everyday use. However, a minimum distance of 15 to 20 centimeters to the limiting surfaces should be.

The INKLANG candidate worked, if you will, more from its plastic, airy and very lively midrange. In Beethoven's "Gassenhauertrio", in an early, but still very good sounding digital production with the Vienna Haydn Trio (Teldec), the listener got a very natural impression of the recording location and the exact seating arrangement of the trio.”

Stereoplay 09/2019: "We were pleased, a heartfelt sound, that had pressure, emotion and upscale linearity. Only a few bars have already convinced us: Here played a European floorstanding speaker of the highest class. [...] We streamed the new album by Ed Sheeran. The mix is noble, sophisticated, especially in 24 bits. Already in the introductory song "Beautiful People" it takes speed and presence - the basic rhythm is clapped, the vocal part appears in the middle of the picture. Since a speaker must be fast and yet elegantly unobtrusive. Exactly these values brought INKLANG. Very finely balanced, we could not get enough from a certain point.

Who wants to discover the new heroine of Wagner singing: Lise Davidsen is fast young and fast-paced. The Decca has very fresh a recital with the soprano. Here INKLANG showed a gripping sound. That had lifeblood, bass presence and a perfectly staggered panorama. Since one could fall into devotional listening. That is exactly what happened to us.

In this price range, we know little competition - sonically, but above all conceptually. The Hamburgers are cleverly positioned and understand their craft. To the delight of their customers. This will win fans."

(The AdvancedLine models expired in summer 2020.)

HiFi ifas 12.2021: „The bass guitar sounds pleasantly warm and with a full body on "And I Love Her" in Pat Metheny's version. And although only one instrument is played here, the area between the loudspeakers is completely filled, as is the room beyond. The sweet spot of the Ayers Five isn't just limited to a few centimetres, it's kept generous [...].

However, the floor-standing loudspeakers then lose their restraint at the latest with the rapid drum rolls, the way they whiz from left to right, which is really inspiring. This dry, rolling bass fits in wonderfully, nothing is thickened here at all, the woofers really grab it. Nevertheless, the occasional broom that plays discreetly comes into its own.

[...] The inhabitant of Hamburg does not attack the listener with a dissecting knife, but rather plays pleasantly and stress-free. With its discreetly warm character, longer enjoyable listening evenings are also possible. Every kind of music is placed in the room in a vivid and lively way and plays towards the listener. This also applies to the very live, gripping and wonderfully tight bass.“

Fairaudio 02/2021. “The INKLANG Ayers Five has its own character and that's a good thing. Powerful, confident and gripping, she is musically very versatile and delivers energetic and dynamic listening fun in almost every genre.

Sensitive minds may want to look for speakers with a higher fine resolution and a somewhat greater spatial distance in the stage image. However, if you want to let yourself be captivated by the music, enjoy and empathize in an uncomplicated and non-technical way, then the “hot-blooded Hanseatic women” are exactly the right choice.

Profile

• Depth with attack - that describes the bass talent of the Ayers Five pretty well. It reaches deep into the frequency basement and “steps” emphatically “to”. But dynamic, always precisely to the point, baggy basses and thump are completely alien to her.
• Some could wish for the resolving power of the “bear nose” to be a bit more analytical, but in terms of naturalness and plasticity, the middle band of the Ayers is a safe bet. Harmonious, full-bodied, at the same time relaxed and physical, she depicts singing and natural instruments in a pleasant light.
• The upper end of the frequency connects seamlessly, also in terms of character: The Inklang Ayers Five does not need any conspicuous highlights on the high frequency side to suggest audiophile richness of detail. Everything is there that is needed to enjoy music, but the Ayers Five does not want to be a detective sound magnifier.
• The Hamburg native is not just a mere lecturer, she is a rousing entertainer. She wants you to deal with the musical happening. Also encouraged by the fact that the spatial representation of the INKLANG Ayers Five follows a very involving model, which blurs the boundaries between auditorium and virtual stage. Despite good localization, nothing for a sound engineer who might prefer a more objective top view, but even more the right thing for lovers of energetic, gripping musical performances.”

Audio Test 02/2021: “Sometimes it can get confusing because several things happen on different levels at the same time. The bass needs control, the mids space and touch, while the highs need brilliance and breadth, spheres and auras. All of these are the strengths of the INKLANG Ayers Five.

The top model of the Ayers series is a control artist with impressive properties in terms of signal balance [...]. This creates a sound image that on the one hand sounds powerful and pleasantly voluminous in the middle. But it never reminds you of a booming hi-fi, but rather of expensive high-end, because the double tweeter construction works with such high resolution that it takes our breath away. "

Fidelity Online, 26.11.2020: "INKLANG promises that the Ayers Five is a loudspeaker that “doesn't want to hide its muscles”. And I can fully subscribe to that after various intense sessions with the black beauty. Especially when things are going musically, the Hamburg native knows no handbrake and whips the drums in her audience in "Ringin 'in my Head" by Black Stone Cherry with top-class emphasis. [...]

Particularly noteworthy is the completely stress-free, corporeal-holographic and full-bodied reproduction of voices and natural instruments. The "bear nose" is at its best when it comes to suppleness and naturalness. Together with the brilliant but never cheeky treble, it not only presents an excellent tonal soundscape, but also draws even the smallest details wonderfully vividly and transparently in the listening room."

Lite Magazine 10/2023: "To begin with, INKLANG's pair of speakers gets to try their hand at TV sound. In documentaries, the midrange speaker makes its presence felt with a wonderful reproduction of voices from on and off. [...] Real exclamation points are put on AYERS Five Wireless, however, when "Saving Private Ryan" is selected via Netflix. […] The rolling Tiger tank almost makes the floor in the listening room shake without the need for a subwoofer. [...] Powerful, detailed and immersive, the stereo set cuts a great figure in movie mode. [...]

After a few clicks, Popa Chubby and the Beast Band kick things off with "Live at G. Bluey's Juke Joint NYC." Immediately it is noticeable how powerful and energetic the AYERS Five Wireless acts. [...] The playing seems lively, the stage well filled and you quickly let yourself be carried away on the couch by the lively drive of the speakers. With the change to orchestral pieces, the great sound impression remains. [...] Thundering timpani from the darkness of the background, flowing strings and carrying epic choirs project the AYERS Five Wireless effortlessly into the room. At the same time, the individual components always seem nicely defined, possessing a natural-seeming timbre with beautiful detail, while adding up to more than the sum of many individual parts. [...]

Summary: INKLANG can convince in the active segment as well. The AYERS Five Wireless offer wonderfully rich, lively and room-filling sound. The powerful output stages deliver plenty of power and thanks to the various DSP modes, the floorstanding speakers can be tuned very easily. Especially together with the compact HD 10 Stream Connect, which allows wireless operation of the AYERS Five, you get a versatile and sonically enormously entertaining audio system for high demands. And even if the AYERS Five Wireless should not emit any sounds, you can still enjoy the pretty and customizable design."

LowBeats 2021/03: “The INKLANG claim to offer loudspeakers that are as uncomplicated as possible has been implemented here to a pleasing extent. The AYERS Four - or the configurator - offer many adjustment screws to adapt the slim floor-standing speaker optically to the listening room.

But with all living space adaptability, with all easy-to-use and easy-listening requirements, the AYERS Four is also a loudspeaker with highly ambitious sound performance. A loudspeaker with which, thanks to its fresh, precise and lively nature, it is really fun to rediscover the recordings and which outshines most of the established competitors in this class. You could also say: Ayers rocks!“

Lite Magazin 11/2021: “The AYERS Four shines in our test with double exclusivity: On the one hand, it impresses optically with its extra-attractive “Gold Blanche” version of the Limited Edition 2021. On the other hand, it scores with its three-way sound conversion with the rare mid-range dome. Thanks to this solution, the AYERS Four achieves an extremely homogeneous, very natural reproduction with a detailed, fine-resolution and highly dynamic image.

The excellent spatiality, the wonderful plasticity and the liveliness of the AYERS Four ensure a thrilling "like real" feeling. Despite its slimness, it delivers an impressive bass: it is tight and dry, but still voluminous. In this way, the sound remains clear and clean down to the bass. Thanks to its good radiation behavior, it also offers this euphonic sound away from the central listening area. The AYERS Four is acoustically uncomplicated and audiophile-savvy. Sometimes enjoying music can be very easy."

HiFi-IFAs 04/2023: "With the active floorstanding speakers INKLANG Ayers Four Wireless and streaming hub HD 10 Stream Connect, Thomas Carstensen has succeeded in making a respectable entry into active speakers and streaming right away. The speakers offer wireless as well as numerous digital and analog connectivity via cable. The INKLANG HD 10 Stream Connect is also equipped for numerous sources and connections. The idea of a fully digital chain is absolutely coherent and perfectly implemented with the DDFA technology on the amplifier side. The operation is uncomplicated, to which the successful InX app contributes its part.

The combination of the active INKLANG Ayers Four Wireless speakers and the INKLANG Streaming Hub HD 10 offers a generous, vivid presentation that is detached from the speakers. This makes it easier to choose a listening position and doesn't nail the listener down to that one optimal spot. Although the audio system plays very clear and open, it doesn't get on your nerves with the very last shred of resolution. The speakers skillfully handle emotions, which is due to the excellent midrange. The woofer of the Ayers Four Wireless belongs to the compression-free and dry as well as tight variety, which also fits into normal sized living rooms and thus gives great pleasure. Coarse as well as fine dynamics in music are welcome guests with these floorstanding speakers. Conceived as a complete audio system, the streaming hub and the speakers are also worth a tip when purchased individually."

“INKLANG has hit the jackpot with the small AYERS One. The design and workmanship are first class. The bookshelf speakers are easy to set up and flood the room generously and vividly with music, even outside the sweet spot.

The reproduction is very natural and transparent with a wonderfully dry bass. The AYERS One also appreciate very high-quality electronics. If you're looking for dreamy sound from compact speakers, you should put the Hamburg speakers on your shortlist.” (HiFi-IFAs 08/22)

Audio 08/22: "The start was made by Rebecca Pidgeon with the song "Kalerka". The drums, gently beaten with brooms, were resolved velvety, the fine dynamics of the plucked guitar strings were fine-beaded. The voice of the US actress and singer detached effortlessly from the diaphragms and purred seductively through the listening room. The spatial imaging and the fine resolution appealed to me right away. [...]

The catchy guitar riff created a hypnotic effect, which fit well with the mystical nimbus of the speaker. The transparency and silky treble reproduction were again at their best. Even the bass is very present for a compact speaker, although there are physical limits to the low end.

Summary: The AYERS One is an exceptional talent in terms of transparency and spatiality. The only "problem": sound and appearance do not quite match the price of 1600 Euros. The Ayers One plays in a higher class than the price suggests.”

HiFi-IFAs 08/23: “The concept of the fully digital hi-fi system with the streaming hub HD 10 Stream Connect and the active bookshelf speakers AYERS One Wireless works. Installing the components with each other and setting them a piece of cake with the INKLANG InX app. The app runs quickly as well as stably, and those who like to create playlists are welcome to let off steam here.

But the sound experience is definitely not neglected either. The fine resolution of the active speakers is on the pleasant side of life with the silk tweeters and allows for long relaxed listening. But beware, the small ones can also be quite big in the bass and shake the listener awake. The INKLANG AYERS One Wireless then does this with a skillfully neutral and plastic structure. For around 3,000 euros, the buyer receives an all-around recommendable HiFi complete system.

The editors of Stereoplay Audio take a look at three subwoofers in the 2/24 magazine issue. The Velodyne Deep Waves 10, Nubert's XW-1200 and our AYERS Sub. It comes out on top against its competitors in the test field: "The AYERS Sub is just as compact as the Velodyne and gives its two 8.75-inch aluminum chassis a leg up with a 280-watt Hypex power amplifier. The drivers are positioned in a push-push arrangement. As they are positioned opposite each other, each driver compensates for the movements of the other, resulting in a very quiet cabinet.

The signal is fed into the woofer via an RCA cable, and there is also a lot to adjust on the back. The volume, of course, but also the crossover frequency can be adjusted here, and the INKLANG is the only one in the test field with infinitely variable phase control. You can choose whether it is switched on permanently or switches on and off automatically. It also has three EQ modes: Home Theater, HiFi and Flat, whereby Flat works without bass emphasis and the other two add a little (more) level. [...]

It still has power, and for its size, the bass and level stability are outstanding. There is no app and therefore no room calibration. However, we didn't miss it in the test, as the AYERS Sub was very harmonious on the compact speakers even without it. The reinforced enclosure is impressively heavy, with wall thicknesses of at least 22 millimetres ensuring stability. Another quote: "The housing remains completely still when the going gets tough." There's nothing to add to that.

SUMMARY: Even without room calibration, the AYERS Sub is convincing across the board, especially in the laboratory. And then there's the wide range of colors typical at INKLANG. The AYERS Sub is a great, superbly crafted and sensibly generously equipped subwoofer." (Stereoplay Audio 02/24)

HIFI.DE 08/2022: “The subwoofer is a cube with an edge length of almost 37 centimeters and appears quite bulky not only next to the dainty wall speakers. And with a delicate weight of 28 kg and two bass drivers mounted in a push-push arrangement, it will inevitably command your respect.

Once connected, adjusted and levelled, however, it quickly turns out that it is anything but an uncouth hulk. With a lot of empathy, great calmness and abysmal depth, it completely selflessly pushes the bass energy into the room, [...]. A fine example of the understated nature of the Ayers Sub is Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. Here, none other than Victor Wooten takes hold of the strings of a fretless bass and coaxes dreamy melodies out of it in a low bass environment.

Many home theater noisemakers among the subwoofers are completely overwhelmed by this and muddy Wooten's soulful playing beyond recognition. And even our current subwoofer reference, the KEF KC62, reaches its limits here, when it suddenly has to transport so much expression in this frequency range.”

Active Subwoofer Test - LowBeats 12/2022: "This is where the subwoofer comes into play. Because it does what really good subwoofers add to the sound image. On the one hand, it's about more bass - clearly. The AYERS Sub extends the low bass transmission range of the AYERS Wall by at least an octave. This makes the sound image much more habitable, more stable and a bit warmer. But the subwoofer also brings more lightness to the mids. With it, the voices came a bit freer. Above all, [...]: Spatiality becomes much more generous with subwoofer - even in the depths.

The big advantage of the AYERS Sub is its stoic precision. Properly switched on and set up, it is much more than just the supplier of more deep bass. He puts the entire sound image on a stable-saturated pedestal and makes the combination sound like much more Invest than INKLANG calls. [...] The AYERS Sub is a perfect match for the AYERS Wall, but its construction and performance are so good that we used it for many other combinations after the test - some with compact speakers that cost many times more. When the level requirements don't get too high, it's just a really good hi-fi subwoofer far beyond its class."

The INKLANG HD 10 Stream Connect streaming hub is already visually appealing with its straightforward design. This also applies to the INKLANG InX app, the operation is clean and well thought-out, and the software is also very stable. The design of the living room-friendly INKLANG AYERS Three Wireless active floor-standing speakers is also straightforward and elegant, and with their many possible color variants they fit into any living environment.

The slim sound columns also achieve this with their delicate, silky sound and a powerful, juicy and superbly defined bass. The almost holographic reproduction of the slim active speakers is very vivid, and the concept with the low crossover frequencies is a complete success. The concept of color customization of the INKLANG loudspeakers for 140 euros a pair is also great - where else can you get something like this?

LowBeats 09/23: "After all, I had the passive AYERS Three in my listening room for many weeks and it played like no other floorstander in its class before. But the active Three sounds - if you don't add amplifier electronics beyond 10,000 euros - in many points even better.

But this is not a test active versus passive. Music lovers who choose an active, possibly wireless speaker solution have many reasons for doing so. And now, with the AYERS Three Wireless, one more. In terms of operation, it is simple and easy to use. In terms of sound, however, it offers a level that many competitors can't keep up with.

Against this background, the real killer is the price. The great passive version currently costs 3,500 euros, the active version (which offers many more options) only 700 euros more per pair. Once again, CEO Thomas Carstensen's pronounced service mindset is evident here. And while we're on the subject: their sheer unbelievable color selection is something the Hamburgers have quasi-exclusively..."
