ELECTROCOMPANIET EC LIVING TANA > Stereo Guide review - 95%

Electrocompaniet EC-Living Tana SL-2 and Sira L-1 Sub are convincing in terms of operation, flexibility and connectivity and, with the subwoofer, do not lack any large floorstanding speakers in terms of sound. The sensible addition for medium and large rooms not only increases dynamics and depth. It ensures more precise spatial imaging with a sharper focus.

The Electrocompaniet Tana SL-2 and the Sira L-1 subwoofer stand alone. Only a few traditional high-end manufacturers are venturing into the terrain of open-platform multi-room systems. And when they do, it is usually with the support of suppliers or ready-made modules for integrating a wide range of protocols. Or with only rudimentary playback functions, which in turn makes the products mostly uninteresting for modern applications.

EC Living Tana: Genuine high-end, many possibilities
The list of playback options is pleasingly long for a high-end manufacturer: in addition to Bluetooth 4.2, the trio understands Airplay, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect. You can play music from the Qobuz app as well as from Roon. The streaming services are also elegantly integrated into the app with controls, a large cover display and useful information about resolution and even bit rate. Internet radio, DLNA and playback of local data from USB storage are available as additional playback options, so we only really missed Chromecast in the streaming area.
