Apos SMSL-400 Ensemble
Dang it.
Unfortunately, the Apos SMSL-400 Ensemble has reached its end of life. Luckily, we have a great replacement in the TOPPING-90 Ensemble, which is similarly priced.
Apos Ensembles are equipment bundles that have been specially curated by our team of audio professionals. Just as an ensemble refers to a group of musicians playing together, each of our ensembles is a coordinated group of equipment that we’ve brought together to form a superior listening experience.
