“BRILLIANT SEQUAL”
“When I first connected the Stereo Two, I set volume level at 30, a rather modest
level on my Stereo One. But Stereo two is in every way the big brother, and I’m
struck by a soundpressure which exceeds number one capabilities wastly. And
there is still more to get, so we begin by stating that it is possible to play substantially
higher with Stereo Two.”
“The bass feels equally deep and the treble is well stretched, at the same time as the wonderful detailing is kept. And the stereo image is even more open, which impresses especially when Stereo One excelled in this aspect.”
“A complete and high performing hifi-system, as easy to buy as to live with.”
Judgement:
Extraordninary bass
Fantastic finish
Easy to use
HiFi&Musik, nr 11, 2008. First listening
'' Best Sound in Test ''
“The sequal to the popular Stereo One got Magnus Fredholm going in the last issue of
HiFi&Musik, and I understand why. This is “real” hifi – but smaller.”
“It certainly feels like Audio Pro have gone for the inside power instead of useless features.
This is a virtual powerstation, how about 2x95 watt in regular mode and 2x175 watt with Audio Pros patented Ace-Bass in the loop?”
“A grown up and mature sound is what meets the listener when Stereo Two is turned on... The sound is very big, and at the same time it feels controlled, which places Audio Pro in this tests top spot for best sound... You can play at very high sound levels and it still sounds good.”
“Best sound regardless of price you get with Audio Pro Stereo Two, which is a solid,
CD receiver system with very good speakers. ”
Judgement:
Sound: 10 of 10
Finish: 8 of 10

HiFi&Musik Sweden, nr 12, 2008. Test of 15 compact stereosystems
“After the success with the mini-system Stereo One, Audio Pro has added extra testosteron and size in the form of Stereo Two. In other words, not mini any more.”
“The Audio Pro system reproduces the opening track If I Were a Boy (Beyoncé) with as much soul as it is possible. The system sounds warm and full-bodied in the midrange,
which is where the magic is. As a matter of fact, I feel that Stereo Two doesn’t fall short
to a more expensive high-end system with floorstanders.”
“The bass reproduction is deeper than expected, and there is actually good foundation
in the contrabass, and the cellos are also very full-bodied. The tonal coherence has
nothing negative either, the musicians are never crowded for space in the stereo image,
which is rather big and airy.”
“... the homogenous timbre is very inviting and this system is somewhat addictive.”
“Swedish Audio Pro has with Stereo Two designed a system which reproduces music in a particularly inviting way. The sound image is as rock solid as it can be from a system of this kind...”
“We are not aware of any other system of this kind which does a better job.”

“Audio Pro is again showing Newton and his lover the finger...”
“When you unpack Stereo Two you feel that you have made a good choice. The whole
packaging just breathes exclusivity. Fairly unique? Yes!”
“For its even and pleasant characteristics this is a good allrounder. You can spend many
hours in front of this system without tireing.”
“On Maxwells track To want to love you the bass is reproduced with enormous weight
and depth, which only can been acclaimed to floorstanders. To make a 5.5” driver
achieve this is truly remarkable, our hats off. ”
“Audio Pro has clearly made something great here, because a very good stereowidth
and holography is being served.”
“The bass reproduction in these fellows will blow anyones mind.”
“Stereo Two is a serious system with a pleasant chararacter and an extraordinary bass. It
also presents a unique estetical image which in the right surrounding looks astonishing. It
is possible to put together a good system in the same pricerange, but you certainly won’t
get the same deep bassreproduction.”
“totally unique!”
Stereo Two
Judgement
Stereo Two is a very good
allround-system with enormous
bass resorces.

Goes extremly deep in bass
