REVIEW
The Cenyas are equally versatile
with solid-state amplification,
from about 35 wpc on up,
proving a good match with the
35-wpc Naim Qute2, the 50-wpc
Rega Brio-R and the 60-wpc
Pass Aleph 5—all reasonably
priced yet high-performance
small solid-state amplifiers.
Surprisingly, the Cenyas are
transported into another world
with the 300-wpc Burmester
911 MK3 and the similarly powered
Pass Xs 300 monoblocks,
though it is hardly likely that
someone would spend $30,000
to $80,000 on amplification for a
$4,000 pair of speakers—though,
if you do, these little beauties are
up to the task.
The $4,000 Question
If you are looking for maximum
performance with minimum
footprint, look no further than
the Penaudio Cenyas. They will
do justice to whatever ancillary
components you have at your
disposal and they produce
way more music than you
would expect from a speaker
this diminutive in size. Highly
recommended. l
