This week’s tech review:
The couple who once shared a stereo minisystem in a cozy, wood-paneled den are now more likely shopping for a pair of his-and-hers Dr. Dre headphones.
Listening to music has never been so lonesome. Yet the minisystem, for solitary or group listening, remains a bridge to an era when speakers, not headphones and portable music players, ruled.
The Onkyo CS-355 Colibrino looks very much like that old standby, with a compact receiver/CD player and AM/FM tuner, two undersized bookshelf speakers, an undersize remote control and, of course, a headphone input for private listening. The CS-355 has been updated modestly for contemporary tastes with Bluetooth (but not Apple’s AirPlay) for wireless playback and a USB connector (but not a dock) for an iPod, iPhone or iPad.
