Hi end hifi - Low hanging fruit

benson The mini-phantoms look nice but lack transparency, and are too bass heavy. The bigger phantoms are better but the Naim is definitely more to my liking. If you like the Naim sound (PRAT as they say- pace, rhythm and timing) then I don’t think you need to look elsewhere. I think you might struggle with a DJ controller and bluetooth speakers, unless you’re beat-matching visually with sync, but honestly don’t know the answer to that question.
benson I’ve got a Mu-so Qb in the kitchen. Really packs a punch for the price/size.
mono-stereo Thai bride?
Millsy gen lol
Been watching a few vids on YouTube on hi end hi-fi. You could easily spend 100k on a set of speakers and much more.
Dubman venture onto any of the high end audio forums and it’s full of boomers who religiously believe certain legacy Cisco switches give them better digital audio.
A fool and his money etc…

Agreed. I was looking at amplifiers as well. I saw an ad for a brand that has started a budget amp..it starts at 7k.
…make sure you get the 5 metre version
I confess I do like the look of these:
If R2D2 did speakers…
I do like the look of the devialet phantom 2 95db
obviously I’d get 2. So 200% of my £1k budget for the pair. They have a line in.
Seem to be great for highs and lows but sone people whinging about the mids.

lots of people recommending Sonos.
Sonos use a propriety network. And cunts that previously weren’t interested in music talk about Sonos as the second coming.

benson I’d given them a listen ideally in a listening room, not on the floor of Selfridges or Harrods. Personally I didn’t like them. They look nice, and have impressive amount of output for their size, but felt they’d be fatiguing listening to them at home, and as I said, I found the bass a bit too much with lack of transparency- but these things are all subjective I guess. As well as the Phantom 2’s I looked at a couple of other offerings but ended up buying these from a Korean company:
They’re completely wireless- i.e. no mains cable- uses Bosch Power tool batteries which last about 50 hours continuous play so can place them wherever I want, uses wifi to stream music via a proprietary dongle so have their own channel without inference, no compression and undetectable lag.
