Jesus. You’d need those to deliver a quality sound through any of these.

    benson Something like the Henly’s are great for the dinner party of trying to bum the missus to Coldplay, but for DJing at home you don’t really need something that refined. Splurge the 1k on the nice ones and then spunk another £250 on something a bit more standard for the train wrecks.

      I confess I do like the look of these:

      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.

          Wasily So niche you cannot even buy them anywhere!

          I’m ambivalent about sonos.

          Still kind of liking the phantoms. I want something super easy. It is quite a big space to fill. It will be a massive improvement on what I have at the moment anyway

              benson Yeah, I got them in HK. Love my niche gadgets 😛

                Along_the_Wire Exactly as Amps said above. A lot of stuff, not going to name brands, are geared towards selling units in showrooms/ on shop floors so have sound signatures that tend to the brighter end of the spectrum to grab customers’ attention but ultimately you get a bit tired of it after buying the unit and listening for long periods of time. Some stuff that’s initially a bit underwhelming on first listen I actually find lasts the test of time at home particularly I’m referring to brands like Linn here. Not advocating this for Benson but if you’re interested in buying decent Hi-Fi then have a few listens first.

                      Wasily I went for the devialets in the end. The difference between 1 and 2 of them is like night and day. Just working out where to put them and losing line of sight to one of them as I did the ironing made the world of difference. Listening to bunker 40, Just got to sentre - IDK and it sounds like nothing I have ever heard at home. At this rate they will get relegated to TV speakers and I’ll be getting the full fat ones.

                      And yes they do look like a nice lifestyle accessory but they fit nicely in a bookshelf (missing the side so not really enclosed) and dead easy to point if I am in a dofferent direction.

                      Overall very happy. Only issue is the massive latency with everything with a DSP so keeping the old amp and sub for when I want to spin a few tunes
