    I find that "Need" is a relative term when it comes to these things :-)

    Musical sub for MA BX2s and Sonos Connect:Amp?

    Can anyone recommend a good, articulate, musical sub to go with BX2s being driven by a Sonos Connect:Amp? I mainly listen to soul, ska, jungle and more or less anything with a bassline! Would like to keep costs to around 300£ but would have no problem getting a second hand unit if that is...

    Single wiring of bi-wired speakers?

    But with my current setup (only one set of binding posts connected) am I only sending a signal to one of the drivers in each speaker?? (i think it is the woofers) If that is the case, then surely bi-wiring will give an immediate improvement as the tweeters will kick in and the sound will be...

    Single wiring of bi-wired speakers?

    I have recently bought a pair of Monitor Audio BX2s and have not been blown away by the sound quality. However I recently realised that these speakers are intended to be bi-wired (4 ports on the back) and I have only connected two of these ports (to the woofers). Does this mean that if I now...

I would have thought the amp in the Connect:Amp (which I understand is pretty good for the price point) would be better than the...

    Speaker placement and selection in large / odd shaped room

    Thanks for the quick response! I am now concerned that a Sonos Connect:Amp may not have the power (55w per channel) to fill the room with good LOUD music.... would the speaker positioning affect this significantly? and I guess that bigger speakers will give a bigger sound....

    Speaker placement and selection in large / odd shaped room

    I am looking for advice on where to place speakers in the “lounge” of the floorplan: and suggestions for what those speakers should be on a budget of say 150-200£. I have some old Wharfedale Diamond 7.1s which were great but probably need replacing (cones are dented). Speakers need to be...
