I'm remaining neutral in this, presenting possibilities, it's just you trying to find fault in what I'm suggesting and catch me out for some strange reason.

As the Naim doesn't have any room correction, I'd have certainly tried the Lyngdorfs without correction first - making a like for like comparison of the actual products to get an idea of how they stack up against each other before messing about with room correction. After that, tinker away, but...

BBC has always been a bit of pain when it comes to availability, and it's usually at the discretion of the BBC.

He stated there was no room correction or DSP applied to the Naim when unboxed, so I presumed it had something and wasn't used. As for the Lyngdorf, if nobody listens to it "as is" in a familiar environment, how will anyone know what it really sounds like, or compares to anything else? The...

I'm not sure I see the point in comparing one with room correction and one without, as well as listening to a hi-fi product only with room correction - how can you initially assess what the actual product sounds like? I'm always wary about room correction, as you never know to what level it's...

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at what the majority of them donate...

And the i35 is even better. I haven't red the review, but I'm guessing it didn't suit the speakers that the reviewer used. Although, eleven lines of text is hardly review.

I thought you were referring to the 40th Anniversary... The trim rings go with the logo, and it's surprising how much a subtle trim ring like those can add to the look of a speaker, compared to the large things on the original KEF R Series. Always looks better in the flesh too.

Silver trim rings?

Not really. Numerous choices can be compared directly in one space, then any decent sealer will let the customer try their preferred option (or maybe two) at home in their own space. Do it right the first time, rather than just chancing it on other people's preferences and zero listening.

You'll need to audition for yourself, as only you can choose the right speakers for your preferences. Also, you'll need to try them with your amp to make sure they work well together, and insure the speakers themselves are suitable for your room and their intended placement. Sound complicated...

Manufacturers and distributors generally don't sell at shows, so not trying to flog you things there and then. Bristol is the biggest meat market, as it's run by a retailer.

I'll add that DTS PlayFi isn't great, although it seems to be one that if it works for you, it's usually pretty good, but if it doesn't, it's a bit of a dog. And as far as amp comparisons go, the Audiolab will be the biggest difference over the Wiim compared to the other options (which are all...

For anything other than a disc, Dolby Atmos uses the lossy Dolby Digital Plus platform, and is therefore compatible with normal Dolby Digital systems.

It'll be a bit perfect rip to the hard drive, and the output is buffered, so any reading errors will be corrected either by multiple reads to get it right. Very few, if any compact disc players have a buffered output, so don't have the same opportunity to get things right. Compared to the...
