The room is about 12ft by 16ft. However, it is kind of an open space up and sides. Budget: up to $2k - but somewhat flexible.

I already own the speakers. Currnelt, connected to an old receiver (Yamaha RX-V2400) with Bluesound node. I like to replace that receiver. Thinking about options. Even considering the Powernode. Or keeping the Node and get a dedicated amp.

Just wondering how well the wharfedale evo 4.2 would match up with a Bluesound Powernode or NAD C700?

Generally, I guess I have the following options: 1.) use a receiver 2.) By more Bluesound amps (similar with sonos). 1 for each speaker pair --> seems to become expensive for the purpose 3.) Connect the bluesound node to a multi-channel amplifier --> I have no experience with such amplifiers...

I am in the process of upgrading my living room setup (music only). I got a pair of Evo 4.2 and currently use an older Yamaha RX-V2400 receiver. I want to do BlueSound ( I currnelty trying out a Node) I am also looking for simplicity. Therefore, I came across the NAD C-700 which is an integrated...

I gather with Sonos that I would get 2 amps? Can I connect a phono?

I have a main pair of speakers (Evo 4.2) in the living room, a pair of satellite speakers in connected adjacent room. Therefore, the A-B balance need. Sometime I like to have music in both spaces. Sometimes just listen to music in the main room. Currently, I am using an old Yamaha RX-V2400...

Are there any good options to accomplish such a 4 speaker setup?

thanks. Can I drive two pairs with it and use an external device? something like this? https://www.russound.com/products/connectivity-and-control/volume-controls/indoor/tbl-75-table-top-volume-control If I did will this be linear to volume on main amplifier?

I like to drive one main pair speaker and concurently (at times) a scond set in adjacent room. Currently I am using an older receiver. Receivers allow to change the gain on any channel. But how about 4 channels amplifiers? I am currently looking at NAD C399 for example. I looked at the manual...

Meanwhile I got a Node. Here are my first impressions. Setup: Ended up being more difficult than expected. Seems the device is going into certain modes and hard to recover. Ended up resetting a couple of times. For example its hotspot for initial config simply didn't come on many times. I ended...

I am still using a Logitech Duet with iPeng, but it is time to upgrade :) So, this leads to the question on best replacement. There is a great review on what HiFi that places Bluesound Node on top. I feel there are two ways of biasing a review, audio tech vs. apps/integration As such I am...
