Yes, this is ridiculous. I can get why it can’t be done over Bluetooth but I’m really annoyed that even when wired it’s not supported. It’s unbelievable that apple who often tout their deep integration between hardware and software dropped the ball here. Apple Music hi fi would have been known...

Did you test the ls50 metas sound with the atom? If so, how did they sound?

Thanks for your responses all. I’m not due to buy until later in the year but my thinking is that if I’m about to spend c£2.5k on an amp I’d be a tad annoyed if it was updated only a few months later. Hopefully when I do buy there will be some great deals with the LS50 metas

I’m looking to buy the uniti atom with the ls50 meta. I believe the atom has been out for a few years already so wondering if there’s likely to be an updated version next year. Anyone have any thoughts?

I demoed it with the Powernode 2i and B&W PV1D (I already have this sub). The wireless 2 aren't out of my budget but I'm less convinced about KEF keeping the firmware and app updated. Aren't the old LS50s stuck with the old app/features? I want these speakers to last so I'd prefer to have...

Can anyone tell me how long the Bluesound Powernode 2i model has been out? I'm considering this with the LS50 Metas which I demoed yesterday. Really keen on it but I was thinking that if it's been out for a while then it may get updated. I'm one of those weird tech types who hates buying...

Thanks - it’s helpful. Still undecided though. I’ve got a B&W PV1 I want to use with it. I‘m completely clueless with this - would using a Sonos amp be a serious mistake? I’m planning to buy an Arc soon and I guess I want to maintain a single eco system. However, if that’s going to be a...

I was considering the wireless version but with the rate that tech changes I’d rather have it connected to something I can upgrade. Need something that’s AirPlay 2 compatible that I can use with HomeKit. To be honest, I’m also concerned about KEFs ability to keep the software/feature...

Hoping there will be some Black Friday deals coming up.

Will do. Also, what streamer would be best suited to this? Sonos Amp (primarily because I'm also thinking of buying an Arc at some point and ideally like to stick to one eco system), Bluesound Powernode, or something else? I'm looking at a budget of £2k max. I'm not sure if any similar...

What would be the reason to get these over the Kef R3? I'm genuinely considering one of the 2

I’m also interested in how it performs for atmos

I finally sold my 10+ year old setup (Denon AVR 2310 + Kef 3005SE), although I’ve kept my B&W PV1 that I upgraded from the original Kef sub. Anyway I’m considering the arc with one sl rears as I would prefer a simpler and wire free set up. I also think it would also allow me to have a proper...

Has anyone got this combo? if so, what does it sound like? I’m considering to buy it

Thanks again
