But here’s a thought if you took that £500 hifi system and a £500 laptop/phone running office 365 back to WHF in 1985 demoed the hi-fi and then said let’s write the review on this inccphotos you took with the phone which would impress them the most :)

RS and 7oaks both stock Wiim and Bluesound, the N130 node has a nice control panel but check the control apps as thats going to be your main interaction.

I did say most of it and I was only referring to music on Tidal DSOTM on Bluray is fantastic and a lot of the new music I tried on the fire stick is very good, if not my style really. Its when I go back to older stuff I'm left wanting. My set up is 5.1.4.

For music I think the M23 is worthwhile over the c298, I have M17/M23/M28. I think the M28 is on par with the c298, adding the M23 brought improvements for music . But I think you should also check out Lyngdorf power amps.

I hate to ask, but why change your fronts because you weren't happy with the Dali atmos speakers? (hey I have the same and I'm not overwhelmed) KEF is imo a different sound altogether to DALI. I'd try a stereo power amp for the fronts first, KEF state their speakers dip to 3.2 ohms so not so...

Hi, I have a old amazon 4k fire stick and using the tidal app on the firestick I can stream Dolby Atmos, although I can't say I'm impressed with most of it.

So was mine, but it was a hand me down from my Father.

When ever I've been asked this question I always answer music, the equipment is a means to an end. I picked up a copy of WHFSAV in tescos a few weeks back and the guy next to me said not much in it this week, I said I thought there would be as the show was last week. He asked what equipment I...

They look like fun, wether they're 160 quids worth of fun is the question :)

Hi, Which part of the Amp is u/s, are the power amp channels functional or the streaming side, or neither? Replacement depends on how you use it, I assume all four zones all with independent source and volume controls or all playing the same simultaneously? If the power amp sections work you...

Dealers in the UK are selling them for £2000 but you are right they where as high as £2800 at one point which I'd consider in the 2-3000 euro range. I don't think the footprint is really any larger than stand mouted speakers. Of course prices fluctuate from region to region so it can be difficult.

If I had 2K to spend I'd be looking at Dali Rubicon 5.

They are actually set screws rather than bolts, I do urge you to consider bolts as many find the extra steel in the shank improves stereo imaging. Like you I also have no wife, I tend to just turn the music up loud enough to see if my neighbours wife hears any improvement. :)

I think we bank at the same place, I took the film tickets as I give them to my nephew.

I don't know either of the amps you mention, but as rule of thumb stereo amps are better for stereo music as you aren't paying for the extra amplifier channels. Theres a review of a Fosi 30 amp on the forum you might want to read.
