If you still have it, connect to the network with a LAN cable and see if it updates it's firmware like mine did. The change has been astonishing. Why? I don't really know.

Thanks. Whatever it is that's happened, the change is pretty transformation to be honest. I'm now enjoying a session of Van Morrison. Sounds excellent. But Van still doesn't sound very happy, I guess that's not actually possible though!

Well, I'm floored. I have owned a Muso2 system for quite a while now and I've always been really disappointed with a flat one dimensional and not especially enjoyable sound. No more. What's happened? A couple of things - 1 I was struggling recently to get the Muso2 to talk reliably to my One...

Thanks for the interest, appreciated.

Yes, I think I understand now. I use chromecast to play Apple Music on the Muso2 and there's a volume control in the Apple Music app. There's also a volume control in the Google Home app but I tend to adjust volume in the Apple Music app. So, if for example like you, I used a WiiM streamer to...

Thank you for the suggestion. I hadn't considered active speakers at all. At around £1000 that leaves around £1500-ish for a pre-amp and streamer. That isn't Naim streamer or pre-amp money. There's a lot more for me to look into regarding a streamer than I had anticipated. At least it's...

Thanks. Let me test my understanding here. I would chromecast my Apple Music stream directly to those KEF speakers. I really wasn't aware of that. Kind of like I do with my Sonos Play1s? Edited to say - I need to have a listen, but those KEF active speakers might be just what I'm looking for...

Exactly. So I'm looking beyond the Muso2 now. The Muso2 will be used as a soundbar for the TV.

Spot on. If I could detach the speakers from the Muso2, I am 99% sure I would be a lot happier with it. But alas, I can't and Naim craftily don't provide a way of sending the sound anywhere else outside the Muso2 box. Understandable I might add. They want people like me to buy a more expensive...

Further to a thread I started yesterday in the general HiFi section - I like the sound of the Naim Muso2 but the sound to my ears never leaves the box and has no soundtage to speak of, very two dimensional. My Sonos Play1 pair do present a very nice three dimensional stereo sound stage but the...

Thank you for the comments it's really helpful. Regarding the Uniti Atom, I only thought of that because I like the sound of the Muso2. But I don't like the "stuck in the box" sound stage of it. The Sonos Play1 pair that I have present the kind of sound stage very impressively for small boxes...

I am minded to add here, experience from a long time ago. I remember back in the day when I had the classic Sondek/Grace/Supex front end. When I was shopping for a set of speakers the killer affordable speaker was the ARC101 at around £200 (which was obviously worth a lot more than it is today)...

Thanks again. More research required on my part, clearly. Though I can't help thinking that ~£2500 for a pair of speakers to pair with a £2300 Uniti Atom streamer isn't the most effective way to spend the money. Given a £5k budget, I wouldn't be buying a Uniti Atom. I always believed the bulk of...

Thanks very much. As a Muso listener, do you feel the same way I do? That the sound is fine but there is no soundstage at all from the Muso? The sound never seems to leave the box. On the other hand, my Sonos Play1 pair present a very convincing 3d sound stage. But not as good a sound overall as...

Thank you. That's helpful.
