The all singing WiiM Pro Amp that is due for release at £299 is a game changer

Bluesound Powernode Killer?

IF that’s correct how do they sample up to 24-bit/384kHz?? - what connection is required for 384khz? how confusing if the Wired connection maxes out at 96khz! What Hi FI please comment

If I were to go ahead with the shelf idea they could come out up to 15 inches from rear wall - i suspect the Proacs front port would work better in regards to my placement - in the shop they were some 2 feet from rear wall on Atacama HMS 2.1's Its all subjective until I get them in my room and...

Well.. I could not fault the Ls50's - to my ears they were no million miles from the Kef Refs - I have better amplification at home than what was currently on offer in the shop mind.. - The ref 1's will probably show their worth then I would imagine.. z

Keeping the R900's is an option but its a little cramped but I may stick with them - Dared Saturn amp dac/hi res music

Had a great Demo today at Audio Affair In Birmingham - First up was the Kef Ref 1's - they had the same dna of my R900's they had tremendous clarity with good depth from a Standmounter - I then tried some Proac D2's - wow - I was impressed with these! they sounded so smooth in the high...

I did previously demo the Ls50 and the R300 and actually prefered the R300 although it was with a Quad Vena.. just had a look at the Auralex and yes the others are expensive but look the dogs.. The shelf/table top will be made out of concrete slabs - not wood, you will get my drift soon enough

a lovely option!

Hi Rick, its the fabulous f113 Ken

Hi David, in what way will you feel they will be superior? - The Shelf I plan to build will house all my equipment and will be solid - any suggestions on isolation from the shelf? I think you may be right in regards to certain music sounding harsh bright (reliant on the recording producer) and...

Absolutley, I will try them at home before shedding out the cash - I will keep you posted - The white paper of the Ref 1's do suggest shelf/standmounted - as stated, I have tried the R300's shelf mounted and thought they were superb - the dealer has the R900's R300's, Ls50's and Ref 1's so...

I could take the Hugo along with me when I dem the Reference 1's to see if the TT is to blame although would be suprised if it was the culprit - its not a massive criticism but its there on certain tracks - my source is mainly JRiver via imac

I have Parasound Halo JC1's, Chord Hugo TT, JL Audio Fathom Subwoofer I will definately go and compare them first - the only real complaint of the R series to me was that listening with higher volume, the treble was sometimes a little piercing

Due to my setup going into a new room I have limited space for my brilliant R900's and require speakers to be put on a solid table top shelf with my 2 channel set up - I'm hoping that someone has compared the above speakers - Lower bass duties would not be massivly important as I have a very...
