Good suggestion I've found somewhere that sells some as well as the Dali so I can go have a listen

Monitor audio radius 225s have the same issue as the Kefs. And other speakers in that series are very deep so not really what I'm looking for. Perhaps what I'm looking for doesn't exist! ;) Amp is Marantz SR5007

Appreciate the suggestion and the Kef's do get a great write up but personally I find the tall size to be too imposing, ideally looking for something more compact. I know the Dali LCRs aren't small but they're significantly shorter

Hi, After having a 5.1 set up for years I've finally reached the time where the benefit is not out-weighed by the aesthetics. I would really like to reduce the clutter and mount 3 speakers on the wall around the tv which will also be wall mounted. I'll have the wires chased to hide any mess as...

Great thank you, was also considering the monitor audio soundbar as that has AirPlay built in but if I can do this with the Dali it'll be the best solution, and it looks cool with the different colour options!

I'm looking for a new soundbar and really like the look of the Dali. The one thing putting me off is lack of AirPlay support. I know the Dali supports aptx Blutooth but I stream music from my iPhone and iPhones don't shpport aptx so the sound quality over Blutooth is going to be low. so could I...

@mike Stands are Atacama aurora 6 – decent stands and most importantly for the other half – they look good. They don’t have blu tac but have some rubber pieces built into the base of the stand, I have spikes, but the stands aren’t mass loaded (they could be). I don’t think those stands are made...

Yeah I am kind of surprised to be honest, as far as I was concerned my 685’s were real hi-fi and generally it wasn’t clear if the CM5’s would be a big or a small step up. But I find them a massive step up, it’s frustrating at times to be put off by bad quality recording but when you do find a...

Great, good to know it's not me hearing things and that my speakers are doing a good job! Those other two tracks I mentioned are far worse and I think in both cases it's spotify as from other sources the recording is clear never had issues with spotify but it's being shown up by my new...

either I have incredibly good hearing (not likely) or this is a source problem (spotify premium from an iPhone on extreme quality setting) I just downloaded the Lou Reed track (only 128kb) and it plays without crackling on my speakers and headphones! But on spotify it's very audible on my...

Either i'm going mad (possible) or I'm hearing something noone else is :) I've just paid 99p to download it from iTunes and I hear the same from my work pc with different headphones! Now nothing is in common with the thing I originally heard How about this...Lou Reed - Romeo Had Juliette...

thanks for checking it out with your setup! no other source, but i'll try downloading a flac/mp3 tonight and streaming it from the laptop/headphones into laptop

Hmm interesting that you can't hear the issue...what's your setup? I can hear it through my speakers and also through my iPhone and headphones so the only common factor here is spotify through my iPhone (that's the source in both cases). Maybe I should download the track in FLAC and see what...

You didn't sound patronising at all :-) Thanks for the input! I still listen to the odd FLAC but not as much as I'd like to

I agree with what you're saying. In my situation I wouldn't actually go as far to say as it is less enjoyable, just that I have to adjust and get over less enjoyable details. The sound is the opposite of muddled so I think the amp is doign a good job, I did have a rotel RA08SE hooked up but sold...
