    15 tech products make our 2023 wishlist – HomePod 2, Spotify Hi-Fi, new Rega RP3 and more

    I'd love to see (and hear) Monitor Audio's concept speakers shown at Munich this year in production form. That green finish they were showing looked staggering.

    Cambridge Audio Evo 150 vs Naim Uniti Atom: which is the best streaming system?

    I'd also like to see either/both of these systems compared to the new Roksan Attessa product. Oddly I can't find any mention of that anywhere on WHF.com?

    Sonos S2 up now available! Here's how to up your Sonos system

    I have learned from past mistakes with all kinds of firmware/software updates and now I wait a good few months until the early bugs have been addressed. How this can happen when the software went through an extensive beta test is very strange..

    Sonos S2 up now available! Here's how to up your Sonos system

    According to the Sonos S2 Split system FAQ on their site, it isn't. Once you're updated to S2 there's no going back: Is this process reversible? No, once products have upgraded to S2, they cannot be downgraded back to S1 or added to an S1 system. Make sure you want to create a split system...

    Best British speakers 2020: great British speakers for your system

    Where was number 4? And what happened to Monitor Audio? So strong in the past few years with multiple Awards/5 star reviews and not featured here once..?

    Why is c.d apparently dead ?

    There are some sweeping statements here. Wow. Anort3 - "... most music sucks these days." There are artists out there that are not for everyone and this hasn't changed nor will it. Some of my favourite tracks to listen to on my system reminding me of why I spent so much money are well produced...

    Monitor Audio Bronze 100 hands-on

    I think you might be confused Musicmann067 - this is a brand new range of Bronze from Monitor Audio that was only shown at the Bristol HiFi Show 2020 for the first time. I think you're thinking of the 'Monitor' range (confusing in itself!) of which the Monitor 50 is a little cube shaped cabinet...

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    There are various width and depth measurements posted by people on Amazon - very unhelpful! I'm guessing that 795mm wide and 319mm deep is sensible for the size of TV so going to work with that. I'm surprised no one on this forum with this TV has posted here..

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    Thanks for the suggestion and replies Bigboss - the platform to raise the TV might be an option. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear in explaining. I'm trying to figure out the width of the crescent to see if it is wider than the width of the Beam so I could almost slot the Beam into the space...

    What One Item to Improve?

    This is not meant to be facetious and I'm not planning to delve into your medical history(!) but the best upgrade experienced to my system personally was due to having my ears syringed :) I'm a fit, well 30-something with no past issues with hearing and didn't think I really needed any...

    Question LG OLD55B8SLC and Sonos Beam - will they fit?

    Hi all, (First post back on the new forums (y)) Is anyone here using a Sonos Beam with an LG OLED 55B8SLC (the crescent stand variant)? I'm potentially going to put these two together, but I can't find anywhere the information to confirm if the Beam fits between the crescent of the TV table...

    Streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, NowTV, Apple TV) & HD audio

    Thanks for the comments, guys. I was on the edge of starting to eBay all my Blu-rays but the time and effort that requires I think would outweigh the money I'd get, so I'm glad you voiced your regrets gel from going down that route. I did consider ripping the collection as suggested too, but...

    Streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, NowTV, Apple TV) & HD audio

    Hi all, Forgive me if this subject has been covered recently, but without a search option directly in the WHF forum I couldn't see one a good few pages in, so here goes.. House move forces a downsize of 'stuff' that I've amassed over the years, and one of the casualities are the Blu-rays. I...

    What are your album(s) of the day regardless of format??

    (actually yesterday) Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon - KT Tunstall Nice laid back album for a lazy Sunday - has a very musical, analogue production. Easy to listen all the way through without skipping!
