Hi all,
Looking at my first top notch hifi purchase and after some opinions on the 2 options I've been looking at;
1. AE1 Active paired with the new Node - £1350
2. LS50 Wireless 2 - £2350
I will only be streaming, no CD collection or vinyl. I'm coming from a Sonos One, the bar is low! I will want lossless CD quality music. My music taste is varied. Mostly folk, classical, rock and the odd smidgen of House.
If the speakers can help with TV / Projector use then thats a bonus. If I get the AE1, I can afford a decent enough HD projector and screen.
My room is 6x5m, but opens up to the dining room and hall via 2.5 m wide openings. The speakers will eventually move into a standard terrace 5x4m front room which opens to same size diner. Ive narrowed it down to these 2 speakers due to their size, reviews and....looks. I've read nothing but gleaming reviews about both speakers, but is the difference in performance of the 2 systems likely to be £1k worth and will I notice it?
Keen to hear all opinions, I've had a bunch of advice from another place and appreciate those taking their own time to reply.
All the best
