MY REQUIREMENTS
The system will be used mainly for music in our lounge/kitchen and so I've decided to go for stereo HiFi not AVR 1. However, I still want to plug my Sky/TV setup into the amp which I understand isn't an issue using an optical in?
I use Spotify and iTunes mainly on iPhone and iPad and so Spotify Connect and Airplay is a must. However, I also have a Windows 7 laptop (with wireless). 2. Will this laptop be able to use Spotify Connect and Airplay to connect itunes and Spotify to the Amp? I don't see why it wouldn't work, although I read this only works on mobile devices, not a Win 7 laptop ?
I would like to have a second set of speakers (preferably wired) in our kitchen so the amp will need to support this. I understand this can be done with two speaker outs and an A/B button. However I would like to be able to control the volumes of both sets of speakers independently. 3. Am I right in thinking that a wireless speaker (eg Yamaha Multicast WX-030) can do this as it has its own volume? 4. What about wired speakers? Could I adjust the volume independently via the amps app maybe or some other way?
I want floor standing speakers. These would need to be fairly close to the wall. According to 'What HiFi' review the Zensors can be 5cm close which is fine.
I would like to option to have a sub woofer. I listen to lots of genres (including House and D&B). 5. Maybe this wouldn't be needed with the Zensor 7 speakers? 6. If you think it would be, can this be tucked away in the corner of the room maybe?
Oh and the lounge is 3.7m x 7m
If you need any other info, please let me know and Many thanks for your input!
PS Apologies I have been unable to get the line spacing/formatting to work
Cheers
[/quoted] good choice.dali has lots of bass you will not need a sub
