I think I've made a mistake....

Manufacturers got to partner up with different audio suppliers in the High end audio sector and increase the number of vendors and manufacturers to sell one complete high end audio system by the main brand.

So there will be lots of innovation and developments very often. ☺️

How does this differ to the existing situation where several Hi-Fi retailers already provide bundles of Hi-Fi components, covering different manufacturers?

They aren't designed to work in everyone's "HiFi bubble" whatever that is. ....
Note: major failing in this thinking is everyone has a different " HiFi bubble "

I've posted a couple of times recently about my space and volume constraints. I wanted to upgrade my Wharfdale Diamond 9.1 (I really liked the sound but thought maybe I could do better....). After reading loads of reviews I bought some used B&W 607 S2 Anniversary edition. They are a great speaker, with lots of detail and very musical, but they are definitely at their best with plenty of room around them. ie if I pull them out into the middle of the room and add a bit of volume, I love them! Unfortunately that doesn't work for me, or my partner, or the neighbours. So recommendations please for something more forgiving in terms of space (one is in the corner of the room and the other is next to a tall bookcase). Amp is old Arcam Alpha 7 and source is mostly CD. I'd be happy to change the speakers and the amp (and dac?) if that gets me loving the music again 🤞

I’m in a similar situation. The room where I mostly stay and listen to music is quite small. I don’t have the option to place the speakers far from the wall. At the moment, I’m using Mordaunt-Short Aviano 1. I really like the British sound, and I’d love to get the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 (or even better, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3), but there’s simply no space... And placing those speakers too close to the wall isn’t a great option. For now, the only suitable choice I see is the Elac Debut B5.2.
