Long time reader/lurker but first time poster!
I'm helping you'll be able to help me with recommendations for a new system.
A few years ago I sold a Cyrus system (having tired of cables and not having space) and went for a Sonos system. The lack of cables and the ability to stream straight from Spotify appealed massively. Flash forward a while and I'm moving to a bigger place and long for the hi-fo qualify sound I used to get.
now I am looking for a new system and quite frankly am completely stuck. I love the speed and ease of use of Sonos but want a much better sound.
i tried the Naim muso thinking it would be the answer but whilst it was good at what it does, it didn't have the quality of sound I was looking for (even with high quality audio files).
can anyone recommend an integrated streamer that works with Spotify (and Tidal I guess as a I realise Spotify ain't all that when it comes to quality) but which will allow me to have the quality of sound I'm after?
things I've looked at so far are a Cambridge Audio Minx Xi with floor standing speakers (q acoustics 3050 for example), the Naim Muso as mentioned), the Cambridge Audio 851n (but that needs an amp and speakers at which point things are getting expensive). Max budget approx £1,500.
I would also like to use the system to connect my TV to. Or would just a good quality sound bar for TV/movies and 2 Sonos Play 5s in a stereo pair for music give decent enough results? There are so many options but nothing that seems perfect!
hope someone can help!
