Ooops. 😳

My neighbours have just been complaining because I was listening to 'Ode to Joy' at near full volume. :rockout:

It sounds bloody fantastic with 300 watts of headroom though! 8)

Then maybe they should close those doors?

I was trying to find something by this chap but Chopin is the best I can do. I should really make a fish knife joke here but that's another thread.

Turn it up (bring da noize). There may be fewer bits, but you won't notice.

That was from Dvorak's New World Symphony.

Embarrased..... I jumped in too quickly trying to be smart.....

Aaaaaaaanyway.

Sounds OK to me via Spotify/AirPlay - doesn't feel like its running out of puff. But then, I don't listen to music very loud, which brings us back to the OP, what he listens to and how loudly...

That's good to hear. The UnityQute should be perfectly adequate for anyone who only listens at low volume in a small room. When I listened to the UnityQute with the volume turned up a bit it didn't actually sound like it was badly distorted or clipping but the sound does definitely change. It just seems to be harder and lifeless once that it runs out of headroom to reproduce the instantaneous dynamic peaks adequately.

I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to put the OP off because the UnityQute is a very stylish and desirable piece of kit that sounds nice so long as it's kept it within it's limits.

A home demo would be nice. See if it can fill the room with tunes and doesn't run out of power before it can be heard at a good level.
