Nonoise, I didn’t intend to imply that I couldn’t hear a difference, just that I’m satisfied with the surprisingly good sound of the Sony audio. I also use the audio of the 85" Sony in our media room for TV, reserving the rack of Ayre gear and KEF Reference 1s for Roon and Blue rays played using the Ayre DX-5 DSD. One could argue that the Wireless 2 is always on whereas the Ayre gear is not, so why not use it. I have no good defense for that argument except it frees up the HDMI input of the Wireless 2 for the Oppo 205. Sony’s acoustic surface technology may be the turning point for me. Neither TV has anything like a traditional speaker.
TV audio
Our living room setup is comprised of a 75" Sony with eARC to KEF Wireless 2s augmented with a pair of KC62 subs. But the internal audio of the Sony TV is so good it rivals the external audio. I may reserve the external audio for Roon and Blue rays. I don’t recall TV audio being as good as it is with our new Sonys. The sound is detailed, the imaging precise, the LF robust.
