Fight - A Small Deadly Space. One of my Record Store Day acquisitions. 
Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good
"And wired to analogue inputs of avr"There's a big part of your problem right there.  Sound quality out of the analog outputs is pretty decent given the price point, but using a better DAC will improve sound quality. 
Help a newbie understand

Sub Sonics and woofer pumping

Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100
I haven't heard the EVO400, but have heard some of the Primaluna integrateds.  Much more "syrupy" sounding.  It's beguiling, but I think it would wear thin after a while.  I'll keep my LS100 thank you. 
Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
I prefer the way they look without the grills on.  I keep them off my P3ESR but have left them on my Super HL5 Plus for the most part, mainly because they are in a high traffic area. I know they don't offer a lot of protection against an accidenta...
