Speakers for Hegel H95 that could use its full potential.
I should have mentioned @jakk, my comments above assume you’re using the BluOS app to stream.

@jakk Others may be more versed here than I, but my understanding is the optimal way to use the Node 2i would be to have both your phone and the Node connected to your wifi network, as opposed to using your phone to instruct the Node via Airplay. ...

I ran the H95 with Sonetto III’s and loved it. Zero problem driving levels you mention. The LS50’s get generally great reviews - I’ve never heard them. I tried some Kef R7’s with the H95 and liked them a lot, but in the end preferred the Sonettos ... 
Looking for thoughts on Sonus Faber speakers
Would agree with jjss49's assessment. Auditioned (among others) the R7's and liked them but chose the Sonetto III's due largely to my preference for the SF's perceived less forward treble. I run them with a pair of subs and love them. Next upgrade...

Thanks for sharing! I’m partial to the black.  I’m curious to hear one and see some detailed reviews. Price point could be ok IMO if the sound holds to traditional ARC standards, I think, but part of me wonders if it’s a little too… gimmicky? The ... 
Critical listening and altered states
@mikelavigne Thanks! Very generous and much appreciated. 
Critical listening and altered states
@mikelavigne if you’re willing to share, would love to hear what your top 2-10 reference tracks are - digital/vinyl. Impressive regimen. And system! 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
If true, might we at least be subject to fewer MC-touting posts on this product going forward? Perhaps we’ll find out. I don’t doubt his conviction in pods and podiums, but for anyone interested at all in the product, the search function would be ...

I see now the Aussie link I posted above has been disabled - odd. Hopefully ok to link to other audio forums - found this brief discussion: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=49413

I’ve no idea, but the $9K referenced in the ARC link I posted is from an Australian site, and maybe therefore AUD? If so, AU$9K ~ US $6600. Guess we’ll know more eventually.
