| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? Marten Oscar Duo are a stand mounts. You probably want Oscar Trio. | |
| Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers +1 @steakster +1 @maxwave I also think Marten Parker Trio could be perfect. I heard the small Parker Duo recently and they were great but if you want bass then the Trio should be way better. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Stenheim, Rockport, Focal, Marten and Vimberg are some brands you could evaluate. I really liked a pair of Marten stand mounts I heard recently. KLH are also becoming more popular. | |
| Streamer advice Volumio Primo or Rivo is in that price range. Just a Raspberry Pi works if you are a bit technical. https://orchardaudio.com/product-category/pecanpi/ | |
| Speaker upgrade You can add the Fyne Vintage line to your list. https://www.whathifi.com/news/fyne-vintage-speakers-promise-retro-looks-and-cutting-edge-technology As others have said the Paradigm are different to the rest and if you like them then a lot of oth... | |

| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? MBL 126 is the best I've heard. Kii Thee is probably next. | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage My Canton Ref 9k goes deep and has a great soundstage. Costs a little more but worth it. Otherwise you could try Fyne F500SP with a sub. | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 Have you looked at Moonriver Audio? I think they look great and sound great. | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? It sounds like you are at the starting levels of hifi. There aren't that many dacs for £1000. A lot of the models audiophiles recommend cost $3k or more. I have decided to be happy with what I have and wait a few years before upgrading. Then I may... | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using Canton Ref 9K is in that price range and are very good with voices. They also go deeper than many other stand mounts so you may hold off or wholly skip subs. | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? +1 @parker65310 47Hz is not impressive at all. My stand mounts go down to 30 or so and are way cheaper. | |
| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? +1 on both @drbond @ghdprentice Your system looks balanced. You probably need to change almost everything to get a huge improvement. Doing this a step at a time is easier and spreads the cost but you may have to aim for components 2x the pri... | |
| Burned Pecan Pi You don’t specify exactly how you are playing. It has been some problems recently with Volumio and Tidal Connect. It works for me when running the web interface or the Volumio app to play Tidal that way. The support forum has some information. Yo... |
