Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept?
I had a pair of Aerial 7Bs for about a week. Only long enough to turn them around and out the door. I wouldn’t give you 700.00 for a pair. But good luck with your sale.Oz 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Update.After allowing the Lumin U1 mini to burn in for around 100 hours the gap widened between it and the Node 2i. I believe the Lumin is more transparent and tonally more natural than the Node. I am keeping the U1 mini and selling the Node. It's...

hilde45I think the Node 2i does a wonderful job at it’s price point. I will put mine back in the system soon to compare to my Lumin.Oz 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
Any time I've heard Levinson amps they were sterile and lifeless. I think you can do better for 2500.00.Oz

Crickets indeed.No, I am no vandersteen set up expert. I don't even play one on tv, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night.But I want either of you to tell me that you can get 100%, hell even 90% of what the 5a is capable of in a room that siz... 
Moving up from a Node 2i
Well it just arrived late yesterday. I found out that Lumin strongly recommends running minim server on the NAS, so I downloaded that and found my library while waiting on the delivery.Setup was painless, even easier than the Node. I have it runni...

Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark?
Unfortunately the Teac doesn't have a digital out.Oz 
Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade)
No to your no, where did he say he had them on the short wall ? Well let's consider the long wall option.If he places them 3 ft. from the front wall, that would make his listening position 4 ft. away. Speaks for itself.Not trying to be contrar...

Actually, no to your no.Even only allowing 8" (which is not enough room actually) between the speaker and the sidewall, you can barely spread the 5a any further than 5' apart. That is not optimal by just about any standard.So agree that maybe they...

My room is 15 feet long by 8 and one half feet wide. Well as long as you accept that you get about 60% of any speaker's potential in a room like that, you should be ok.

The only reason I didn't go with a D2 is because I think the DAC would not outperform my MHDT. According to the dealer that sold me the U1 mini, the DAC in the D2 is really only average.Oz

in my 8 1/2 by 15 foot room?  I hope that was a typo. If not, I'd say you are a prime candidate for a headphone only system........Oz 
Lumin D2
That's good to know since I will be receiving my U1 mini next week and was hoping this issue had been corrected by now.Oz
