| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I hate to pivot the thread like this but I think it will get you where you really want to land. When making a move to upgrade, make a significant move up, not just an incremental one. The incremental moves often lead to disappointment. I would ... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers I used Vicaoustics and am very pleased with the results. OP, if you're interested, DM me and I'll send some pics. Good luck and cheers. | |
| Confused with size of speaker to get when placed along long wall in large room There are some very good recommendations already made here. At your preferred listening levels it will be very hard for any pair of floorstanders to get you a smooth response and not sound thin. I would strongly consider adding a pair of subwoof... | |
| NAD M66 I would strongly think that the streamer is the same across all products. Maybe the DAC module is better in the master series? Call 905-831-6555 and try to get in touch with Jade. Good luck and cheers. | |

| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings Take a listen to band Blackberry Smoke. Guitarist Charlie Starr plays quite a bit with Warren Haynes. This should be right in your wheelhouse. | |

| Is more amp power always better...? I know this is frustrating but I've found that the manufacture's stated WPC has very little to do with true, usable power output. One really has to do a deeper dive and either listen in person or get information from a trusted source like an info... | |

| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Could be interesting if this was an apples v. apples comparison but it is not. If this was a science lab experiment the grade would be an F. | |
