WiFi System Upgrades
@williewonka I've had my Node 2 for about three months. You are correct in your assessment of Bluesound. The Node 2 is the main source of my system. The whole family loves it. I use its DAC and it sounds fantastic. I've felt no need to use my exte... 
Good quality wireless, active speakers ??
Hi, albireo13,If I was in your situation I would check out the KEF LS50 Wireless. I’m looking forward to the user/professional reviews. It looks to be an outstanding value; streamer, DAC, amplification with 230 watts. Cheers,Scott

"It is also my understanding that you cannot connect a computer by USB to the Node 2."This line should read; ".......cannot connect to a computer by USB to the Node 2 to play music." 
Bluesound Node 2
It is my understanding that Roon is software and Bluesound would provide an update which would make existing Node 2 streamers "Roon Ready".According to Bluesound; the type A USB port is for "connection to USB memory sticks and supported peripheral... 
Bluesound Node 2
According to the Roon Labs website the Node 2 will be Roon Ready soon. Another reason to try this great affordable streamer. Also, it sounds fantastic.Cheers,Scott

Please help ...integrated amp under $1200
As paraneer suggests, pick your speakers first. The MA Sliver 10 is a great speaker but I would want at least 100 strong watts to drive them properly. Not just for satisfying volume levels but for good control of the speaker so you can enjoy all t... 
Replacement for Matrix 803 S2
B&W can be bright and forward but they are not inherently bright or forward. It all depends on the room, equipment and set-up. When looking for speakers I did audition GE and B&W together. I went with the B&Ws but it was not because th... 
Speakers for Rotel RA1570 integrated
Hey, mgrec42,In a situation like yours I would check out the Audioengine HDP6 passive. Nearfield desktop set-ups are a strength of Audioengine. My wife uses their A2+ Powered speakers and they sound excellent. Good luck in your search.Cheers,Scott 
Bluesound Node 2
The Bluesound Node 2 is fantastic. I've had mine for a couple of months now. It has become my primary source. I use it connected by Ethernet to my router and its analog out to my integrated amp to stream internet radio and my music library on my i... 
Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's?
Hey, sunnyjim,The GE 7 is a great speaker. I listened to it at length when I was in the market for new speakers a couple of years ago. Depending on what your looking for you could go up the GE chain to the Triton Three.Since you have been looking ... 
Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8)
I'll second the Monitor Audio Silver 10s and add the MA Silver 8s. Also check out the B&W 683 S2. You get a lot of the B&W sound you liked from the 802 in a beautifully made great sounding affordable speaker. Good luck with your speaker se... 
Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si
Great suggestions from goldprintaudio! I will add the Arcam FMJ A19. Fantastic integrated, outstanding build quality and great sound. 
Speakers for my room
With a room as large as yours I would go with towers. Your NAD is a great amp and will do a great job with speakers like the PSB X2T or the B&W 683S2. Another great speaker is the Monitor Audio Sliver 8. Good luck with your speaker search.Chee... 
Arcam irDAC-II. Have you heard the news?
Thanks, nutty. Good info. I enjoy the rDAC very much. I'll have to try to get a listen to the irDAC to see if it would be worth making a move.
