| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own The B&Ws don’t connect with me at all, so my money’d be on the Spendors that by all accounts are excellent. From my own experience having compared Joseph Audio speakers directly to B&W the JAs are better on all fronts and sound more like ... | |

| My first streamer- what spidf cable to use? I prefer my Apogee Wyde Eye to my Stereovox XV2. The XV2 is a bit too hyper detailed while the Apogee has all the detail but with a smoother and more natural sound. And a 1.5m length will only set you back 55 bucks...https://smile.amazon.com/Gei... | |
