Description

My listening room is small, so I am limited in what I can do with it. Have been working on improving the sound for a few years.

I have recently added the Lumin A-1 music streamer, and it has changed my opinion about digital music.  Listening to my collection of ripped CDs via my network server and the Lumin is finally enjoyable on the scale of listening to vinyl; It is that good. I have had a many DAC and CDPs in my system over the years, and none has been as good as the Lumin.

All the best sub systems I've heard have been either JL or REL. There are quite a variety of each. Cheers,

HC, Beautifully matched system. 
One suggestion, before changing speakers, have you tried borrowing a subwoofer from a friend or dealer? You might be better able to dial in to your sized/shaped room, avoid taking over the room, etc. You'd keep the benefit of point sources and could even free up your woofers from having to try to do the heavy lifting at low frequencies. That often results in clearer mids & highs. Just a thought...Cheers,
