All streaming nowadays using Roon/Qobuz. Listening room is good but not going to get amazing as that's the house and state of our union. I have more of a monitor set up with speaker placement. The sweet spot is just that and wider than just the center.
The integrated AMP is a Rogers High Fidelity KWM-88. I had that modified for using KT-170’s. What an AMP! Got a spare set of KT-170’s before Russia invaded Ukraine.
The Grimm MU1/Weiss 501 are thrilling and have great synergy with AMP & Speakers. A Telegartner M12 Gold Switch helps too.
Added Hijiri Power cables. Yup.that anded a bit more or I'm deluded. Both work for me.
Have two Roon end points. The one in the listing room (nee den) is the Grimm MU1 and the other one for the whole stereo is an Orchard Audio Pecan Pi+ that given the in ceiling speakers is good.
Power and ethernet very cleaned up. No tin foil on ceiling. Yet.
Dimensions: 16’ × 11’ Medium
Ceiling: 9’
Their web site says "A complete network solution for Extreme Audiophiles." I'd say this thing is remarkable. Seriously.
joel_hifi Yes I've heard other streamers and what was notable to me were the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the PS Audio DirectSteam DAC(great)....I have heard others too but those two were on noteworthy systems. I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of the better steamers but I chose one with a built in DAC rather than a stand alone DAC as I knew for me it would be steaming and nothing else. What did it for me was listing to "Kind of Blue" on a record and then on a steamer. I very(!) much like the Lumin T2 and feel no need to change. Laszlo Gardony is on as I type this.....Happy
I got the Lumin because "Uncle Kevin" & Co. extolled it as well as many many others. The easy L1 integration was a big factor too.
When the Guarneri's went on sale I got them. Given the room I wanted/needed speakers to clear furniture.
