I quite liked how many had inbuilt speaker selectors. A pity now that many don't. That and/or a switchable pre-out would probably help quite a few setups that are used for daily as well as critical listening. Infuriatingly my SuperUniti can indeed flick between the Pre-Out / Speaker Out /...

Considering buying a preowned H190... can anyone who has one (or another Hegel) confirm whether Airplay and Spotify Connect can power on the amp if it's off?

I've a SuperUniti (and UQ2) and love it for the most part. It has a nice powerful amplifier and handles my P3ESRs grand. I presume you're planning to sell your Uniti to fund the upgrade. As the previous poster said if you're happy with what the Uniti does from a streaming point-of-view then...

The Bose can do Airplay but the Superuniti can’t. (I have AirUpnp on a R-Pi but it’s a bit kludge). The C368 sounds like a nice unit!

Looking for opinions and any experience of similar problems here. My sitting room and kitchen are within earshot and I tend to "float" from one to the other. The setups in both are unconnected from each other and frustrating to use. Sitting room is acoustically not the best, but a Naim...

Just make sure it has nice large internal wiring, and avoid anything with impedance matching or other “helpful” features. Something the Dynavox AMP-S would probably do the trick. Just out of interest, have you two rooms or a second set of speakers in the same room?

Another SU owner here... I think at the current second hand prices it’s hard to beat for what you get. Compared to the newer Uniti series I like the fact that it has a standard analogue preamp, and personally I prefer it’s more traditional interface. You could definitely use it without the...

OP here again, thanks everyone! Plenty of food for thought... I've a SuperUniti and P3ESRs in the sitting room and was planning to either use my spare UQ2, UQ2 + power amp, or power amp from the SU's pre-out to drive the kitchen. I had thought about a Muso where the Bose Wave unit is but it...

I'm looking for some ideas about speakers for a largish kitchen, it's about 3.5m by 7.5m. Half dining-area, half-kitchen. Looking for room-filling sound rather than critical listening. (Speakers will be driven from main room next door by a spare amplifier.) https://imgur.com/a/MDxWQKQ I'd...

Across the water over here in Ireland I’ve had a few great experiences with Cloney Audio. They really went the extra mile when I bought a set of speakers that didn’t work in my room. (I was convinced they would when I heard them in store, lesson learned). And they make a nice cup of tea!

How far from the wall are your SHL5+? I have P3ESRs in a room that size and they sound great, but would love something with a bit more scale.

OP here again, thanks everyone for all the great advice. I'm amazed how much I still don't know about HiFi despite having had it as my guilty pleasure for a few years.. From reading everything above and some other discussions, I've decided that the speakers need to be changed to ones more...

Should've known this wasn't going to be easy, and I finally appreciate the value of a home demo!... In my new house the living room is almost square, roughly 4.5m x 4.5m. Currently it has no wall decorations in it, but it's probably going to be sparse enough. The speakers have to be on one...
