thanks but would have to be Alexia 2s - also out of my price range !

Still looking

Bump...

Hi guys I’m on the lookout for set of Wilson Sasha 2s. Ideally black in excellent condition with crates , etc. Moving up from Wilson Sophia 2s if I can find the right pair. Cheers, Mike

One thing worth metioning the distance to the back wall should be different from the distance to the side wall. Personally I would move the left hand speaker another 8" from the side wall and move your sofa a few inches away from the back wall

From the pic it looks like it can move maybe 18"-24" from the side wall ? That would really help the sound imo.

move that trunk out of the way. Can a smaller one go to the side of the sofa ?

This could be the answer. I suffer from this after many years of listening to bigish speakers in smallish rooms and still haven't fully recovered to be honest. I would give it some time and maybe listen to other systems before you sell / add subs or spend a lot of money on treatment/electronic...

No the CDP doesn't have inputs (that comes with the CD9). Straight from Oppo to the Preamp. I know not a 'pure' comparison still interested to see how they compare with the same recording.

Shame it costs £20 a month. I think there's a 1 month free trail. Will try it when it comes out will be interesting to compare SQ with the ARC CD8.

Why would you need a USB key ? The unit connects to the internet dont you just download the update and then access Tidel directly via the menu ?

that's exactly the point. There will always be a market for high end CDPs whilst people have sizable CD collections and decent kit. CD Players can be serviced. Why would I want to invest in a new format now ?

My opinion on the OP - there is a small market for expensive CD players and the decline of CD as a format refects what the masses are doing. I own a 'high end' CDP and have no interest in Computer Audio or Vinyl and likely never will. I bought an ARC CD8 recently for a fair wedge and very happy...

Sitting against the rear wall won't help. Fire down the length and move speakers and listening position away from the back walls.

The D28s were also downward firing. I didn't have any room treatment in that place. Are you sitting against the back wall ? It will help if you can move the sofa/ listening position out a bit (I sat against the back wall in that place)
