Thank you!

Would love to hear that setup!

Given that all of our ideas seem to be coming from the world of SciFi entertainment we’ve probably already written how this all ends.

I’m a bit of a simpleton. If it’s creators are having an ”oh shit, what did we do moment” we should probably listen. Not worried about AI on it’s own…more worried about who/what it’s being fed.

Uhh…see that thing wrapped around the base of the lamp? That’s part of the speaker cable bud! :p They’re DIY FWIW but I’ve been eyeing up a shorter pair of Kimber 12TC. Here’s a better view:

I mean they’re not as good as my R11s in NM at twice the price but…if you‘ve already made the deal you should be very happy. KEFs R series are a well designed, good sounding line of speakers.

There’s absolutely still room for a preamp in 2023 for those of us with numerous digital and analog sources. Many modern preamps also have competent DACs built in and can offer things like DRC that most DACs do not.

That’s a killer deal If that’s the case! I’m pushing 300W through my Reference 3 in a much smaller room. I can’t imagine that you’re clipping with your Levinson but if you’re running them full range (without subs) at high volume levels more power can be better.

Gear in signature.

Like anything else you can get as crazy as you’d wish with coffee. Fresh beans + right grind + right temp gets me all I need. I ended up with two separate Breville units - a grinder and their entry-level espresso machine. Dialing in the grind between different coffees can be frustrating but...

Feels like we need more info from the OP. #channels, associated equipment, etc.

Meta meh. A little disappointed that there's not more to differentiate them from the outgoing R series, even different aesthetics (other than the two new options) would have been welcome. I was awaiting this announcement to see if it'd be a worthwhile upgrade but alas it is not. I will...

@FrantzM all good points! I've chosen speakers with decent directivity and multiple subs. The integrated amp I've chosen to work with has a solid DAC and phono stage along with excellent bass management and room correction facilities. They're not SOTA but I'm hoping they're good enough to add...

I get the theory behind it but in my experience and in simply looking at others setups there are so many variables at play that I feel this theoretical measurement is useless. We've all got rooms of differing dimensions and constructed of different materials. We place different speakers and...
