Any chance there's a white paper with measurements coming for the new Ci Meta (R and Reference series) speakers?

The Pioneer VSX-LX805 already has options for Single or Multi Sub DLBC along with it's Onkyo and Integra siblings (since June, 2023). Hopefully ART to come sometime in 2024.

Unfortunately, he didn't test it in it's vertical orientation.

I've always been genuinely impressed with SONOS speakers (for what they are). I've recommended them to many friends that aren't OCD about audio, but want good sound. I've sold and installed a number of SONOS systems as well through my integration company. I've heard the Five set up as a stereo...

The THD+N @ 5 watts into 4 ohms in that graph looks atrocious. I hope @amirm gets his hands on one soon to put it through it's paces.

I actually checked in my system today, and I'm getting the same thing. I tried some streaming DD+ content and also a DTS-HD concert.

Dang, I was looking at picking up an APA1200DSP until I saw this review. Guess I'm going to try a bridged Hypex NC502MP instead (1000 watts @ 4 Ohms, 1200 watts @ 8 Ohms). Small package, no fans... I'll add a miniDSP 2x4 HD or Flex for the low end boost and subsonic filter (18" subwoofer in a...

If you have the latest firmware installed, the setting is definitely available in the CI web configuration tool. I can't remember if it's available in the app or the physical GUI or not.

I haven't tried it yet, since I'm still using the internal amps to power everything. Are you saying that when you turn the "front" amps off, that they're still powering the speakers?

Is this the same inter-sample peak distortion that is present in the C658 or something different?

Is there a consensus best "budget" USB-C phone dongle DAC to go with a pair of these?

Agreed! I'm anxiously anticipating a review from @amirm (or at least the Onkyo or Pioneer variant).

Woohoo! My entire house is Roon Ready, so this has been killing me...

The 3160s are many generations old, released in 2014. They were based on the previous R Series (R100, R300, R500, R700, R900) The new updated meta models should be quite a bit better.

This is great!! I'm excited to start installing some of these for clients. Quite certain they'll be objectively the very best that's available in their price range.

I used mine as stands. I did use a decoupling layer between the subwoofers and the speakers, but they were excellent!

I absolutely loved my pair of FM8's. I sold them off as my system moved in another direction (more of an all purpose Media Room system with JBL Synthesis speakers & gear). I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair for a dedicated 2 channel system sometime in the future.

The M66 appears to be the most interesting next gen 2 channel device that I'm aware of. There's the Trinnov Amethyst which is also interesting (but only 4 channels of output and $$$$$). Those that are more budget minded might get similar performance (to the M66) out of a miniDSP SHD stacked...

Me neither. The only bug I've found is that when I play music via Roon (AirPlay) or Spotify Connect, it breaks the eARC integration with my LG G1 and the DRX no longer responds to IP commands via Control4. Afterwards, I have to reconnect ARC via the TV menu and the unit responds to IP...
