I got mine 4 days ago, no problems with hub so far. I'm impressed with the sound and how low they can go. Would measure in room response in a few days.

I've probably had mine for a year and I do not use hub

If it were me, I would go for the D&D. There are many great reviews. It's the lower risk alternative although somewhat more expensive.

There's no reason for that ... I'm just driving up to their demo room and playing

Since when do I need a reason?

Great. Did they make any announcement about the MT 2.0 hotfix? It was supposed to arrive "Very soon" in July... Then "October, sure!". Today is October 31 and they went silent.

They really need to fix existing products before trying to sale/release new ones.

It's not. WISA/Hub on Buchardt A series is a total mess. Avoid. They still sound stellar wired, tho. I've now paired my A500 with Matrix Mini Pro i3 and I only began to enjoy using my speakers

I am very much hesitating to order A500s with the Platin Hub or the Primare or nothing... can anyone comment on the Hub stability? I have read here and there that stability is not its best asset. Is it still so bad?

 

[VintageFlanker]

Is it still so bad?

It always has been and still is. Take the Primare or nothing.

Anecdotal, but I had the A500 + Platin Hub for a few weeks with no issues.

Why only for few weeks?

Are we sure that primare is stable enough?

 

[barjohn]

Everyone says the Primare is more stable with WISA than the Platin Hub, yet it uses the same Platin transmitter so I am not sure why that would be the case.
