I hope that is jokingly? I have to balance every purchase with what her needs and wants will be. She has no problem giving me whatever I want, it's just reciprocal.Not correct in my experience. And a sexist remark.

It didn’t read like humor.Sigh. Is there no room for humor.
My wife has complimented all my speakers over the years as excellent. All of them. The reason is very simple: she wants me to keep them for as long as possible and not overspend on speakersMy wife listens to music with me all weekend. She appreciates well produced sound as much as I do. Her opinion is important when we audition speakers that may go in our room.
That is the problem with written communication it cannot display intent. I will try to be more careful.It didn’t read like humor.
That's it??? Did you get your amp? Well??While waiting for the Benchmark I am trying to make the best use of the miniDSP SHD.
Volumio needs a very good wireless network. I added an extender and it works flawlessly. However, despite the time spent reading everywhere the Ethernet connection to my XFi Comcast Pod (gen-2/latest) doesn't seem to work. Will try again on the weekend.
Anyway Volumio and Qobuz work well together; no complaints.

Active speakers always scare me a little. What happens if you have a malfunction with the amp (most likely)? The entire speaker + amp have to be returnedI received the AHB2 - wire with gain. Very impressive. It drives the Perlisten with ease. A couple of times I listened to max (0 db on SHD) to metal and electronic music. Very clear, very crisp, and frightening loud.
I know this site appreciates Genelec most yet I am happy I went with Perlisten and not Genelec. Good looking in black piano, high dynamics, and just end game speakers. I had someone who was looking at the Perlisten come over for an audition. He was either very impressed - or excessively polite.
I moved my speakers in the room 6 times - a couple of inches every time. The sound is great, I was just trying different toe-ins and distances between the speakers.
After I bought the Perlisten my Stax SR009 headphones literally gather dust.
Not sure there is much left to say Dirac + Perlisten + AHB2 is as good as I ever listened to. After having them for a few weeks I'd say the best sound I've listened to subjectively (no blind A-B with the Genelecs).
That was not one of my reasons to go for Perlisten. I believe Genelec builds quality amps.Active speakers always scare me a little. What happens if you have a malfunction with the amp (most likely)? The entire speaker + amp have to be returned
You do have a great setup. Enviously so.That was not one of my reasons to go for Perlisten. I believe Genelec builds quality amps.
The most important reason to go for separates IMO is the (P)EQ for the room. I like having the liberty to choose and change what software I use, how I measure, etc. Dirac seems to be great. However I might try Trinnov at some point.
Once you have a great speaker the biggest difference is in the room EQ and room treatment.
What I secured with my setup is an end game speaker and amp. The fact the room equalization is not baked in is paramount to me.
Maybe I misunderstand but why would you not be able to use PEQ with actives ?That was not one of my reasons to go for Perlisten. I believe Genelec builds quality amps.

I was implying Genelec the Ones - the only other speaker I would have considered (since GME is unobtanium in California)Maybe I misunderstand but why would you not be able to use PEQ with actives ?
I will tell what I believe I heard.Glad you're fully enjoying your new setup.
Any chance you compare the AHB2 to the QUAD Artera Solus ? (any audible difference)
GME? Not MEG, Geithain?
