A very nice report Bart, thanks for sharing.

Great report. Feel like I was there. I'm interested in that Naim Mu-So! Does it really sound good? Thinking about an office system.

[Down Under]

Great pictures and reporting.
Your vignettes are to the point and interesting-looking forward to the next instalment.

Great report; much appreciated!

I envy folks who have a deep enough room in a residential setting that allows them to position speakers this far out from the rear wall if that's what's required for optimal performance...

Next room: Sonos.



I had never heard Sonos before.
Should I be ashamed of myself?
We listened to the small speaker, which sounded... small. But considering the cost (220€) in fact quite decent.
Then the bigger one box speaker: 800€ can provide a lot of decibels for a bathroom, or even a terrace party. But a Zeppelin sounds a lot more refined.
The stereo speakers sell for 1100€ per pair and emit a comparable sound.

Next room introduced a new brand.
They make sound bars that fit your TV or screen, and also subs and on-wall flat transducers.



The bar above costs 3500€ (sub included I think) and sounded dreadful.
For that amount of money there are much better alternatives should you desire a soundbar.
I blissfully forgot the name of the company.
