Re: Do low power amps sound better than more powerful ones?

Always fancied a Church conversion with a vaulted ceiling, humongous living room and some big JBL’s with enough oomph behind them to make the local think the organ is still working, How big a church and how big an amp do you think you would need?

If I had a larger room, or inefficient speakers then I would absolutely need more power!

It’s not just you, I had a pair of A40’s and subsequently bought the AP10P for the bedroom. the AP10 driving the same speakers as the A40s was preferred.

Currently have an 80W NAD amplifier (streamer box o tricks) but honestly considering a lower power amp as I just find them engaging / fun.

Amazon Music is good and cheap, Tidal gets messy as most of the hires stuff is MQA and then you need the hardware / DAC that is compatible.

As for a budget streamer have a look at the Wiim mini streamer.

Edit… I actually use Bluesound hardware.

Re: A Preview of the NEW CUBES and more

I never did buy them but saw them in the flesh with Cubes on top. Only reason for not buying them was at the time we had a Victorian fireplace with alcoves at the side and Richard’s said the placement of the Cubes in the alcoves would not be good.

Re: Feck this, I've had enough.

Just been chilling on the sofa with our newborn son, listening to Agnes Obel on a Sonos Beam (sound bar) and at no time was I thinking about audio quality, just enjoying the moment.
