Can you throw up a photo or two of everything you're running? Hullo mate, hope all is well for you and yours big fella, as follows- have moved the subs to fire each side of the LP using the REL Longbow wireless system, this works really well. You might be able to see the units and the DSPeaker device on the bookshelf. ROON Nucleus powered by the very nice Keces P8 running standard USB cable to the Ayon Stratos. This is the next area of experimentation. The mighty JBL 4367's- The JC1's never moved and never will, PS Audio P3 regenerating for the front end components only. Little JBL soundbar does telly duties nicely. @scuzzii the headphones fit right in Edit- no the telly is staying, there is nothing wrong with it Edited June 7, 2020 by Darren69 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have both I/C's and SC's by them yes. Let us know how they fit sound wise into your place can ya , im getting dizzier by the day with all the options for my new stuff . Hey brother Lozza, it is so hard to describe how something sounds but for me they really suit my system, the bring a real sense of refinement to the JBL's whilst still allowing that JBL liveliness and feeling of 'being there'...perfect...I cant speak for Goran but maybe he might have some demo versions you could try?

I've missed a couple of things there. Very interesting with the subbies firing either side, I like it. Love the Ayon gear too, I'll have considerations for it when I upgrade the digital side of things. Those Parasounds were a great pick-up, and brilliant you saved them as well.

A different sound yes, but one I like. I think I commented some pages back but in a nutshell, it became apparent to me that all I have done is create a supercharged version of the system I grew up with . I would like to hear what a JC2 pre might do within this setup but that’s about it. The chance will come no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
