• Hi Audio people - I'm moving into a new flat next month. The living room space is 3.3 x 4.5 metres. Solid brick walls, and polished floorboards. It's a small flat overall, in a block of 4 and we're upstairs.

    What I'd like to do is put together a stereo for the living room that sounds full, dynamic and engaging and effortless - at lower volumes. I wont be able to wind it up to hear the high fidelity...

    It also needs to be simple, have wi-fi to connect to NAS and also connect to a TV via optical.

    I haven't researched this stuff for ages so I'm wondering where to start for the amplifier/streamer and then the speakers.

    First thought is something like:

    Connected to a pair of B&W 606 - these are the first speakers that come to mind.

    I do have existing stuff - a pair of KRIX Acoustix and a NAD C320Bee - problem is that this pairing requires volume to sound any good at all.

    Other things to consider is that I'm in Aus so less access to the more interesting smaller UK based brands. Also budget.... not a lot...

    What should be on my radar?

  • Even better, you linked to the cheaper version . Under budget! Now how to I go and audition under lockdown?

  • I like this:

    Music signals can enter the LSX wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX or 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band WiFi—or wired via RJ45 Ethernet, TosLink optical, or its 3.5mm line-level analog jack.
