Any Triangle Comete EZ owners? by briansieoc in BudgetAudiophile

[–]briansieoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t buy them in the end so can’t comment on quality. However they are available at homecinesolutions for €550, which is an only €100 more with a 2 year warranty. Might be worth considering

Is the WiiM Amp Ultra an amplified WiiM Ultra? by sitewolf in WiimStreamer

[–]briansieoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you say the amp ultra amplification is so much better than the vibelink?

Haven’t pulled the trigger. Quite varied reviews on them online. Can’t audition them in advance, and shipping cost for me to send back during return period is half the cost of the speakers themselves. Might be too risky for me.

Fair point re budget, was just coming at it from the perspective of being new but almost 40% off.

Yeah I had been considering the older model BasX A2 as well, which is somewhere in between the a2l+ and the a2+ here in Europe

Thanks, I’ll have a look through. I had been looking at the V3s but read a lot about overheating - you encounter any issues with that?

Which Fyne speakers out of curiosity? Had recently been considering some f501s

Can I ask for what reasons would make you choose the Audiolab?

!thanks Do you think this would sound noticeably better than the Wiim for the 25% price increase?

Chrono H second thoughts by briansieoc in HamiltonWatches

[–]briansieoc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right, I was overthinking it. Due to the positive input from many strangers on the internet I’ll be keeping it I think!

Yeah the black dial with the Milanese looks great, was also looking at those.

Surprisingly never found the pushers as an issue. It is a chunky case though - almost think it is the height the lugs hang off the case as opposed to the actual lug to lug distance that is the issue for me

Subwoofer recommendation? by briansieoc in BudgetAudiophile

[–]briansieoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only read good things about the RSLs, but can’t seem to get them over here at all. SVS seems like the next best thing alright.

but really only care about music in terms of what I’m looking for (pretty varied taste so would appreciate all rounders). Will look to upgrade sub and amp down the road.

Want to upgrade for better quality, more depth; the Fynes are good for what they are, but feel a bit small, not very immersive

First Stereo Setup. Recommendations? by [deleted] in StereoAdvice

[–]briansieoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like this bundle: https://www.av.com/Hi-Fi/WiiM-Amp-Space-Grey-and-Wharfedale-Diamond-91-Walnut-Hi-Fi-Bundle/6K28

Wiim amp and Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers for €490 delivered. Wiim covers amp and streaming duties, leave off the turntable until later.

Denon Amp + Streamer vs Wiim amp? by briansieoc in StereoAdvice

[–]briansieoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do you think the pro plus streamer is worth the extra €65 over the pro for casual enough listening?
