    I am up the street from Naperville. I don't understand the speakers though, they don't have stands? I also don't have an HT. 2 channel only.

    The wife hates powering up the two channel, so I set up the Volumio Primo for her. I do not use it at all and still prefer Roon. I have an older Bufflao NAS with the music on it. I programmed the NAS to shut down in off hours and the primo reconnects by itself when NAS is back online. The Primo connects to a Polk Audio miDock. Volumio app on her android controls it. It has worked flawlessly so far.

    I did connect it to my two-channel system via RCA to try the onboard DAC. It sounded OK. IMO it is not audiophile quality. I did not try USB out to my DAC. Ed has three and loves them. @ESavinon

    Cool When i went back to look they were sold out, but I know where to get them if I wanted. I am still running an Innuos Zen MK3 but, I have a friend who is just getting his feet wet into the digital realm and I thought maybe it might be a good fit for him. Or a bluesound node. Just something that will sound better than a computer speaker. He is running Ohm walsh 4 and cd's but no dac. On his HT, he was surprised at the sound of Qobuz running Bluetooth from my cell to his Onkyo HT receiver that he is now willing to get his feet wet into a streaming service.

    Trying to get him going on a starter where he can upscale and not break the bank at the same time.

    They mount to the wall and pivot out.

    According to the ad they need replacement deflation foam. Maybe @VR3 can make new pieces from felt?

    My first serious pair of speakers were Infinity Quantum 3’s. They sounded great for the humble set up I pushed through them. These must be monsters. Mine were 50” tall and a 100 pounds each. Peace. Dzmutsrvj6hnt.jpeg

    I've expanded my Facebook Marketplace to reach 500 miles and :o, my God there are a ton of cool old audio and speaker gems for sale for pretty low and fair pricing too.

    It's like a huge purge of audio gear and speakers is happening again. ;)

    I'd post a ton of what I see BUT it seemed a year ago nobody was commenting on what we posted on this thread.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Bend is where I picked up my B&K Reference 50 pre/pro. There's a guy there that is a home theater installer that is given the old stuff when rich people upgrade. He resells pretty cheap just to move it quickly. This might be him.
