I’ve had mine since January’24, and would urge you to rob a bank today or tomorrow. Meridian just released a firmware update that catapults them even higher into the stratosphere. Fabulous performance!

I don’t think I have posted my main system. I feel like I hit the sweet spot of price and performance. As someone who has the LS50’s as well, I cannot say how much better the Ref 1’s are. My roon server/NUC is in a closet.

The streamer looks great!

Thanks. They are plugged. I have an Australian Shepherd who is active and I don’t want any way for him to go behind and catch a cable.
Agree on that streamer. Do you have a build thread?
The eversolo streamers also look awesome! I hadn’t seen them before.
I have to say I love the aesthetics that we’re seeing in new stereo systems.

Agree. My good friend actually bought the Eversolo and it was just too much for what he needed. So as a good friend, I offered to take it off his hands. At a slight discount of course.

WOW KEF REFERENCE & MICHI, if I move place, I’m going to get that! For now, I have a humble ROTEL A14 MKII with KEF R5 as I live in a small apartment.

I think a few more amps might be required

I’ve made a few modifications since the Nucleus One joined the “crew”.
If anyone is curious here’s the REW curve

I’ve made some major changes to my system over the last few months, I posted my last system here Previous System. The new old speakers, streamer, amplification has been replaced by KEF LS50II Wireless speakers and an improved headphone set-up.

Can you tell us which peace of music this is, so that we can test out system with exactly the same fragment?
By the way, your system sounds great.
Kind regards, Frank.

The room treatment is already substantially done. First reflection points taken care of by a big shag pile rug on the floor and a mixture of absorption and diffusion on the walls and ceilings.
Compared to our last house, it’s much more symmetrical and less live, so despite a much better soundstage, it sounds a little flat. A remeasure and tweak to the crossovers next.
