It can also connect to Bluetooth headphones so your listening experience can continue sensitively after dark. 

Hi-res audio is included with high resolution digital audio inputs included.

Like any ARCAM integrated amplifier, we pay particular attention to the built in phono stage to ensure your records sound as lush and engaging as possible.

Wanted to love it but didn’t. Lacks dynamics compared to similar priced Emotiva Differential amp. Lacks dynamics and bass imo. At low volume sounds good. I listen loud.

These speakers were the perfect fit for my Atmos speakers in my 7.1.2 newly finished home theater. They not only have a high power handling rating, they have a very balanced, smooth sound. I have been so impressed with them that I purchased two more pairs to be used in other areas of our home. Highly recommended.

Bluesound Node Icon Reference Music Streamer Open Box
Peter

Excellent . Had a bit of an issue with the wireless connectivity but sorted that out with my service provider. Did open a case with Bluesound support which was good overall but they really did not attempt to troubleshoot. Just sent me some links . Back to the Node Icon a great streamer have used Quboz and Apple Music no issue and HI Res music is great on my vintage Marantz 2220 and Goldenear BRX speakers. I highly recommend the Node Icon. Also excellent experience with Safe and Sound quick delivery and will buy again from Safe and Sound.

JBL Arena 55IW Dual 5.25-Inch In-Wall Speaker (Each)
RMB

I had to build a wall to put the JBL Arena 55IWs in. After doing so I am very impressed. They measure very well, with no notable issues at the crossover point of the woofers and tweeter; and with them being in walls, they address a lot of boundary related issues in the 80-300hz region, this makes subwoofer integration better as well.
Thanks to Safe and Sound for the quick shipping and great price on these.
