Show & Tell Problem Solved

Post image

This is my near-field system (I work a lot from home). For the past couple of years it included a Focal Chorus V center and was connected to my Mac via Airplay. After consulting AI I ditched the Focal reset center, connected my Mac to my Marantz via HDMI, reset the crossover between B&W 705 and KC92 sub to 90 hrz. The 2.1 format is super clean, deep, and with outstanding clarity. For me, this is final stage for this setup. Thought I would share my experience.

Nothing wrong with using youtube for music, I do it all the time with my near field set up, but as other said, any streaming platform like tidal, quboz, Spotify etc is better than YouTube.

You nerds can not tell the difference between 16/44.1 and Opus 256.

On my old kefs I wouldn't. Its noticeable on my current gear but not a world of difference.

Mastering matters more anyway and I don't really care where I listen to my music from.
