@@Peter-Tyson . . . Thanks a lot for the answer. I would love to Connect my Beolab 18/19 directly. But loosing the bass management in Transmitter 1 is not an option ☹️
No, Beosound A5 does not need an external streamer they have it built in already. Core and A5 will join together using multi room if that's what you mean?
I owned a Muso gen 1 and sold it because the bass was really overpowering for a small room. Then I picked up a QB2 and now have the opposite problem, not enough bass for my tastes at low to mid volume levels which I find really strange considering it has a dedicated 100w woofer. It is a lovely sounding speaker other than that. I since picked up two Denon Home 350s for a better stereo image and they also fill in the missing bass at low volumes. I use all three speakers together over airplay and the sound is really very pleasing to my ears!
Great review! I am choosing between a used bronze 200 and oberon 5 for my living room. Out of curiosity, what exactly is the weakness of the bronze comparing to oberon? Would the height of oberon 5 tweeter a problem to reach the ear level?
It has Google Chromecast built in for streaming music but not a voice assistant. Because it has Chromecast you can add a voice assistant by linking a Google Nest Mini or one of the Google Nest Hub smart displays and setting the Naim as the default music speaker. - John
I have the cornwall IV. Amazingly good speakers. They can play loud but they can play soft for late nite listening without losing any quality....such a good speaker.
Hi, and thanks! You would have to use a PL splitter / switch to connect multiple speakers and the Beolab 19. It's a shame the Core only has one PL output! - John
How do you think I feel playing with this stuff everyday? If it wasn't for the fact I have bills, I'd let Peter Tyson pay me in hi-fi equipment! - John
Hi, excellent analysis! Thank you for your honesty. I am planning to set up my first hi-fi with the oberon 5 which I like aesthetically. my question is which amplifier fits best? i am among Cambridge Audio CXA61, Arcam A5, Marantz Stereo 70’s and DENON PMA-900NE. I had the opportunity to listen to only the Oberon 7 and 3 with the CXA61 and while I liked the 3, the 7 seemed annoyingly uncontrollable in the bass for a small/medium size room like mine.
Hi and thanks. I've not heard the Cambridge Audio so can't comment. I have spent a lot of time with the Arcam A5, A15 and A25, with all sorts of speakers, all are excellent. The Marantz and Denon are both solid units too although I've not heard them with Oberon 5. - John
Solid looking speakers and nice first look video. Will you be updating the video with a more concise listening impression? Also can multiple bluetooth devices be paired with the m40s at one time?
Hard to believe my Thiel and Bang & Olufsen speakers will be 36 years old next week, with my 20 year old Linn gear, as I enjoy them as much today as when I bought them new in 1988. The audio industry is fortunate to have a base of hobbyists who chase sound and are constantly buying / upgrading about every 18 months on average and spend a small fortune in the process. I am grateful this niche market exists for all involved but I am not one of them. I buy good gear once and enjoy it until it can no longer be repaired, if needed? To me, its really all about the music, which I chase every Friday, when it releases.
I’ve been a Linnie since the early 80’s. Their new gear is totally awesome but way beyond my budget. Nonetheless I still so enjoy my LK140’s + 85 + Kolektor systems (3) every day with non Linn speakers. Cheers!!
Hi, I've not heard the current bookshelf AE speakers so it wouldn't be fair to comment. I have only spent time with the AE Corinium (very nice indeed). - John
Only the top 1% and they are too busy making money to listen to music. The real genius in this hobby is to assemble and present audio systems that the other 99% can easily afford and enjoy.
I know what you mean, a clean vinyl like that copy of Dark Side of The Moon I had in the video can sound lovely but given the choice I'd choose streaming personally. - John
I recently played " Crystal Ball Carolin No Topic " through both my TV and my stereo system. The bass blew out my TV speakers. They are shot. WOW it was incredible. The bass was fantastic. Fortunately my stereo speakers survived. I built them myself back in 1978. They each contain one 15" woofer, two mid-range dome drivers, and four dome tweeters, plus each having a Aperion Audio MKII Planar-Ribbon Super Tweeter on top. The entire room shook. WOW !
