What was the last bit of gear you bought in 2025?

Including new cables I have spent £4k on the 2 subwoofers. They cost including speaker cables RRP is £6.7k so I have done alright.

Look, this is not necessary at all as my system was great without! It adds better bass and widens soundstage. System sounds better and wider in my opinion.

I am not recommending it as such as it’s a very individual thing. It started as replacing a broken sub woofer on Home Theatre and has ended up as a big upgrade for me!

I can see a speaker incoming soon. Whether that is still Focal is debatable. If Focal u have to go for Utopia line. If not then u have so much choices and options. Kudos, Magico, Borresen, TAD, etc..

So tell us. What is on your mind? :smiling_face_with_horns:

Dan i envy you. I remember when i got the Rel 510 and added it to my system. What an amazing transformation. Everyone said no subwoofer could work with Quads. Rel proved them all dead wrong.

Enjoy it man.

With the muon Pro, I found myself more and more disengage with the music. Is it normal for the Ethernet Filter to sound dull at first and then improving later. It has not been the advertised 200 hours yet for sure. Just want to know other’s experience with filter.

I have the Eno2 and it sounded hard and lacked musicality for at least the first 200 hours but eventually relaxed and sounded quite natural. I thought the whole 200-300 hours burn-in was audiophile hyperbole but it really was true. Hope it settles in for you.

I liked the Dynaudio Confidence 50s I heard at Audio T.

I am not looking at changing the Focal Sopra 2s. They seem right with my set up.

I am happy with my system.

I look forward to a detailed report. Any chance of some pics of the connections? My search for speakers has focused on ATC SCM20s for now and the Rel website recommends a pair of Rel T5xs to match which are relatively cheap, so I have a nice option if I feel the need :joy:

Didn’t realise you get both blue and yellow dusters in the same pack :scream:. Dust, dust, kleen, kleen, shiny, shiny.

If you go the stacking route will you compare unstacked vs stacked? Sounds like you’re not too concerned with NDX2 performance but my concern would be stacking may impact the 252 when listening to your top notch vinyl front end.

The stacking thing is still TBD. I suppose if I stack I’ll know pretty quickly if it’s worse, neutral or better.

WOW ,fantastic !! :flexed_biceps::drum:

I have trust in Steve after hearing Nait 50. Onwards.

Keep us posted. If worse, wonder if adding some sort of isolation footer between might help the situation, such as Stack Audio Auva eq, ISO Acoustics Orea, etc

:sweat_smile:,very strange… I would go for the picture with the N50,but the N50 on the top shelf.

Update on my 2nd Rel S812:

I got an email saying it was sold already and the website was out of sync. They offered 2x S 510s instead for a very low price. I got the refund issued as then I would be selling or sending back the S 812.

I found another supplier but had to pay more. These S812s are now hard to find at a reasonable price.

Should be with me by Wednesday.

Dreams of a 6 pack array will only be possible by buying used now. I think 2 will be enough anyhow :rofl:

Very nice. NAIM NSS 333 for those who don’t know. Are you going with a 555PSDR and special cables or NPX 300 or going bare?

Moving onwards is nice to see.
