    IMHO marketing slogans like the one on the AE site “Buh-bye, speaker cables. Hello, wireless audio with CD-like quality stereo sound” are a bit of a stretch - while you may indeed be able to skip messy speaker cables running across spaces, you end up with a bunch of power chords with clunky...

    Modern substitute for Yamaha R-2000

    It seems like the main issue with the R-N1000A and up is, according to experts testing/measuring them, the noise level of their amp section? But that’s just based on random Google searches. I’m not a tech so I don’t know how much of that really translates to audible noise or distortion anyway...

    Modern substitute for Yamaha R-2000

    Yep - it looks good and sounds good on paper - but the reviews I read aren’t great. Considering the price tag I expected them to live up to something like the pin quality of an R-2000. But maybe some of you here had better experiences

    Compact powered book shelve speakers

    The AE adapters are very intriguing! I have a couple questions if you don’t mind: Looks like they can do WiFi (not just Bluetooth), right? I’m assuming it requires an AE transmitter and AE receiver - I wouldn’t be able to use a Wiim as a transmitter (attached to my old receiver’s out) and...

    Thank you. Was wondering about the AE adapters. I’ll loo into that.

    Modern substitute for Yamaha R-2000

    Is there a modern receiver with WiFi and transmitting abilities that is comparable in sound quality (and possibly looks) to a vintage Yamaha R-2000 (or a CR-2040)? I do have a Wiim Pro Plus that I currently use as a DAC and for streaming - but I’d like to add the ability to wirelessly (ideally...

    Compact powered book shelve speakers

    I currently run a bunch of Minimus 7 speakers in a large, open space. They serve as secondary speakers and are driven by a vintage R-2000 ( for the mains I use a pair of Q500 plus a 12” Klipsch sub). I’d like to replace the M7s with powered and/or WiFi speakers as I want to go wireless for the...

    Using Wiim Pro Plus timer to trigger other devices

    Maybe I can use the Wiim's standby settings in the App. If not, worst case, I'll just leave the Wiim running in play/streaming mode when I listen to other sources during the day. Since all my sources are going to the receiver, once I switch to other sources, the sound coming from the Wiim will...

    Using Wiim Pro Plus timer to trigger other devices

    cpt-paranoia, while waiting for all the parts to be shipped, I have a follow-up question. With the risk of sounding super silly: When you have this all set up, how do you switch between Wiim-timed, Wiim-controlled and regular use of the receiver(s) - like during the day when you just want to...

    Using Wiim Pro Plus timer to trigger other devices

    Jayvis: I have two old school receivers connected, and 2 speakers and a sub wired to the main receiver, and 6 speakers in other rooms wired to the other receiver. I want to use the Wiim’s wake-up and sleep timer functions, so that when the Wiim starts streaming, all the receivers and the sub...
