I got a good deal on a pair or W3 transmitter/receiver. I'll start with that nad see how it goes. It's now about deciding on the active, powered speakers. It's a large open space, not a desktop situation, so studio monitors may not be great as they're meant for near field applications. For a...

I just got a set of W3s for a third their retail price and want to give it a go. I still can’t decide which active or powered speakers to get. According to the reviews I read the sound quality of the KEF LS50 and LSX series seems unbeatable for their size, but when it comes to connectivity and...

Well, I’m assuming you don’t have much to complain about with your current setup. Very impressive.

So then, what’s your current setup and what would be your dream setup?

Are you saying the Wiims are currently still more prone to latency than the AE W3s? All speakers reside in the same large, open space, the remote speakers are only slightly obstructed. The subwoofer is close to the mains, tucked under a staircase, but still helps a tiny bit with the lower end...

I figured I'll attach a quick drawing showing what I try to do and what I wonder if it can be done with the Wiims (Scenario 1) or the AE W3s (Scenario 2). Keep in mind that this is done with my lack of knowledge, it may be weirdly complicated and overkill, if not impossible, not sure. But I hope...

So the latency in the scenario you describe here occured when you (for example) used the CD player and drove speakers wired to the receiver and remote wireless speakers at the same time? The CD player was hooked directly to the receiver (or went through the Pro's DAC first? I'm assuming you had...

I have a vintage receiver wired to a pair of floor standers and a sub for the mains. I want to add a set of powered remote speakers and make them wireless (WiFi not Bluetooth). I’d like to play mains and remotes at the same time. So I basically need a transmitting device attached to the...

Very good advice. Thank you! I may keep my R-2000 and upgrade to a good integrated at some point. I’m now contemplating between either adding another Wiim Pro Plus to the R-2000 out and a Mini to the powered remote speakers, or getting a set of Audioengine W3 adapters instead. Food for separate...

What I’m still a bit confused about is this: “While you can transmit what you play on your receiver over Airplay or WiiM’s connect app to another WiiM or Airplay device using the analog input, you can’t have simultaneous synchronized playback on the local system. With the AE transmit/receive...

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...

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...

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

Good point, thank you!

Great! Thank you

Great! Thank you!

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.

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...

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...

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...

Has anyone experience with converting wired, powered speakers to wireless?

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...
