Good quality wireless, active speakers ??

I have a SONOS system, with 2 small speakers, for our casual setup.  I can move the speakers to the basement, garage, or kitchen and listen to streaming music.  It is awesome and I love the convenience.
The speakers sound nice for what they are but, are not audiophile quality.

 My dilemma is my main 2ch system.  I have a Nuprime IDA-8 integrated amp driving large speakers.
They were great in our large old house but, we downsized and moved into a smaller house this summer and the rooms are much smaller and running speaker cables from the amp will not be nice looking at all.
I'd love to replicate something like the SONOS speaker system for my main 2ch system but, would like better audio quality.  Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thx,
Rob

Hi, albireo13,

If I was in your situation I would check out the KEF LS50 Wireless. I’m looking forward to the user/professional reviews. It looks to be an outstanding value; streamer, DAC, amplification with 230 watts.

Cheers,

Scott

Audioengine models get consistent high praise and offer good value. I’ve heard them and liked them.

Dynaudio Xeo another I would exxpect very good results with but have not heard.

This is an emerging category of products worth keeping an eye on and expect many more options in the near future as well.

I have a Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio Bluetooth speaker that was very affordable and is just awesome for its size and cost.   I'd love to be able to run a stereo pair though somehow.

Meridian has been a leader in actives for decades. Personally, I'd reprioritize. Cheers,
