Maybe this revelation calls for a new thread....<<
My second system in the basement "man-cave" is a Bluesound Powernode 2, Elac B5 speakers, and leftover 1990s-era XLO speaker cables. Similarly, I am constantly amazed at how good it sounds. Sure, there is nowhere near the detail and air of my main system, but still pretty damn good for a fraction of the cost. It is making me re-think how I will approach future audio purchases and upgrades.
