yogi, I appreciate the suggestion and I’ll check audioasylum out. I’m a member on the Steve Hoffman forum as well and it’s usually void of the colorful characters on here that tend to derail a thread pretty quickly.
b_limo, as always I appreciate the thoughtful responses man. Yeah I do think the new version of this speaker will be a big improvement, if for no other reason than the functionality enhancements utilizing the new app and the new electronics on board. And I certainly like the idea of reducing cable clutter and being able to focus on just the power cables and perhaps a couple Ethernet cables. I will probably choose to hard wire them as well, to the router and possibly to each other. The tethering idea doesn’t bother me as much as it may bother others. I just got a few panels from GIK a couple weeks ago and I’ve been running the passive LS50s with a JL E-110 up to this point so I’m curious to hear how the wireless version sounds in my room. I know KEF has discussed offering discrete sub outs on this new model too with a firmware update in the future so that could be pretty interesting and one more reason to invest in another sub.
oldhvymech, I’m picking up what you’re putting down. We’re good man. Although Chuck is more like cat p*** than hot coffee for my taste profile. Lol
