He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
