I’m often reminded how much I love the Roon->Qobuz Hi-Res->KEF speaker setup in the home office. I’ll have music playing while I work and suddenly I’ll hear some detail in a song I didn’t remember hearing before. It makes me stop, turn, and just listen for a while. It’s nice.
@jack I’ve been looking with interest at those speakers since you mentioned them initially. Do you connect the pair together with a network cable, and then connect to your Roon Core wirelessly? Do they need a really strong signal? The others I have looked at are the B&O Formation Flex but they are nearly the same price once you buy a pair.
@bsag They don't need to be connected together at all, but can be via an ethernet cable. Some claim they sound better that way but I'm sure I wouldn't notice. They appear as an endpoint automatically in Roon. Not sure about signal strength. Seems like that would be a factor but I haven't had any issues with my setup.
@jack Thanks, that’s helpful. I will mull over whether I can justify the money. Though I currently spend way longer at my desk than in front of my fancy hifi setup in the living room so...
@bsag Note that some people in the Roon forums claim to have intermittent connection issues with the KEFs. I've had the connection fail just once, and the unplug-and-plug-back-in thing fixed it and everything has worked great sense. YMMV of course.
