Replaced old system and went with elacs and emotiva brands. very good sound for the buck. found a used blue sound node 2 and finally joined the 21 century.
I have my Spatial M1 7 feet from the front wall. The soundstage is huge Spatial Audio just came out with a new line of open baffle speakers that are very reasonably priced. A friend of mine purchased a pair for half the price of his other speakers and couldn't be happier. I drive mine with a 8watt 300B.
