Hi

i have PC (Windows 10) using it for HTPC to watch movies , youtube , etc.
and also with Jriver to play music
i don't have a CD player , only audio files from the computer.

i have also Lumin A1 , i thought to try eliminate the need of computer to play music
but ending never use it (too complicate to setup and it's easier to choose audio files i have in folder in the computer)

Vitus SM-101 amps
RD-100 Pre / DAC
Focal Maestro
Cardas clear XLR and speakers cables


nothing wrong with the Maestro
i like their "full body" sound
great bass
but i never compare them to other speakers at their lever or higher level
listen at CES to Focal Grande for few minutes , didn't got the Wow affect i thought it will be.

what speakers should consider?

Thanks
 
Avantgarde Trios with bass horns

Restored Apogees if you don't mind big door like panels sticking out a few meters into the room.

Stenheim Alumine 5 or YG Hailey if you want WAF and a good sound, more expensive.

don't buy anything, listen to all of these as each has a different representation so you know what you are looking for. All will work with your Vitus, have different budget points

I think you should listen, all different sounds, so then you know which one you relate to. You won't like all of them that's for certain while each one will have its fan. If you state which city you are located in, maybe people on this forum can suggest where to audition
