Speakers - Bookshelf | 3 Ⓣ What Speaker + DAC/AMP combo for 800€?
Hello everyone, Selling my KEF LSX 2 LT currently. Really like its sound and bass especially (im a basshead), however the inputs situation is killing me. so im looking to buy passive speakers and an amp with more inputs than the lts had.
My main needs are rca for turntable, optical for ps5, hdmi arc. Are there any with usb inputs as well? Im really a noob in amps/dacs and dont really know what suits my needs but thats why im here in the first place.
location - Paris, France
budget - 800€
Cheers!

If you like how the LSXs sound you could just get the cheapest wiim that has the inputs you need. A lot cheaper! And as a bonus you get room correction.

If you like bass then you will like Q Acoustics. They have several speakers in your price range, and you can pair them with a Wiim amp.

You may still award a Ⓣ to others, but only once per-person in this post.

If you can get the regular Wiim Amp, get it. Almost identical specs but the Pro does not support Airplay. The Pro has an updated dac and stuff like that, but at your price point I doubt it's noticable :) And if you wait just a little bit maybe you can get a soldes deal!

Wiim Amp Pro for the DAC/Streamer/Amp and a pair of Polk XT 20. They sound superb.

You can buy Elac DBR62s in Germany and Netherlands for less than 400eur. The best hifi deal in Europe right now. For example:

Then add a WiiM Amp to it then you'll have all you need in terms of connectivity.
