If you’re looking at getting better 2.1 sound, get a used Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated. I have the smaller brothers the Focal 1008be2’s and the Bluesound node 2. And the PM gives me a wonderful presentation. It also has a home theater bypass (so it works as just an amp) and sub out, so you can use it in conjunction with you current setup. Look for one used, I got mine for 2k. I also have a Bifrost multibit, and though there is a difference between its output and the analogue out of the Bluesound, it’s not much. I had an Emotiva set up (amps only) and when I went to a tube integrated amp it blew the Emotiva away. Good luck. |
