Zu audio
Any Zu owners listened to Wharfedale, KEF or Rega speakers to compare? 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
Regarding Loki@simna I guess everyone’s system is different!important to get matching ICs and to leave it on - it takes a while to warm up that magic sound.  
Decent DAC/Streamer
The Arcam rPlay would be a good all-in-one solution for you. It is, in fact, a DAC (@sfar) but does not have wired digital inputs, only wireless (hence streamer) inputs.   I’d look out for one used!

+1 wolf_garcia, Gardnrbob. The Schiit Loki EQ box is the answer. Seriously you don’t need new speakers. Just put this magic box in the loop, play with the knobs for a few minutes, and listen to the 3D soundstage emerge from your system at low volu... 
Integrated under 1k (hopefully 500) for Wharfedale Dentons & Snell
Yamaha A-S801sounds awesome with my Wharfedale diamond 10.7s and 220s. Sounded like I got new speakers when i put it in.  
New speakers? No thanks.
That Volvo sounds system looks legit!im still driving a ‘98 XC70. Great tape deck.  
KEF Q350 with a Yamaha r-s202 receiver?
Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary might be a smoother speaker for older ears. Same price bracket 
On-Wall Speakers - anyone have the Elac OW4.2?
Incase anyone finds this thread - the ELAC’s sound nice!  But they definitely need a sub. The tweeter sounds great - reaches different/higher tonal highs than the wharfdales. However they were a little fatiguing to my ears. And if I didn’t have th... 
Volume Control for second set of speakers
@wolf_garcia yeah my dad had one for the dining room speakers when we were growing up. Not sure what happened to it...the speaker connection is unfamiliar to me - do you think these Lil Piggies would connect properly?https://www.parts-express.com/...

Would there be any way to run the B speakers through the Schiit SYS?https://www.schiit.com/products/sys

Volume Control for second set of speakers
Also my speaker wire is 10AWG - this accepts maximum of 14AWG - could I use speaker pin connectors? 
Volume Control for second set of speakers
@pratorious yes that is perfect thank you and what I was looking for!And this will not degrade the signal?   
Volume Control for second set of speakers
Thanks SpatialKing. Unfortunately my Integrated doesn’t have pre-outs. It’s a Yamaha A-S801. My first thought was to add a second integrated but it seems like I cannot  I’m confused, why wouldn’t this monoprice box in the speaker wire run not work? 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
@10000_hz_legend hey man - was wondering where you are at in your speaker quest?also curious what amp you’re using? I have the 10.7s too and I really like them - but also noticed that the more power I give them the more noticeably tighter and refi...
