Thanks for your nice review. Which bookshelf speaker will be good match with Marantz model M1? I would like to pair M1 with B&W 707 S3 bookshelf speakers but I am not sure if that will be appropriate match. What is your opinion about this?

Marantz model is for someone who prefers more traditional brands and/or has extra money to spend. By the way wiim just upgraded its app to include room correction - so far only for apple users but seems android is just a few weeks away. It's available in all their products except the mini.

@@MadAudiofficial i said "and/ or has extra money to spend" so cost is implied. From what you say in the end i get the wiim is overall the best for what you pay, or did i get it wrong? It's the first you mention when you make your conclusion. I have no doubt the Marantz sounds better than the wiim (i never said otherwise) but it's hard to believe overall, when taking into account also software and features, the marantz is worth almost 3 times what the wiim costs. And i think the pro version will reduce the gap even further. Just my opinion and also somehow based on yours.

Is Tidal available on release? I am interested in the M1, and I am sure it is quite a lot better than the WiiM which is a fairly low bar. Looking in to the WiiM I can't put it on any list. If the pro has the same amp, I would be skeptical to any improvements. The M1 though at $1500 CDN must pack a lot considering there are few physical controls/inputs/outputs. Specs look relatively good. I look forward to hearing more about it.

I’m a big fan of Focal sound. Incredible detail, tonal accuracy and dynamic presence. With their Flax drivers you will experience a touch of warmth to their otherwise lively and engaging sound. Their speakers have good height and width but lacks a bit of depth. That’s why I have Sonus Faber as my secondary speakers because they are the masters of sound stage and imaging. I have Focal Aria 926 and Sonus Faber Lumina V.
