I sold my Phantom golds and bought the Boenicke W5 stand mount speakers. I'm thinking of trying the new Expert 140 PRO since I want AirPlay.
I've searched the forum and it seems that a few of you own Boenicke speakers. What do you say about the W5 + 140 PRO match? Will they play nice together, have you tried a similar combo?
Since my budget is quite stretched already I can't go any higher in the PRO range. I could buy a used 250 but then I wouldn't have the AirPlay option (I don't want to use AIR or ROON at this point).
Thanks!
Good news: the Boenicke W5 SE speakers are SAM-profiled by Devialet. That should give you some assurance!
