What's driving my Luna V2's

[curtis]

So, I have always wanted a nice system in my bedroom. Originally I was thinking some HTM-200SE's, an inexpensive t-amp, and an cheap Roon endpoint to connect to it.

Well, I blew the budget immediately with the Luna V2's. Then I said I need to drive them with something at least decent.

I started with a WiiM amp, and it worked well enough, was under $300 and did bass management, but still didn't sound like I wanted. Also, a weak link was the sub, an RSL 10e(more on that later).

The WiiM Ultra was announced, and Fosi came out with V3 Mono amps. Both had good objective test results, so I got them. Happy to say, they sound great driving the Luna V2's! These along with an AppleTV 4k make up everything as far as the electronics go.

The sub works well enough for now, I would love a small Rythmik in the bedroom, but I have blown my original budget by 3x.

I also moved an 65" TV into the bedroom, as it was replaced by a 77" LG C3 OLED in the living room.

It is all working great!

Here's what the WiiM Ultra and Fosi V3 Monos look like in their stack (I'll get a better pic when the whole front stage is presentable). BTW, that shelf is only 13" wide:

Nice!

I do think bass management on the WiiM products is one of their strong selling points. It's much harder than it should be to find things that support 2.1 setups.

I have a 77" LG OLED in my living room HT as well. It's a couple years old now (so not an x3 model, but an x2 model) but it's lovely.

I'd be interested in hearing your issues with the RSL 10e. I have an RSL 10S MkII as the sub in my bedroom setup and no, it's no Rythmik, but it's quite good, particularly considering the price.

Bass management was/is a big selling point for me on the WiiM. For $350, it's feature set and performance can't be beat. If there is something else out there, I would like to know about it.

There really isn't anything wrong with the RSL (especially for the price), it just isn't a Rythmik. Perhaps it could be EQ'd better (the WiiM also has room correction, it doesn't seem nearly as good as Anthem's ARC or Dirac, but it does help). I have access to an old Hsu VTF-2 that I will try at some point.

It is my second OLED...I love them!
