Was running some Dynaudios and Kefs at the same time, reason for 2 of these.
Sounded really great, had much more than just the 2 sets of main speakers, also some Dynaudio M3s, 3rd best tweeters in the world they say.
Also loads of subs, it was like a mini night club and miss it all.

Have never heard anything like it when watching Jurassic park, the M3s were running on the Chords at the time.
Was too much stuff, so had to downgrade a little, but stuff has crept back in again.

The DSP7200.2s and above must sound even better again, but are too big for me, they give me eye-ache looking at them as did all the other stuff previously so must compromise.
Would buy the Meridian panel speakers if i had the money, speakers should be heard and not seen in 2026.

Not sure about whether they were recapped, don't think so, one is a .1 and other .2, but sound the same.
Think there are far better Chords than mine, which are quite old mono blocks, once used for the Royal concert hall outside broadcasts, they sold them off 10 years or so ago, the bigger newer Chords are meant to be incredible and very loud.

The hardness in the tops.. forgot to add.
Not a major big deal, the Arcams just sounded a little sweeter, used them in the last system so used them again, perhaps just personal preference, but the mid range on the 558s is beautiful, really natural and loud, all amps should sound as good.
