Hi, OK & please bear with me on this one! I've moved into a new home and have been looking into buying some new equipment. Ceiling speakers in the kitchen, soundbar for lounge plus others for multiroom - you know the kinda stuff.... I've spend time reading and talking to various shops about Yamaha vs Denon vs Sonos and found most (almost all) only recommend with Sonos for multiroom... and having almost committed to ordering a number Sonos bit and bobs, I've run into a problem! So... most basic streaming services are only 128kbps, which I can generally tell when compared against higher bit rates, albeit it only when played one after the other... I'm also quite happy with 128 until I hear greater bit rates. however, this brings me to my concern..... if I'm playing128kbps streams, is a hifi amp and speakers (being £1.2k for Sonos) just over kill & I should goto Amazon and order by price lowest first? I'm having a crisis of faith about this, I know I can add another source via RCA but am unlikely to.... actually after this I may pull out an "RaspberryPI and a JustBoom hat" and rip all my CD which have sat gathering dust.... In short - Is hifi equipment too good for what most people generally stream, and are we/they all investing in high quality kit, only to play low quality music? ....Discuss... Thank you, Bob!
