āIām in the consumer hearing businessā. As the audio is blown out to the stratosphere and the video feed is all fucky. This is quite the gem of a stream so far.

Oh goodness.
Stream audio was horrible lmao. For those who donāt want to subject their left ear to harm hereās a quick recap. TBH itās kinda as expected for CES, just yearly refreshes of their momentum headphones and TWS lineup now with added software features that will probably lose support as soon as the new ones release lol. Also a new sport TWS.
Thatās basically all the hardware releases, everything else was about software/features and their new partnership with Polar for biometric tracking while using their sport TWS.
Annnd thatās it. Who knows, maybe theyāll release something out of nowhere in the head-fi/hifi space this year like they did with the HD660S2, but my hopes arenāt high. Anyways, hopes this helps anyone curious and save yourself 40 minutes of pain.
EDIT: LMAO they privated it, I guess they finally watched it themselves haha.

Wowzers, look at all the sonic improvements they tout in the new design! 
Nucleus Titan features include:
- Precision-machined billet aluminum enclosure crafted from a solid block of premium metal.
- Stunning aesthetics, designed for display and admiration.
- Available in three elemental shell finishes: metal, stone* (composite), and wood.
- Elegant self-cooling design with silent, fan-less operation.
- Customizable internal solid state storage: 2, 4, or 8 TB options.
- Upgraded connectivity: two USB-C, two USB-A, and two audio-only HDMI ports.
- Accommodates the most voluminous music libraries and multi-zone audio configurations.
- Exterior design echoes Roonās music discovery features and the eclectic nature of music collections.
- Nucleus Titan is the only premium server/streamer designed specifically for Roon by the team that created Roon.

While interesting release from them, I wonder if anyone here has tried their Nucleus boxes in either configuration?
I understand its turnkey appeal, hence the price to play. Yet never seen anyone compare it against another Roon server solution such as the ROCK, someone not a professional reviewer that is.
Thatās because there isnāt any. In Roonās defense theyāve never touted sonic improvements, just server performance and handling library sized and the various digital filtering.

That is what I figured, they are pretty and better looking than my simple NUC box. Will give them that!
I was watching an architectural digest video the other day and ran across this in the guyās house. I just bumped into it today online. It is beautiful. Limiting for an audiophile, but Iām sure it would impress the hell out of most and definitely has the aethetics sewn up.
Looks like the Omega alnico drivers in there for sure.

Matching to their new line of really nice HT speakers. When i ran across a matching center to my BMRās i purchased it so if ever i desire i have a full 5 speaker set of the BMRās, (Tower, standmount & center) as a HT set-up. This set will never be sold, it works as absolutely great 2 channel or HT and Iām completely satisfied and the investment is completely paid for. At some point in life you need to make a decision and call it done and as far as the BMR Philharmonitors go Iām completely happy and satisfied w/ them 
Also, knowing i have the Salk made version of the towers which is basically almost a one-off, Iām extra pleased. I have had several offers to purchase my pair, and they arenāt going anywhere, i really love the finish 
Canāt tell you how much i appreciate you!

Can i ask what amps you use with your bmrs?
1 Like
Yes of course.
The towers get a Vinnie Rossi L2i -SE. that has appropriate power for them at about 140 wpc and Iām very pleased. Currently it is used in conjunction w/ an OG Berkeley Alpha Reference DAC.
When I was using the Stand mount BMRās in 2 channel my absolute favorite amplifier with them was an older Sugden FPA-4 mated to Lampizator Baltic 3 DAC and surprisingly a great pre-amp was my Eddie Current Studio B 
I have relegated the BMR stand mounts currently to HT use along with Dennisās matching center channel. Love them there If ever I go hog wild with my HT again I will use all 5 of my BMRās on it and call it āend-gameā Home theater for me 
The Vinnie Rossi L2i-SE is my āgo-toā amplifier for all my speakers under 92db sensitivity. Most of my tube amplifiers are all very low power, ie. 1-6 wpc.
I sent my Sugden class A out for Service a year + ago and may never get it back. 
It was just at 30-ish wpc but hit harder than my tube based amps that are 20-30 wpc. On any BMR.
Hope this helps
