Upgrading from a MusicCast 20 speaker

    Hi there,

    I've got a home MusicCast system with a R-602 amp in my living room connected to decent Fyne speakers and 2 x MusicCast 20 wireless speakers (one in a bedroom and another in the kitchen). 

    All 3 work nicely together via MusicCast app but I'm looking to get something more beefy/bassy sound wise in the kitchen (ie. replace the MusicCast 20 and put that speaker in another room).

    I can see there's a bigger MusicCast 50 wireless speaker but I'm wondering if it's got that much better sound and whether it'll give me the sound I need in there. I wonder if some sort of mini MusicCast amplifier with speakers would give me what I need

    What do you think? Anything you'd recommend? Am I better off just going with the MusicCast 50 speaker?

    Thanks,

    markcellardoor

    Hi Mark,

    I use a Music Cast system at home myself for general multi-room music and I think it's a great system!

    I have recently added a MusicCast 50 and it really does pack a punch - far better than the Cast 20 and it really does actually somehow manage to image well and it has far more 'weight' than the 20.. I also have a WXA50 dedicated amp with small ceiling speakers in another room and the MUSICCAST 50 blows them away - however I would also advise you to check out the CRXN470 which is a compact Micro with Musiccast / CD / Internet radio and is great value at just £299 ( I'm listening to one at the moment!)

    If you bundle that with a budget pair of Fyne F300 ( we will do a bundle price) - it will sound in a different league to the CAST 50 or the WXA050!

    Thanks again and keep us posted if we can assist in any way,
