What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

The front grill would have to extend around the sides to cover the tweeters.

What might be interesting is a simpler design with a single instead of dual tweeters, intended for use in stereo pairs and multi-channel systems.

Dual tweeters might be fine when a speaker is used standalone (to try and achieve some illusion of width), but when the speaker is used to reproduce only a single channel in a stereo or multi-channel system, dual tweeters result in both an interference pattern in the horizontal dispersion and a directivity mismatch with the woofer. IME this degrades stereo image stability and causes excessive brightness in the stock tuning.

And then you sound like a 4-eyed pig.

I wasn‘t saying it should be the same technical design.
Both opticly and sound wise I‘m quite fond of my stereo pair of Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i. If only they were running on Linkplay software.

I am used to the design and features of the RIVA Arena, and would like to see a WiiM version.

What products would you like to see based on what you've experienced so far?

Maybe budget version of subwoofer and wireless speakers

What there is IS budget.

And for some potential buyers/users even that might be too expensive...

A certain level of quality and features has its price.
I guess everybody has his budget and will have to adapt his standard of living to it.
There‘s no such thing as a beach villa in Malibu for a budget price.

Which i can agree with, but no matter ones interests there is always the kind of people who thinks $200 is too expensive for a do it all machine (think something like the amp ultra) and therefore looks elsewhere for something even cheaper that will most likely break in a few months.

I second this, especially if there’s an option for black enclosure!

Rest assured...we can imagine that Wiim has known for a while that a large screen is a big "seller"... with vumetre and fft.." dancing effects"
and the rest is fairly incidental..

Agreed ..

Any "full width" device and I'm out, sorry.

On the usefulness of "large screens": Potentially yes, but only if you get it right, unlike ...

wasteful and contribute nothing to SQ.

I wish for WAU2 to use HUGE capacitors and inductors with a beefy power supply. Get that large storage for the audio dynamics.

Wouldn’t the numerous requests for a new Amp model based on Hypex or Purifi modules cover this?

I am not sure about the technology but i would think which ever amplifier selected, more capacitance the better.

Something about WAU i feel lacking is the dynamics swing that AS701 sounded more confident
