Wiim Sound Lite to replace Dali Oberon 5's

[Mr Ee]

Different tv (kitchen), optical out to a wiim Pro, Sound and Sound Lite linked to Pro as a stereo pair.
Sounds on wifi, Pro set to 70ms group delay.

Volume is still quite quiet, currently 80, but only the very occasional sound issue with a brief echo / dropout.

It could just be 'cos the Sounds are closer to the wifi access point, but previously they were maybe 4 or 5 metres further away with just a glass door in the way.
I'll plug both Sounds into ethernet in a while, but right now, on wifi, the Sounds are working well.

 

[Mr Ee]

It could be my imagination, but the sound with both Sounds on ethernet does seem more cohesive, with no problems experienced so far.
Working well, but still too quiet.
A sub pro might help - wiim have previously confirmed that a sub pro wirelessly linked to one of the Sounds in a stereo pair will still receive the stereo signal so play bass from both channels.
I don't have a sub pro to test / cofirm this.

Do not change Dali 5 to WiiM Sound. I have Dali 5 and today I bought one WiiM sound to use it as satellite to 5.1 and for this is quite ok but comparing to Dali 5 (there is no sense to compare). It is not in the same league.

For my living room (40m) WiiM Sound is to quiet and there is a very little bass.

To be fair, your living room is rather large.
