[SlimDevices: Boom] Subwoofer advice for Boom please.

YSTFSW050 One of my Booms is a kitchen player and it's time to get some bass ! Don't want anything too overpowering (Boom has modest output) and I was looking at the Yamaha YSTFSW050. It seems well regarded and good value. Any thoughts on this model ? Would it be reasonable to place the Boom d

[SlimDevices: Boom] Is Boom speaker deterioration inevitable ?

Hello I have my 2 beloved Booms since they came on the market, both connected to subwoofers almost from day 1. They are used frequently (with significant proportion of bass-heavy music), but rarely above 50 on volume scale. I haven't noticed any deterioration in sound (but that doesn't mean the

[SlimDevices: Boom] Presets disappear from Boom - why ?

Hello Recently I've had some disappearing presets from a Boom when it has been alternated between LMS 7.9x and MySB.com. Sync option in MySB.com page of LMS web interface has been disabled for many years (which, when enabled, was a recognised cause in the past). What else could cause this ? Th

Re: [SlimDevices: Boom] Is Boom speaker deterioration inevitable ?

How do I tell that the speakers have the widely reported problem ? I can't really see the speakers in detail through the grills, and don't really want to take them off if possible. Is it audibly obvious ? Touch x 2, Booms x 2, Squeeze Cntrl on Samsung S5 (Duet Receiver + Controllers x 2
