Coming from Linn, that was my thought as well. In reality however, they do look fantastic and their somewhat-understated design means they fit into a lounge easily without attracting attention. I’m not a fan of how they increased the heigth of the unit - And the price! I’d rather keep my unit...

I finally got my Naim back and it is working great again - Fingers crossed it stays that way. I understand they might be a small company, but so is Linn - Linn also provide the same after-sales service but I found their turnaround much faster. Ultimately, we are talking about gear that cost...

The issue really seem to be with their Firmware update. I have no doubt the hardware is top material, and the build is second to none - Honestly, the Unity Nova is built like a tank. I wish I could downgrade to the original Firmware and never upgrade. I found other reported issues with other...

Hello, Just wondered if anyone else had difficulties with Naim or if I'm just unlucky. I (regretfully) swapped my trusty Linn system for a Naim Uniti Nova a year ago - To be honest, I was overjoyed the first few months but right after the first Firmware update... Oh boy! Just issues after...

I also wants to save the ice caps... As long as it doesn't make me change their habits, or involve any effort from my part...

Thanks for this detailed post, much appreciated! Ultimately. I'm looking for a system to plug on my TV hence the choice for the DSM or Nova (Both have HDMI). It needs ot have praticality as well as great sound. But yeah, I agree, both Linn and Naim are brilliant which mkakes the choice so...

Yes, I did also find the Naim a bit tiring after prolong period of careful auditionning. However, that is not how I will be listening to the system once my choice is done, so I have no concern here. My speakers are Tannoy DC8 which are neutral - However, they are indeed quite relaxed and I...

It's a WD Book Live running Twonky. I also setup a media server from my Windows machine which suffers the same problem. My Linn and Sonos systems have no problem whatsoever accessing both network storage hence I'm pointing my finger atg the Naim. Hopefully, it is just a hickup from the App and...

Thanks all for your input, that's really helpful! Ultimately, since most of the tracks we are listening are dance/pop/rock, I think the Naim will win. Also my girlfriend loves the sound of the Naim which means we would both enjoy it instead of being only me... I guess the Linn takes a little...

I was also hoping Kinsky or Kazoo would detect the Naim, but unfotunately not - They do detect my Sonos which is rather cool! I can only hope Naim will improve the app.

Hi there, My dealer was kind enough to lend me a Naim Uniti Nova as I'm thinking about swapping with my current Linn Majik DSM & 4100 Amp. So I'm sitting here listening to both systems and liking the forward and muscular of the Naim more and more. Here's my thoughts so far: - Naim: My partner...

I tried bi-wiring my stereo and could not hear a noticeable difference (At least I couldn't tell if I was imagining things or not) - I'm one of "those" who can hear differences in speaker cables. In the end, I choose to bi-wire because the cost was exactly the same as the single wire for my set...

Hi there, Well, I would love the thought of being able to wake up at the sound of my playlists, but maybe this is too "out there". :? I'm surprised the Marantz doesn't allow that since it has an clock - I'm pretty sure the Sonos allow this as I could see someone doing this in a review video...

All is on the title! :) I always hear hear how great the Sonos sounds, but the Marantz received the top What Hifi Award. I'm looking for a streamer that I can also use as an alarm, and both fit the bill (Functionnality and budget wise). I had Marantz equipments before but thought the sound was...

Hi Woodster, Yeah, the tannoys look quite something - Esthetics is such a subjective topic. I personnally like classic/industrial look, so I find the tannoys superb. My partner find them very attractive too. The lacker finish is amazing. I hesitated with the B&W pm1's. Loved both the sound and...
