Ok, so had the opportunity to audition a few speakers in my hunt for a small package with big sound: AMP: NAIM XS 2 KEF LS50s : Very nice looking design as most of you know, big presence, the soundstage is impressive and there is detail...the latter is somewhat on the bright side imo and on...

thanks for the heads up jjbomber- this is actually a pretty attractive deal! I think I'm going to wait for the ATOM nevertheless but the Uniquite2 would be interesting to hear with the Alphas to see if it can drive them properly...as you can appreciate this is my main concern. The atom at 40w...

Hi Geezee, I am currently on a similar quest, have a look at the thread here if it helps: http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/small-space-big-sound-neat-vs#comment-1007122

thanks everyone for your speaker suggestions, I thought it'd be only fair to update you on my research. I auditionned the ATC SCM7s yesterday and....they sounds simply amazing. The amount of detail and precision was very impressive. My only caveat is that although they were driven by a sizeable...

Hi Jamie, I wouldn't be surprised by the lack of replies. You're asking a very specific question ....that said I'd also be interested as I'm considering purchasing some emit m10s and I'm glad to read about your positive feedback. As for the amp, I've heard the Rega Elex-R and it does sound...

I guess the second part of my question was (irrespective of the comparaison to the Neats), has anyone heard the Dynaudio m10s? thoughts?

Yes, several readers appear to have had quite a moment of clairvoyance whilst discovering the Alphas at the Bristol show...another one on my list to demo. I'd have to agree on the Naim old stock arbitrage trade but that screen on the Atom will probably prove very useful!

HI Manix, Thanks for your detailled reply. You're right my enquiry might appear somewhat confusing. I am not necessarily looking for wall mointable speakers that are small but something that is overall not too "big" for example although they are highly rated, when I saw the KEF LS50s in the...

Hello Everyone, After a few months (I took my time) of research I am narrowing on the system for my new hifi set-up. The space I'll be using the system in is realtively small (about 250sqft) and I'm aiming to keep the hifi components "stylish" but not too imposing. I am considering the NAIM...

Hi Reijer, Very glad to hear that you are enjoying the TEAC amp. To be honest I did have my eye on the B&W 685 s2's, I tested them paired with the NAIM unitiqute 2...very nice well rounded and crisp sound, but.... in a different (more mainstream) shop I tested the Dali Opticon 2s paired with a...

Rainsooth / Al Ears - thanks for the NEAT Iota recommendation, there speakers seem exactly what I'm looking for. Did a quick sweep across their reviews and they are all overwhelmingly positive. Re the NAIM UnitiQute 2, I've tested it before and it does sound amazing. I'll need to check if they...

Thanks Big H. The room is normal size living room, if that makes sense. I was thinking of having the speakers sitting on the TV furniture on each side of the TV. with good space between the two. So they won't be extremely far away from the wall. I appreciate the sound would be better if it were...

Hello Everyone, First time post here and had a specific question regarding the KEF LS50 speakers. In am currently thinking of getting into the seperates game (I currently stream my music to a very decent sounding B&W A7, but it has its limitations) and want to stream my music to a system. I am...
