Sure they are better but think I will keep enjoying my XM3's that I picked up in April.

Thats disappointing. Hope you get it resolved.

I second the suggestion on the rega elex

You'll probably be ok without a scale for now as there is a tolerance in tracking weight of the cart between 1.5g and 2g. Though ideally I think 1.75 to 1.8 is best for the elys. Though from experience the rega dial is not the most accurate so longer term scales are a good bet. On alignment...

It was 2 years ago now but for my ears I found them bass light and the mid-range a little recessed. In theory the rubicons being a 3k speaker should better the rest but I would still demo as many as you can on your shortlist as the rubicons may not match well with your naim.

Only heard the focals which weren't for me. The best thing you can do is demo these with your amp, if possible, as everyone's ears are different. Otherwise you will just be going off others personal preferences. On that note😃I would also add the KEF r5s to your list. I'm guessing as you said...

Yeah I agree the announcement seems to have also included a change to a 5 year support model as well. Play 1s are 5-6 years old now.
