Thanks for the responses. much appreciated. Floorstanders rather than stand mount because of cats :) I already have Naim NAC-N 172XS, NAP 200 and Spendor A5. From talking to dealers I'm told the 272+ NAP250 DR is a substantial step up. Happy with sound but Spendors appear a touch "polite". I am...

Not deliberate Matt. My room is about 20'x13'. I was interested in Spendor D7 but I've heard they might not be appropriate for size of room. The Naim forum people seem to recommend PMC and Focal as partners to Naim - I haven't heard anything yet

I'm ready to audition a Naim NAC-N 272 with NAP 250DR amp. Like advice on speakers to listen to My thoughts are Spendor A6R (WHF product of year) PMC 20/23 or 24 (seem to be favoured by the Naim community) Focal Aria 926 /948 (apparently again a Naim favourites) Thoughts?

Reading WHF review of Soundbases. Bit confused. Are they supposed to offer a surround experience like a soundbar i.e watching a movie?

@WHFTeam Having read the 2013 awards I am thinking of upgrading my Uniti (Spendor A5 speakers) to the NAC N 172 XS Do you feel this is a worthwhile upgrade in sound quality? (I haven't yet auditioned it) I recently purchased an ex-dem NAP 200 power amp in anticipation of above and I am...

I thought I'd resurrect this one with an "official" answer I received from Samsung "Unfortunately there is no way to down grade the sound from your TV the options are either purchase a system able to support this or simply watch non HD channels" So in other words they are saying either buy an AV...

Thanks for replying. Yes I tried the sound settings and there are no choices i.e. if you are on BBC HD then the sound format shows only as HE AAC 5.1 (no choice). Go to normal BBC 1 and the choice is MPEG. When you change channels it display "Stereo" on BBC1 and AAC 5.1 on BBC1 HD I will check...

I output my TV sound via my Naim Uniti. through normal 2-channel analogue. recently purchased a new Samsung ES6300 and it can only connect via Toslink Digital. So now connecting this up to the Uniti and works fine However, the Freeview HD channels i.e. BBC1 HD transmit in AAC 5.1 and this...

Anybody familiar with Twonky ?? I have ReadyNas Duo -> Naim Uniti. CDs all ripped into Flac with DBPowerAmp and all is fine. Only issue I have is I'm using the N-Stream app on iPad2 to control and get no cover art. After various threads the suggestion was to install the Twonky add-on. Having...

Definitely looking for some conditioning of the mains supply if possible

Need 6 way extension with long cable length - possibly 4-5m. Any recommendations Thanks

Well since I posted this I tried putting some cloths in both rear ports. I found it neutered the bass a lot, so gradually removed it all. Saw grantite place mats listed on fleabay and brought them. Wow the difference is immense. Not only do they look the part they seem to focus the sound so much...

Plastic Penguin - couldn't agree with you more. I asked the same question a long time ago. From a hi-fi perspective you have a two-channel amp. Why can't the vendors produce a module to allow 5-channel surround sound. WHF always say that receivers will never do two-channel music justice (unless...

Thanks - Yes must have meant granite :) Yes 11L do have rear port - I don't know if they ever came with foam bung - I will check or try "alternative methods" as discussed So what does blue-tac do for you?. Does it isolate them or just stop them resonating downwards ?

I have my Quad 11L on home made MDF shelving. I'd like to try tighten up the sound and was wondering on cheap steps. Have seen threads about putting speakers onto marble chopping boards etc. - is this the sort of thing to try - what about spikes ?
