    When should actives be recommended?

    I think actives should be recommended as an option, I for one like the idea of reducing the box count etc. The main issue is that there is still a limited choice of actives with wood veneers, or something folk would want in their living room. I'm on a quest for some actives for my study, so the...

    System upgrade to make the most of streaming

    Evening Shep, If you're looking at keeping separates then the Audiolab would be a cracking choice. My father in law has got one, the amp is a Audiolab integrated with B&W 684s. He's got a squeezebox touch plugged in to the DAC of the Audiolab to stream Internet radio and I have to say it sounds...

    A second high-end journey

    Hi, It's a shame that the naim gear has a premium attached over there, I would always recommend a demo first. My system sounds well balanced, slightly sweet sound but not laid back. I've got quite a large room so I've got the D28 at 1.5m away from the back wall, they need plenty of room...

    A second high-end journey

    Good evening and welcome! Have you considered an all in one streaming system like Naim's Uniti range? As you can see from my signature I'm running some Proac D28 with my Superuniti. I'm well and truly a Proac convert, love their speakers! The Superuniti amp is based on the Supernait and I love...

    HDD music to stereo amp qn - newbie too!!

    Evening Tommo, the only DAC I know of is the Naim DAC, but at £2100 cheap it ain't. The Naim Uniti range of all in one players accept USB sticks if you would consider swapping systems. I'm sure there will be other folk on here with some alternatives! Cheers, Nick

    Best Speakers

    Well said Drummerman, People should feel free to recommend any kit that they own or have at least heard. After all, I have made a demo short list of some of my kit based on folks opinions here and on other forums. If some people claim that their kit is the best then I would personally just...

    Need speakers for old system

    I can thoroughly recommend the Neat Petite sx, I used to have some until I sold them to the old man. I've heard the Iotas as well and they are amazing for the size. Also check out (if you can) Pmc, proac KEF etc. cheers, Nick

    NaimUniti2 or Not

    Hi, it could well be that the uniti2 had not been run in. Both my old uniti and new superuniti took literally months to open up! If you are set on having a CD player then the uniti2 is too hard to ignore! Good luck

    Speakers for Unitilite

    Hi, I used to have an original Uniti with some Neat Petite speakers. It was a great combo, when I was fortunate to be able to afford upgrades I stuck with Naim/Neat. Try to demo as much as you can because it all comes down to what you like best. Good luck, let us know how you get on.

    Speaker Advice Needed

    Hi Blackpool boy, I bought the original Uniti and a pair of Neat Petite speakers. Can't recommend them enough, if you are after a bit more scale, then the Elite SX are also great. Your Uniti will have more than enough grunt to drive them. I would try to audition as many speakers as you can...
