I'm using mine with a pair of Neat Motive 2's & am very pleased.

I'm really enjoying my Unitilite, In general it feels like a well put together quality piece of kit to me, I've also found i'm using it a lot more than my old Primare kit as have been able to accomodate it in our second sitting rm due to it being one box & therefore more wife friendly ! I've...

Thanks, I'll see if I can get a home demo from my local dealer & give it a try

Question for busb, i have a Primare a31.2 power amp driving Neat Motove 2 speakers, I am currently using a Primare i21 as a pre but thinking of changing & using an m-dac. i notice you have both, does the mdac offer significant improvements as a pre than the i21 if you have tried it that way ?

Thanks John Great review - Guess I need to go & listen some more, see if its worth the investment ! Any thoughts on anything else I should listen to in the same sort of price range while I'm at it ? I have heard good things about the AKG K702 as well, seem to be available fairly reasonably...

I find myself listening through headphones more & more lately due to the kids ! So feel its time for an upgrade. I currently have a pair of Grado SR80i's & wondered if the 325I's would be a significant upgrade ? Am using a Beresford Caiman as a headphone amp.

I heard a pair of Dynaudio X16's on this combo a couple of wks ago & thought it sounded excellent (certainly worth a demo) also heard a pair of Spendor A5's which didn't have the same immediate impact however would expect they would sound better over a long listening period.

I'd like the same advice as the OP, same kit apart from am using my I21 as a pre & an A31.2 as a power amp. Currently using MA RS6's but cant help but think I can do better, sometimes it sounds great & others I just feel its lacking something - maybe with the treble & mid. After a pair of...

Any thoughts on which would provide the best results with a pair of Grado SR80i ?

I have the Kef 3005 in my home cinema set up & preferred them to the B&W, which I have a pair of in my conservatory running through the B set of terminals on my home cinema amp - they do the job for a bit of music in the conservatory but wouldn't want them for my main hifi.

I'd like to see a small floor stander, preferably something that would work close to a rear wall, the size of a Spendor A5 !

I heard a pair of Dynaudio Excite X16's the other day with the Niam Kit you mention at my local dealers & it sounded fantastic. Should come in within budget as well.

I Have this combination but with the RS6 & it sounds great, however I am constantly thinking I could do with better speakers - in fact have just been preparing a shortlist - any ideas welcome ! The RX6 are said to improve over the RS6 but I would certainly listen before taking the plunge to be...

I'd buy a mac every time, it was the best thing I did, wish I'd switched over years ago ! I still use a laptop for work as we have to due to group policy but my imac is lots quicker, never crashes, simpler to use, no viruses etc etc etc & it looks cool ! Oh & you can also run windows on it if...

Wolverhampton has closed as well - a shame really - mind you I did get a rack at a very decent price in their clearance sale! Now I have to travel all the way to some shop in Coventry !!
