Dali menuete se speakers are a fantastic near field option to consider....I use them in my small summer house with a rel t-zero sub....wheather they are a worthwhile upgrade over the iota's is up for debate. and I'd looked for a pre loved pair from the auction site..that's what I did...

I liked Qubuz..but they just pulled out a band I've been listening to lately and I'm not very happy about that....although it's probably not the fault of Qubuz directly....probably the band, Agents,record companies..etc etc....probably the best sound quality out of the usual suspects...I use it...

I have a small summer house in which my Mytec brooklyn bridge /brooklyn amp plus drives the Dali Menuet se's with a rel t-zero subwoofer.......Floorstanders just would not work in that space......but holy crap.....the sound I can get in that 2x2x2 space is quite amazing from this tiny system.

There is no comparison really...I love my standmount speakers, but if I lived in a detached villa somewhere, I'm sure I'd embrace the sonic attributes of floorstanders....neighbours and the neighbourhoods have to be accounted for.

I don't think I'd part with the original rrp for the Lehmann for sure...good phono stage but not worth £1500.imho.

I sent it back to the seller for repair...I got it back and the issue was still present...I returned the Lehmann and received a full refund....I then opted for my original preference manufacturer's phono stage...NJC audio's phono stage...I still have that unit and I cannot fault it...although...

I've had a couple of dealings with hifi corner in Joppa and there previous stored in the city....I was going to trade all my Naim gear at the time for a pair of the kef ls50 wireless....they sat me down and gave me a demo of them and along the avi dm10's. The guy actually told me..look your Naim...

I used to own the A85 and cd72t from the time, I remember getting the upgrade path for the cd player from cd72t to the cd82, both were fantastic players as was the amp, to this day, I think it's the longest time I've held on to a product, around 13 years I had them and now they reside with a...

Yes the cd ripping is very time consuming and monotonous. If you're keeping the cd player and turntable in the equation, I'd go with a dumb amp with a decent onboard phono stage, pretty pointless having a all in one unit if there's a turntable and cd player in the system anyway. My Mytec...

I used to have the previous Superuniti and it was a great bit of kit...the usual screen failure was the only fly in the ointment, but easily rectified( at a price)....I'd probably be more into the Nova if going that route again, I already ripped all my cd's to flac, so the uniti star's cd drive...

Al is saying, do not buy defective speakers until the vendor fixes them...I'd be looking elsewhere myself...hey but that's just me.

Just a quick question, why would you want a amplifier with onboard dac, when you have a perfectly good streamer? My 1500 quid would be on a good dumb amp ( no dac or streaming), and probably a pre loved unit also, eg Exposure 2510, Naim Supernait 2 etc etc ..and I'd probably stick to class A/B...

Probably the waf 🤣

If you must wall mount the speakers, Then the Dali menuet se's are the ones to go for....Dali manufacture a wall moun bracket that were specifically designed for the Menuets.....oh and you'll need a small subwoofer to compliment the bass, or should I say the lack of it, but that's the compromise...
