Get the sonos. For the money and the conveniance it does everything in one box with minimal fuss. It offers great flexibility (and spotify) and you don't have to mess around with additing speakers, DACs etc

why do we need a final answer on this. If it works for you great ! if it doesn't great ! I don't need to enforce my view on others. Science isn't always right & there are plenty of examples of this

Very very good

Some people say yes and some people say no. You are not going to get an answer. As suggested do a search and you can some strong views on both sides.

Firstly, if your questioning the price of Naim, forget it. They are high end and therefore their priced appropriately. As it is a new prduct, unlikely to appear in the second hand market for 2/3 years. Its mostly designed to connect a laptop, pc etc to. Although their streamer offerrings are...

i think for the money they are brilliant. i paid £125 ! Not sure i would have paid £250 which was the price about 12 months ago .

Bought these on a whim. Price now very reasonable due to the Newmodel that has come out. Very very impressive, superb build quality, really comfortable. I actually like their looks. The only negative is that the cable is very long which i know as been addressed with the new model , but besides...

Actually i totally agree with you. Age comes into it in that we have accumulated a diverse range of music over time and hence probably take some convincing as to whther an artists is indeed original or a mere copy. When i look at where are the exciting artists that are producing original music...

I do find this topic interesting, i wonder if one of the reasons for a lot of mumbo jumbo around this is that as hifi companies are entering this market they still dont really understand it. As the traditional business model is to sell boxes, therefore by saying a pc is inferior a market maybe...

Actually, i didn't think it bettered my CD555.

1. Pmc speakers were very good 2. Audio t had some very good bargains 3. Enjoyed the Naim demo in that it told me to avoid them for a few good years- and i am a Naim fan, but i think the technology evolves too fast and spnding thousands at his stage doesn't make sense 4. Guru speakers were...

Thanks all for your comments. I didn't want to refer to naim as such, as i know that Linn also say the same thing. I was curious as i have always found a pc very easy to use for ripping and couldn't understand why you need a £2k macine to rip cd's. No one has ever complained that data is...

Hi - Was at the Bristol show yesterday and a lot of companies with high end ripping products were saying that riping by PC/mac's are of poor quality, data gets lost and hence buy a stand alone rip unit. other than marketing speak is there any truth in this. thsi sin't a question about file...

You only have to say that the Naim streamers are over priced, or that their speakers are rubbish and they begin to froth at the mouth and accuse you of trolling And this is from a naim fan

naim, naim, naim. Go for Naim. Black boxes, you can upgrade for ever, tweak the system. buy power supplies. Annoy people on their forum. Perfect solution to mid life crisis.
