Thanks So this means the old motive 2s had similar down firing ports ? Given increase in sensitivty the should be an easy load for 30 watt unitiqute Have you heard the combo by any Chance?

Hi Was wondering what are the changes between the new motive 2s. What is the driver size on motives 2s cant find it on their website?

I heard aria 906 and Qute combo which I liked a lot just not sure if the 30 watts would be enough for the bigger 926 floor standers.

Hi was wondering if anyone here at the forums has heard the 926 and unitiqute combo. The 926 have 91.5db sensitivty so on paper looks like qute would be handle these speakers. listening will done at around 40 volume on the qute. will the combo work at low to moderate listening levels ...

thanks for the reply david which dac would you recommend under 200 pounds ? will the meridian explorer be a significant improvement over the sono's internal dac?

need advice from pioneer n50 and sonos owners. If transparency and level of detail are not an issue , which product would be more musically engaging. I am setting up a small office system with nait 5i and totem mites, while the mites have no near the level of detail my pmc gb1is have ,the...

Dave you were right! after listening to the pmc and nait 5i combo im convinced that the pmc's are under powered. You cant really tell the difference with jazz and acoustic but with fast paced electronica bass control is totally lost, i feel the need to crank up the volume considerably higher...

ok so after detailed testing, i have come to the conclusion that the nait 5i's 50 watts is not enough for pmc gb1is. bass control is good with jazz and acoustic music but looses control and punch with faster music , one note bass is quite bloomy, is enhanced by the pmc ATL ,with deep bass its...

i already have a wtd nas in my system , id rather spend more on good source. do you have any dac in my mind that has the most varying filter settings ? most of filters on dacs you cant really tell apart. cheers

is your arcam / sonos combo on warm side? sonos into a dac with different filter settings would be a good idea, in case the sound is too smooth for my taste.

value for money wise the pioneer n50 is a no brainer. but since my room and system is already on the warm side, i am not so sure the excellent pioneer would be a right match in my current system, maybe something more lively and forward sounding would be a better option. How about marantz na...

you maybe right , though right now i need to push the volume up to get detail and dynamics, a high quality source will definately improve things. this is off topic but do you have ch1 on your nait 5i connected to the left speaker ( your left when you are facing the speaker ) and vice versa? i...

Chebby a dacmagic plus did cross my mind or even a parasound z dac , just saw the review here today, ticks the boxes for being lively and detailed. but im rather put off by having to switch on the tv whenever i need to navigate through my collection on nas. A dedicated streamer would...

Hi A warning to naim owners, naim and oppo combo is a big no no! I have tested my bdp 103 against my ps3 and ipod, compared to both the bass bloated and loose ,no control at all.first i thought it was the nait 5i that wasnt enough for the pmc gb1is but as soon as i connected my ipod to the...

do you think 50 watts would be adequate for the gb1i at 87 db sensitivity ?
