Hi all,
My main system is a Naim Supernait with Harbeth P3esr, Mac source. It sounds very good.
I have recently been looking at second systems and looked into buying a second Naim amplifier/one box system (Qute, SN) and some smallish speakers - perhaps PMC GB1i, Totem, Kudox, Neat etc.
My recent search has led me to consider active speakers, in particular AVI ADM9T, fed by a Mac optical.
I have read a lot of debate around these speakers, and I am trying some out in the next few days. However, has anyone ever owned a good separates system - Naim, Cyrus, Linn, etc and moved to ADM9T? (or bought some as a second system perhaps?)
How do they compare to the more traditional setup of passive speakers and amplifier? Is SQ as good? Better?
Am I going completely mad? The appeal of a super simple system is strong, but will it always be compromised compared to a decent separates system costing, say, £2-4K?
