Hi All
This is my first post at the whathifi-forum and I hope you all would help me downgrade my system
I have just sold most of my old system which consisted of Sonus Faber Cremona mkI speakers, Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp, Denon DVD-A11 cd/dvd-player and a Cambridge Audio DacMagic fed optically from an Airport Express from my computer running AIFF format.
I love this set up and really did hate selling up, but I cannot justify having this much tide up in it with so little use.
I have banked £3500 on the sale of the amp and speakers and would like to keep the new system at about £2500 for speakers and amp. If I get an amp with in-built streaming I could also sell the DacMagic and possibly the DVD-A11 netting my another £200 on top of the £2500.
I have been looking into the Naim Uniti family, especially the UnitiLite and UnitiQute. The only disadvantage to this is the ability to stream Spotify to my system from my Iphone/Ipad (future purchase) and possibly the limited power available from the unitiQute.
Another option is an integrated amp with difital in and use a Sonos hub to stream music and spotify, however this will be slightly more cumbersome touse as I will have to use the Iphone for music selection and the amps remote for volum.
Regarding speakers I can either use floor or stand mounted. If I use the stand mounted I can use an older Miller & Kreisel V1250 Subwoofer that I've got from a previous surround system.
I listen mainly to rock, pop and some electronica. Examples would be Tool, Robyn, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, green Day, Jamiroquai, Live, PJ Harvey.........
If I decided to go with Naim UnitiLite or Qute, which speakers would you recommend? Bear in mind that PMCs are hard to get hold of here in Norway. Would you do bookshelf and sub or larger floorstanders?
If I do decided on floorstanders would something like Tannoy DC6T be too large? What about Martin Logan Emotion 20s?
And it all needs to look good as well since this is to be used in my living room (4.5x6.5m), so no ugly boxes please
Any help appreciated
