Just thinking in public about which direction to take my 'big radio' in next. (By that I mean my system which plays some form of radio most of the day, every day.)
The plan was something like... upgrade my M-CR603 to a Naim UnitiQute 2 (plus ATV) then - in a year or thereabouts - get some Harbeth P3ESRs (best case) or similar.
Now there is the imminent launch of the 'mu-so by Naim' to consider at £895. It has everything I need (apart from FM which I can take care of - until it eventually ends - with something like a Sony ST-88 plugged into the mu-so's analogue input).
No seperate speaker boxes, at least a couple more square metres of 'no-go' zone freed up in our living room and less clutter/cables. Oh yeah, and about £1800 cheaper than 'plan A'
Andrew Everard's hands-on review of the mu-so a couple of days ago has really got me rethinking all this.
However, I still cannot let go of the desire for those little Harbeths, despite their price, and I am finding it difficult to envisage the mu-so being any kind of long-term fixture given how quickly technology changes.
