I think that the Plato is ugly af, a miditower PC case with a screen.
I also find Davidf's comment, in the other thread, about Naim lacking grip on speakers, pretty dubious, but if he doesn't deal Naim, there must be something wrong with it, at least compared to the better and cheaper brand he's stocking.
Now say what you will about Naim, they're far from perfect, and it all depends on taste, I understand why some don't like the presentation, but to say they can't grip speakers properly makes me raise my eyebrow. My qualm with the SN2 was that it was actually too "grippy", and wanted to hit me with the Martin Logan Motion 40 even when the music did not demand it. Or does "having grip" mean a dry presentation?
Anyway, point is audition and let your ears decide.
On the point of remotes - I use mine all the time, it's much quicker, being tactile and all, don't have to look at it etc. Only use the app to start the stream or play the album. Stop trying to sell by downplaying the usefulness of a remote (and inventing apocalyptic scenarios where remotes break all over the world at an alarming rate) and instead try to make an objective recommendation.
