My guess is its him. Two clues Watson, he joined today to post in response to this thread and he strikes me as a man who would struggle to let half-an-hour go without googling his own name.

From spooky to creepy.

Lovejoy's representative of the public.
That show gets millions of viewers, this forum doesn't.
For years the hifi industry has been snooty and snobbish about who was good enough, expert enough or rich enough to join the club or have an opinion, and now the general public doesn't care. We've driven away the masses. There's no aspirations to own decent hifi in the majority of people. Lovejoy personifies that.

They are all members of the BBC Defence team- see the other thread about privacy and internet monitoring.

It's true, I am actually from the bbc. I am junior assistant jumper selector for Mr Lovejoy himself. I'm hoping in a few years I can work my way up to chubby-cocktail-man's glass selector - then I really will have made it!

Maybe, but you've got to agree that there isn't a huge public appetite for hifi or serious home cinema. Obviously I'm talking about the public at large, not the 'enthusiasts' in this forum.
The people who find the naim uniti interesting are not the people who should be advocating our goods to the public at large because the public will be bored by them.
We need a Clarkson (or a Stig) to communicate with the masses. Once we do that we've got a chance of getting towards a million in the forums. Sadly all we've got at the moment is Jason Bradbury.

Lets face it the likes of NAD, Linn and Arcam have been making a one-box CD/FM/DAB with iPod docks as all-in-one units for a few years now. So apart from the iRadio, there is nothing new technology wise with the Uniti.
The Uniti does not break new ground, Naim have been using that old swing-out-door for ages, and it seems clear to me that most people who post here seem to like old style audio separate systems, and are very proud to post them in their forum posts.
I cannot think what Naim expected from placing the Uniti on such a strange Sunday show, it's like of trying to sell a expensive music center in a market that seems to be on its way down. Lovejoy's remarks were from someone that does not buy into the idea as he feels he has better, and maybe he does?

I think this is Naim's attempt to capture the imagination of the 'mass' market, perhaps a bit naive in view of the price. In their mind this probably is a product that will appeal to a far wider audience than their separates. Having seen and heard the thing I have to agree. Looks good, sounds good, practical, easy to operate. It would be my choice over the Nait5i/CD5i if I did'nt want the performance (and cost) of the companies better separates.

Well are you sure, I quote;
[*]33,306 users have contributed to 145,591 threads and 240,650 posts.
In the past 24 hours, we have 50 new thread(s), 390 new post(s), and 34 new user(s).
So goodness knows how many views there has been, it must be in the millions. There are probably many occasions where someone comes on the forum, searches, gets their answer and goes away happy. I do not think that anyone who wanted to really know about the Naim Uniti would settle for that review and toddle down the shops tomorrow and buy one off the shelf.

Well I think it worked, cos now I want one! It looks bang tidy, much better to see kit on a properly shot TV program instead of a photo or youtube vid.
I have never seen Naim in the flesh to this day, no dealers stock it in my ends. Two grand though, PAH!

That's good marketing value for money then.
Naim probably had to pay £600,000 to the BBC so some orange bloke (who is only there to attract the 50+ female demographic*) can demonstrate his total disinterest in anything that has an 'i' in front of it or plays a CD.
And it results in one (possible) sale.
* Is he the BBC's Sunday morning 'Eoin Mclove'? (Remember Father Ted)....
Oops sorry...

Are you insane, I'm not spending TWO GRAND on that!
Point taken, I still enjoyed watching it though

The NaimUniti is more serious than you'd ever think, just like those who dismiss the HDX, trust me, those who own the HDX are stunned.
