Speaker Upgrade

[SPAZTICUS]

I like a clean analytical sound

I used to have a pair of Linn Index which went well with Naim

I like modern pop music,particularly vocals.

I don't think I would have went for naim gear for a clean analytical sound...it's all about pace,rhythm and timing....music as a whole and not dissected...that's why I went with naim.I think you might want a rethink on electronics rather than speakers.....maybe.

If your room isn't too big, possibly Neat Motive SX3.

The Kef LS50s might also be a possibility.

Gamut Phi3 (smallish room - hard to find)

Left field suggestion: Usher N-6300

Pretty much everything you are asking for is best delivered by the active speakers discussed above.

I understand that, as I hi-fi enthusiast you do not want to do that, so sadly you will chop and change between other peoples favourites and may or may not get lucky and get something you really like.

If you can not audition then it is going to be very difficult, entirely pot luck I am afraid. Sorry not to be more positive but the differences we are discussing are not subtle, but they may well mean different things to different people.

This is true...but the OP likes the Naim....as DDC says, it's very hit and miss without a dem.

It's terribly difficult to put this kind of thing in writing. I would have said that Naim is the opposite of clean and analytical. Go figure! However, as he claims to like the Naim sound, I would suggest that it's the words that neded tweaking ;-)

Who would argue against Cyrus? (Someone will)

By the way Spazticus there should be a dealer more than happy to do a home demo. If not, perhaps someone could do a home loan on your behalf.
