Just taking the plunge and looking to purchase a hifi. I like the look of the naim unitilite and went for a listen on Saturday. The guy in the shop had it set up with a pair of KEF R100. These sounded good bit I thought lacked a little base. Next set were the highly rated KEF Ls50. Better speaker, but to get more base you had to have it turned up a little louder.
Next set floor standers monitor audio rx6, these were nice great sound alround. Finally KEF r300. Pretty much on par with the monitors. Dilemar!!!!. In my opinion I thought the r300 were the better of the kefs.
My question and advice is does anyone have any experience with this combo naim/KEF - naim/monitor audio. I know people have talked about pmc and neat.
After my listen the guy in the shop said for the unitilite I should be looking to spend £600-£1200 on speakers, anymore than I wouldn't be getting the best from the speaker. Not sure if he is being biased towards the speakers they sell!!!!
any help on this would be great as pretty new to hifi and want to get the speakers right.
Cheers

Englishbull said:Cheers for the replies and suggestions, I'm just trying to track down a dealer that does the Rega's, seems a little tough to get somone that has them.
Question on the B&W's - Do they produce a good Base sound being Book shelfs??
I'll let you know the outcome or the next stage.
cheers

Ah right – I was reading the review on the site, and couldn't see the reference. Wasn't aware it had been added to the print version, but then I have been away for a couple of weeks 8)
Personally, I'd be thinking Neat Motive range or PMC DB1i or GB1i as good matches for the UL, along with the Tannoys mentioned in the review.

OK then: sorry, but a dog ate my homework.
Paul@HiFi-Lounge said:I use our UnitiLite with both the PMC 21's and 23's which both sound fantastic but also the Rega RS3's and RS5's sound brilliant.
Both PMC and Rega are great choices but they both offer very different presentations so I would definately hunt out your nearest dealer for a demo.
