What speakers with Naim

[admin_exported]

I have decided to purchase a Naim nait 5i & Naim CD5i. The problem is what speakers should I buy to go with them. I listened to the ProAc studio 110 they sounded great but what are the alternative should I consider Dali mentor 1 or 2. Would floor speakers, such as the Neat Moytive 2, be a better option. Your comments would be appreciated.

All the speakers you mention should work well with your Naim gear. PMC speakers (GB1i) also work well, so does Spendor but it all comes down to taste so try and test as many as you can. I have been using B&W 805s with my Nait for just under a year and I think after a long search I am going to purchase the Motive 1's after Christmas.

The B&W CM7's sound brilliant with Naim.

Heard these at the weekend with the same set-up and they were stunning...

Rega speakers have always been a classic match for the Naim electronics. Neat Motive 2's cannot be played too loud or the woofer will bottom out.

I would rather get either Spendor or Harbeth for the same amount of money.ÿ

agreed with the motive 2's but the motive 1's go plenty loud enough. Mind you the 2's are probably loud enough for most people (and neighbours) and sound very nice indeed.

I've got Dynaudio Audience 52SEs with this set up - sounds fantastic, although perhaps bass could be better...

Of course these are not a current model so you may not find them - although they crop on on eBay from time to time.
