Hi Everyone
This is my first post on here so bear with me if this is an obvious question, I've had a naim mu-so for about 18months now, I'm very pleased with it and love the way it sounds, so much so that I recently bought the smaller mu-so QB to go in my kitchen.
My only real gripe with it is there isn't much stereo separation, so recently I've been looking at some hifi separate systems, I have a small budget to spend in hifi terms, so I want to get something at a reasonable hifi starter budget of say £1000-£2000ish
I've been looking at the Marantz PM7005 Amplifire which is 60wpc for about £450, mainly for its USB DAC as an input and a pair of B&W 685 S3 stand mount speakers at £500, plus stands cables etc
Im also thinking of holding out for the new Naim uniti atom at £1700 with the same speakers, with this option I can stream multi room with my two mu-so's, but not sure if my budget can stretch that far.
My main concern is I don't want to thow money at a new system that possibly won't sound as good as the mu-so, the mu-so has 450w of power and the Marantz and uniti atom only have 120w or 80w respectively, I have a feeling the separate stereo system will sound better, just need a little advice please.
