The Naim Nait with EPOS ES12 sounds incredible, I personally have a full Naim system (SBL,82 with two Hicaps,250,CD3).& was amazed by the Nait/ES12 combo,plus you can add a flatcap or Hicap at a later date.I've heard B & W CDM1 on my electronics & didnt care for the sound(but I have heard the same speakers on tube gear & liked them)It depends what you match them up with,& for a small room its alot of bang for the buck,But as with anything everybody has an opinion& this one is mine. Just a guy who loves MUSIC
Naim Nait, Alpha 10, or Used Separates?
I'm trying to decide between the Naim Nait, the Arcam Alpha 10, and used separates. I'm considering pairing a B&K Pre with the Power Modules Belles amp, and running the system through Tukans or old B&W Matrix'. Power is not a big consideration -- small apartment -- but sound quality is. I'm trying to spend less than $1500 on the amp/pre combo or integrated unit. Thoughts?
