Putting Together my First System - Naim Uniti + Spendor or Naim?

Hi All, 

I'm excited to be shopping for my first proper two channel stereo system, and I was hoping to get some feedback and advice on considerations I should make while both choosing my gear and completing the purchase. 

First, a little bit about my listening environment - Very open, Appx 900 Sq Ft space that includes both the living room, kitchen and dining room. The space is a little echoy - Hardwood floors and 12ft ceilings with smooth cabinetry and an integrated fireplace with a stone wall from floor to ceiling. I have a very large rug, photos on the walls and a huge tapestry hanging behind where the speakers would be. 

I'm completely sold on the Naim Uniti Star, but currently a bit torn between the Spendor A4 and the PMC Twenty5 23. I've demoed both speakers driven by the Naim, and found both to be fantastic - Far and away my favorites from all the other speakers I've heard. 

I have no idea how of if my impressions of both speakers will translate into my listening environment, but the PMC has the slight edge based on what I've heard. To me, the PMC had a slightly broader range of ability across genres (I listen to basically everything except hard rock), slightly better detail, and bass that is ever so slightly better controlled. It is also stunning to look at. 

The Spendor on the other hand was probably easier to listen to, somewhat warmer, and perhaps has a more playful character. 

I'm fairly cost sensitive and have set a maximum budget of $10,000. The Spendor is $3500, and the PMC is $5500. I do not believe the PMC is worth an extra $2,000, but I have the opportunity to acquire a pair for $4200 (which is a difference I'd be willing to pay). 

What are your recommendations on system design? Also, I've managed to find a decent deal on the PMC speakers, but dont know if negotiating any sort of a deal on the Naim would be possible. Does anyone have experience negotiating dealers on this stuff? One local dealer already told me they wont budge on price. 


Thanks!
