CD-Receiver Recommendations

I intend to purchase a CD-Receiver for a one-box solution to drive my Verity Taminos. The system will be set up in our Dining Room and will be played at low to moderate levels. Redbook CD playback is the focus but a good FM tuner would be a bonus. I believe I need at least 50 wpc into 8 ohms. Full remote control is essential. The only unit that I have auditioned is the Naim Uniti; it is excellent albeit expensive at $4250. Would appreciate learning about other options that meet the above criteria at all price points. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for that information. I subsequently read on the web site that the most recent version added a physical barrier to prevent dust from entering the CD play section.

Arcam Solo Movie 2.1, and as with the Solo Movie 5.1 you get SACD, DVD-A and HDCD decoding. 65WPC. I regret selling mine.

Great feature I fell in love with: it has a built in alarm clock so you can wake up to your favorite FM station or CD.

Look at the Arcam stuff like others have said.

Just to close the loop on this thread, I purchased the Naim Uniti and installed it today. So far, even with modest speaker cable, the performance with the Taminos is outstanding. Thanks to all who offered advice/suggestions.
