Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your comments. I had a serious look at the new Wiim integrated amp (I had set up the Wiim dac + streamer for a not-very-picky friend and the sound was great), and considered the Evo 150 as well . I think that just powered speakers with a streamer/dac or something like the Naim Mu-So would also have worked. In the end, wimp that I am, I went back to the Naim Uniti Atom (I found a really good deal on a demo unit). So there’s my round trip.
I would still love suggestions on speakers. The cast iron Jerns are intriguing... I hear mixed feedback on the Kef LS50W though they seem to be everywhere. I’ll think about the B&Ws as well. Thanks again.
