Just bought Uniti - which speakers recommended?

Posted by: solaay47 on 22 April 2012

I've just upgraded from Cyrus kit to a UnitiQute and I'm amazed by the sound quality difference. I need new speakers and I'm keen to understand which speaker and cable would you recommend befitting a Qute? My musical tastes leans towards pop, rock and indie / alternative - all CD quality.

Any advice welcomed. Thanks

I have NaimUniti with small Harbeths (P3ESR) and I am very pleased with them. However, you have to listen to yourself to decide (if you are more into bass they might not suit you). There seem to quite unanimous consensus that the NACA5 cables are way to go (I myself have QED 79 strand at the moment though).

Hi I bought a second hand pair of N-SATs to pair with my NaimUniti. Got them for significantly less than £500 in January. Not a bad option if you want to stick with Naim (they get very favourable reports and I'm happy with them). Of course, it's partly down to whether you're after floorstanders or stand/wallmounters (I've wallmounted mine at the cost of £60 per bracket). I'm using QED Silver Anniversary XT but that's because I'm running it along skirting board and door frame. (I also have a SuperUniti which I use NACA5 with). Cheers Ian

I'm using QED 79 with my UQ but NACA5 with my SuperUniti.

I have a unity and Neat Motive 1 speakers. The Neat's are cracking and will serve you well if you decide to add an upgrade...great sound and partner very well with Naim products. Check out their website!

I'm using Eclipse TD150s - nothing quite like 'em and I wouldn't change them for all the tea in Yorkshire.

Bought DALI Mentor Menuets at the Bristol Hifi show. Best £900 I've spent. Mounted on wall stands (Dali) in a large kitchen they sound great. They give my Revels in my listening room a run for their money!

Let your ears decide at the end of the day, but give the Dali's an audition.

I'm using B&W CM-1 with my Uniti and really love this small combo

I am using B&W CM1 too. They sound very good but I find that sometime the bass goes out of control at higher volumes.
