What speakers do you have?

Merlin TSM MMM for me at the end of a Naim Nait 5i-2

The Merlins are not made anymore though.

Spendor D7 dark wallnut

First proper speakers I owned were Heybrooks. I then bought an LP12 and Naim Pre/power amps. For the past 10years+I have used SL2,s active and have no wish to change. Prior to that I owned a pair of SBL,s and sold them for more than they cost me new. My active SL2 system is in a separate room with solid walls, solid floors and tongue and groove ceiling. Just perfect for these great speakers. I would add that the SBLs  gave me excellent sound for 17 years and the only reason I sold them was to get the SL2,s.

A pair of vintage Rega ELA's and a pair of even older AR18s (modified by Graham's way back when)

Both still sound great.

Hi..I have Kudos X2 in oak and love them..work perfectly with my UQ2 and Nap 100.

Currently enjoy a pair of SBLs. Have had IBLs and SL2s in the past.........oh, and Allaes. Only Naim speakers since 1990.

Interesting how some people go from SL2s to SBLs, others vice versa

I've been very pleased with my X2s too. I've used them with a Superuniti, then a 200DR, and I've heard them with a 250 and a 300 as well. At every stage, they've been capable of showing the talents of improved amplification and sources. My dealer describes them as his secret weapon.

+1 for the Kudos X2s. This is the oldest component I now own. Almost 4 years ..

Kudos C10s on the end of a 172XS and 250.2.

Well .. I posted earlier on that I had Maggies... but that just changed. Now, Elac BS244, I did change out the jumpers for pure silver Totem tress. All I can say about these speakers is ... OMG.

Great speakers, I haven't heard ELAC but I constantly read good reviews. Andrew Jones formerly of TAD has apparently designed new Elac's and they are being regarded by ALL in the hifi press as the bargain of the century!

Very interesting design!

I like the look. Bet they do great with calypso and reggae .

Same old, no need to change.

Bazz,

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Classic. The book matching of the wood grains on those veneers are lovely and well captured in the photo. Testimony to a hand made product.

Not used to seeing the foams looking so sharp-edged either. Nice one Bazz.

I've had n-Sats four times, now I've bought a pair of Q Acoustics 3020 for my studio system.. They're good, aren't they? And nice looking.

Main speakers, SBLs.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.  

My SBLs celebrate their 21st birthday this year. I run them actively and have yet to hear anything I'd swap them for.

So nice Bazz, and naim got it so right all those years ago.

Looks great Bazz! That wall was made for SBL's- just perfect.

ATB,

Yamaha NS1000m's, still going strong.  Although I need to have the speaker spring clips replaced.
