Speakers of about 5000 range to go with Uniti Nova

Posted by: Rahul Uchil on 18 September 2017

I am planning on buying  the Naim Uniti Nova. I have a budget of about 5000 pounds for the speakers. I listen mostly to classic rock - Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd etc but I am also fond of heavier stuff like Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC DC etc, Pearl Jam is another favourite of mine . Not really into classical music but I am hoping that will change after having this set up.

So basically I am looking for speakers which have a good sound-stage, separation of instruments etc. I prefer engaging speakers which are not too laid back. Don't like over bright speakers which induce listening fatigue either.My listening room size is 11.4 X 13.9 feet.
I will not be able to get a home demo so I can’t really try out speakers in my room before buying them. Also there aren't any place I can get a demo either. I know that it is not possible to know in advance how things will turn out but just wanted some advice on the same.

yes - my point(s) entirely

Well it may be from what they have said that black/olive boxes will continue in some form. But sales and the market direction will eventually shape what happens, unless Naim provides the new “black box” direction, themselves. And traditionally, they have done this in the past, and I hope they continue to do so.

My question is why allow the Nova et al to be upgradable if there is no matching box to allow the upgrade - from a purely aesthetic point of view?

Well perhaps they will, but I am sure after announcing the launch Of the Uniti range, we would only find out when it really is ready, if 5hey ever would make such a move.

I bet Naim will provide new range asap

It will be new design and offcourse they will not admit up to the minute of launch to avoid sales stop

Pretty much same scenario when Nap 500/Nait 5 launched

Well, put PMC right at the bottom of your list. 

Better still, listen to a couple of brands in a shop and report back, so you have a starting point, andothers can help you from there.

As a stepping stone to a Classic series system.
