Allaes v Ovator s400s

Posted by: Dalamtian on 13 September 2018

My current set up is a Naim Nova and Naim Allaes, I have recently upgraded from a Superuniti which is a superb piece of equipment which I was really pleased with until I made the mistake of listening to the Nova. With such an unexpected upgrade it’s got me questioning my speakers, they sound really good with the Nova but would I get more out of it if I changed my speakers?  I’ve always liked the Ovator s400s but not heard them in my room which I appreciate is an essential issue, I won’t be able to demo first due to them only available on the second hand market. The Allaes are obviously a much older design and things move on hence the itch to change them, I would like the new speakers to have a bigger sound stage, be a bit “tighter” sounding and have a more extended bass. I’m also having trouble finding a pair!
