Well the KEFs are fine loudspeakers and therefore I would definitely go for a flatcap2 next. Then 112/150, then loudspeakers.

Yes, go for the flatcap; it'll add substantially! But wait till your boxes are "burned in", you'll be amazed when you add the fc. You can always upgrade the speakers after that - or go the 112/150 route.

Enjoy!

From your last post it looks like you've already bought a flatcap...

I'm all for balance myself. In my view I would have gone for a pair of speakers that will allow an open window on the Naim gear, and bring much bigger benefits when upgrading. As a start, I'd suggest:

Naim Intro2

Dynaudio Audience 42 (£400) on Dynaudio Masterstands (£200).

EPOS m12 (£500), probably on Masterstands again.

Dynaudio Audience 52 (£577) definitely on Masterstands.

Frank.

Why buy brand new?
Speaker technology doesn't appear to have moved on at anywhere near the speed of CD / amp technology.

Save yourself a bunch of cash and check out Loot an Ebay.
e.g. how about a set of Keliedhs for £250 (loot).

Hi frank,

wrong guess from u smile i have not buy the flatcap yet. but i always like to plan ahead... so it eliminate the time when installin the new equipment.

neverthless i will keep in mind those speakers tat u have suggested. good work!!!

though i have not heard the dynaudio b4 but im rather impress wif her durin one of the visit at my frds hse. the onli worry i have is the nait5 might not have the juice to drive it...
