Posted by: Alix78 on 05 March 2016

Hi,

I'm new in the forum. 6 month ago I bougth a naim qute2 and B & W CM8 S2. I listen music in my salon, 35 smq. I think that B&W need more power and I want yo buy Nap100. What you think ? Is better if I buy an amplifier with more watt? Or with Nap100 is ok?

thak's so much

Beautiful speakers, but you would need a 200 minimum,  and even that might not be enough to do the speakers justice.

The problem is that if I buy a Nap200 is bettere to sell qute 2 and buy SuperUniti. What you think? The price of qute2+nap200 is the same of SuperUniti ...

If you can do the effort: SU. 

Advice: make An audition

The SuperUniti has a better DAC than the UQ2 and the 200 has a DR power supply that you can't use because it is intended to power a preamp.

If it were me, I would go with the SuperUniti.

Ok,  and if now I buy nap200 and later ( 4 month) I'll buy a nac172?

what you think? Is probably better or the same of SU?

some suggestion? 

Thank's...

The 172 also doesn't have the higher quality DAC that the SU has and you still aren't using the DR part of the 200.

Personally I would still go with the SU unless you are intending to go for something better than the 172XS, for example 152XS preamp or better and ND5XS streamer with the NAP 200, which is quite a lot more money. Or 272 and 250DR which is even more money.

Hello,

at the end I can't buy a Super Uniti. So probably I'm going to buy a Nap200. What do you think about the connection with qute2 + Nap200 (with cm8)  Is the there a big difference respect the solution where I use only the qute 2 ? 

Please someone to help me. I try to leasen in some dealer but is not so easy 

.thank's alot
