2nd System... done and done

Posted by: Zipperheadbanjo on 10 December 2016

I've been pondering a 2nd system to go in our tv room for some time. Had pondered getting a Naim Atom, but I really wanted it in pre christmas... and didn't want to spend that much dough. So last week I moved my Muso from the Kitchen to the TV room planning to use the Muso as a really good soundbar, and just get a QB for the kitchen.

Then I looked at the price of a new QB, and wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money, figuring I could probably find something used for similar $ that would provide better sound. Sure enough... with the recent launch of the new Uniti line, lots of the old Uniti range at great prices on the used market.

Long story short... picked up a used Unitilite for marginally more than a new QB... picked up a pair of Neat Iota Alpha speakers yesterday... wow. Great little system. Speakers will need some time to run in. Will post some pics to the system pics thread soon :-)

Any excuse for picture taking!

I use the same in my second system as well the speakers do need a fair bit of running in.

I was using Chord speaker cable to start with but changed to SL speaker cables in my main system which freed up Nac A5 this has made an incredible differnce.

I'm just using some old audioquest Go-4's that I had kicking around for speaker cables. Will find something a little better / more suitable in the New Year.

The Sopra's are insanely good :-)

My first naim was a unitilite and then I got sucked into the upgrading.  Looking back now I'm sure I'd be happy with just a unitilite again - it's crackingly good one box setup.
