streamer+speaker suggestion for supernait 2

Posted by: hicut on 20 September 2018

Hi everyone,

I am building my first hifi set up and I have found a very nice deal and bought an SN2.

Now I am planning to spend the rest of my budget ( between 2.000 -2.500 EUR) in a smart way so that I will have a nice combination. It seems to me the best option will be Blusound Node2 and Focal Aria 926.

Do you think of any other option for streamer+speaker within this budget?

By the way my room is 31 sqm (5m x 7.2m) and I will listen little bit of everything jazz, classical to heavy metal

Welcome to the forum and to Naim! I owned an SN2 for many years and really enjoyed it.

You have SO many speaker choices. The best advice is to find speakers that sound good to YOU in YOUR home with your SN2. Again the best advice is to do an in-home demo, as your room at home acoustically is probably nothing like the demo room at the local store. You'd be surprised at how different speakers can sound in different rooms and with different amps.

The Bluesound Node2 definitely is feature filled and well priced. I've never heard one however. In your price range there are not a ton of options, but I do see that some of the Cambridge Audio streamers are well-reviewed as well. You may get a ton more musicality from spending more on Cambridge Audio, but again you'd have to listen to both.
