Sean's 2 Channel System
After a busy but exciting move, Christine and I have settled in to our new place.
I was able to utilize one of the spare rooms for a 2 channel listening space.
I haven't really gotten to set up everything just right yet but here is how it stands now.
Shout out to Jock for the Naim Fraim; thank you, Jock!

Re: Sean's 2 Channel System
Thank you, everyone! It is neat to finally have a dedicated listening area.
A little down the road I am hoping to upgrade the source (Chord Hugo or Naim V1 DAC are on the short list) and add some acoustic panels.
After that, I want to relax, spend money on new music and enjoy the show.Sean

Re: Sean's 2 Channel System
The Supernait 2 is a lovely piece of gear. Superb, enjoy.
I have a friend that went through a bunch of Naim digital but ended up liking the Bryston BDP-1/BDA-2 combo best with his Supernait 2. You can even do it in stages by starting with the BDP and adding the BDA or Naim dac later.

Re: Sean's 2 Channel System
Thank you, Mark.
I actually have read good accounts of pairing the Bryston digital gear with Naim! I wanted to look into that more closely as well, so thank you for mentioning that. I loved my 4B when I had it. Bryston is one hell of a company.

Re: Sean's 2 Channel System
Sean, Howard "Sandman" has a BDP-1 that he may let go for the right price. He had upgraded for the BDP-2. Originally Posted by Sean

Waiting on our demos. We did have experience with them at axpona in our room. They are another league better than Venom X (which we have in the store). The Theta sounds like “Omega Lite”. Very...
