    The new McIntosh amps could be great. I was asking about amps from them last year like these new ones, but I was too early. I have to tell you that as much as I love my McIntosh gear, the Supernait2 is a different story. McIntosh is more laid back and subdued compared to the Naim's lively, a little more upfront and toe tapping PRAT. You really need to see what speakers you want to pair them with and what you are ultimately are looking for in a system.

    Thanks Joe......I really appreciate your feedback! I just have to cover or try to, my bases on the amp end. I've narrowed it down to Dynaudio or PMC speaker wise but Sonus Faber is in the mix too.

    So..saw your post here. I just sold my LFD NCSE and bought a SN2 because finally tired of no remote control of volume. Be interested in what speakers you settle on for your SN2 as well as the size of the room you plan to use them in.
    My room is about 14 X 16 with a patio door on one side and the kitchen on the other......may I ask what speakers you are using with your SN2?

    Geoffrey - The KEF LS50's definitely have a following. There are actually quite a few excellent speakers in that budget range. I will have a better idea of the Spatial Audio speakers in a month or so. You could call Clayton at Spatial Audio and see if he will send you a pair of the little Holograms to try. Another thought is Maggie 1.7's with a nice sub (or two) would be worth considering. DynAudio and PSB both make some nice stuff as well across lots of price points. The Revel F208 is another strong contender. You also have the new Golden Ear Triton Ones. Loads of good choices!
