Seems like a waste to buy great speakers and average electronics.... I have said many times, " Buy once , cry once" The Naim is the only one on that list I would consider. It feels like a quality piece and the volume control is slick...You can buy a wireless adapter for your sub, Rel makes one and so does Velodyne and others. I use one and it works great.
Compact DAC + Amp
All
recently moved to NY and need to downsize my HT. Right now I use 3.1 channels and planning to move to 2.1 channels.
For speakers i am considering Focal 1028 be or kanta 2. 1028 is on sale at $5000 and lowest price I have gotten on Kanta is $8500.
While most practical option is to get a soundbar (looking at Martin Logan or Golden eat), I considering a second option - a small footprint amp placed on a small wooden floating shelf under the wall mounted TV and feeding speakers through speaker cables run through the wall vertically. I need a small footprint DAC + Amp for that.
Options so far are
1. Sonos amp - major advantage is it can feed Sonos Sub wirelessly
2. NAD D3040
3. Peachtree Nova 150
4. Naim Uniti Atom
I heard Naim and liked it. But would like to stay under $2000 ideally. If size wasn’t a constraint, I would have probably considered used H190
Any othee options worth considering?
