Naim 5i

Looking for feedback on the compatibility of the Naim 5i with Totem Hawk speakers. I am looking for a detailed dynamic sound. Bass doesn't have to be extremely deep but at least be tight. My current system consists of a NAD C372 Totem Hawk and Rega Apollo. The NAD has a very good sound however I still feel that I'm missing some of the inner details of the music. Appreciate any input.

Don't know about "inner details" Naim is not known for that sort of thing.
You will get a better sound that may make you want to get up and dance.
Naim and Totem work very well together. Many dealers carry both. I believe Totem has used Naim gear at shows to demo their speakers.

If you're looking for detail try a Cyrus 8vs2 - probably a nice match to Totem...

also, excellent match for Hawks: Simaudio i-3 or, even better, i-5.

Cyrus is really fast and detailed, so that is a good recommendation for audition as well.
