Naim Nait 5i-2 for Totem Sttaf

I am close to going with the Nait 5i-2 for driving Totem Sttafs. The room is moderate size and the levels will be modest (apartment). Music is jazz, vocal and small classical. I am looking for feedback from people who have heard this combination. Creek 5350 is also a possibility, although I am drawn to the musicality of Naim. This system is in Geneva Switzerland, so the options are somewhat limited. Any comments on the Naim Sttaf combo?

I haven't heard the combination, but Totem speakers are highly thought of by many on the Naim forum, and the Sttafs are said to be among the easiest Totems to drive. The Nait 5i/5i-2 is a very capable integrated. If you are attracted to the Naim presentation, it sounds like an excellent match.

A friend on another forum has the Nait/Sttaf combo and loves it. Haven't heard it, but I've heard other Totems with the Nait and other Naim gear and it was always a great match to my ears.

The Nait 5i-2 is a better integrated than the Creek to my ears. That's a personal thing that I'm sure some would disagree on. If you like what Naim does, you'll most likely really like what the Nait and Sttaf do together IMO.

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered the 5i today. Should be a great match with the Sttaf.
