Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??

Hey there-
What about Naim SBL's? I have a Hicapped CD3.5 that sounds amazing through the SBL's. Of course, it also sounds great through my KEF 104/2's. If you're looking for a monitor-type speaker, the older Tannoys, such as the Devons, sound excellent, or the Altec Segovias, if you are able to find a pair. All these speakers are efficient enough to work well with a Nait 5. IMHO, unless you have a RTA and a lot of time and money to spend on room treatment as well as not much concern where you might ultimately have to put the thing for best sound, subs aren't the answer.

Hello.
Tannoy DC3's. I have a pair and have listened to them
with Nain equipment which my Son owns. Don't remember all the models but do remember the NAIT5 amp. I used it until I purchased a MAC MA2275. I like the "British Sound"

After much experimentation, I ended up pairing my Nait and Naim CD5x with Reference 3a Dulcets. I find this a delightful small room combo for a wide range of music, rhythmic, direct, warm.

You found the Dulcets warm? I had a pair of Decapos with Naim Nait5 and CD5 and would'nt consider the sound "warm".
I'd describe the sound as very transparent and on the analytical side.

Emil; Transparent I certainly agree with. Personally, I would not have described the sound as on the 'analytical side'; not for my Dulcets, nor for the De Capos (which I heard with different electronics). With all these terms, we may be using the same words, but trying to capture different personal experience.

In using the term 'warm' I was trying to capture a satisfying natural richness in the mid-range, and highs that were clear without excessive brightness. I did not mean coloured in the sense of 'warm and fuzzy'. 'Analytic' in this context puts me in mind of a sound that may be detailed, but not particularly involving; somewhat flat or dry if you like. You may mean something quite different.
