one piece of kit that drags people away from naim kit seems to be speakers.two that seem to be the flavour of the month are guru and zu druids speakers .this may be cost or sound quality .would be interested to know other people have chosen this route and if there are any other gems that go well with naim amps .

Audiovector Keith, without a doubt. But hampered by only having one retail outlet in the UK. If more people could hear them I think they would have a sizable fan club here.

Keith,

Focals (1007/1027/1037) -- I really like the 1037s and am struggling to find something better for my room as a package even with a higher cost.

Hi Chris, have you heard new S1/s3 Audiovector range?, I am interested in Audiovectors, maybe S3 floorstanders or S1 + sub, in signature or avantgarde,

I own a pair of AV S1 Signature. I bougt them about 2 months ago and love them! Very dynamic and "musical". A huge step up from my previous MA Bronzes, of course
I drive them with an Arcam A70, but they obviously have more on offer so I'm looking at Naim at the moment. Probably Nait 5i.

And, I was at a Audiovector demo this week, the S3-series was showcased together with a Supernait. Very powerful, dynamic and involving sound. The music played was mostly 70:s rock, The Beatles and some reggae tune so not really my type of music, but it sounded fantastic. So, if you can you should give them a listen.

You know, I simply can't any more understand this eternal issue Naim/Speakers. Seems that lots of people love Naim gear but take it for granted that Naim loudspeakers are out of the question. I even heard the Italian distributor say that in my face, at my request for info on Naim speakers' availability.
I have a beautiful pair of Naim SBLs, that came after a number of all possible other buys and options, and I can serenely say that you don't fully catch Naim sound philosophy until you try Naim speakers.
I understand that not everybody love Allaes, but I think that n-Sats are amazing, and there's a number of used Sbls on the market. In my older days I even loved IBLs.
I think that Naim speakers are the best option for Naim electronics, but who am I to say it?
That said, cheers to all.
