Advice needed for speakers for a NSS333 NAP252 NAP250-3 setup

Hi FrenchRooster,

Thank you for pointing out Alta Fedelta in Meerate. I have been there ten days ago to test the Diablos. They didn’t have Sonus Faber speakers, only a pair of used ones that were not in the range I am looking for. Nevertheless, I was impressed by the range of equipment they provide. I didn’t find other dealers with both SF and Naim.

Could you elaborate more on why SF and Naim can be match in hell? What speakers, amp and front-end?

I really liked Borresen speakers. My Proacs D20R will be replaced soon by a pair of Borresen X3. With all my respect to other brands, regardless of price these were one of the better sounding speakers in the last Florida Audio Show. There was a lot of people impressed with the M series and the x series. The technology, build quality and sound are great for the price (x series). This is my humble opinion and I know is subjective.

ATC SCM20 spring to mind…

Agreeeeee. I own a pair of Devore gibbon 3xl and atc scm19. Atc with naim is the happiest marriage. The 20 are by far superior to 19. Same driver but completely different speaker

I am thus considering buying a pair of bookshelf speaker. They should be of a quality and price similar to that of the Dali Epicon 6.

Driven by NC250 (but it’s a love affair with my Nait 50 too!)

Thank you all for your thoughtful advise.

Though there are many possibilities, it’s quite difficult to test them within a given area with the right setup.

I have made up my mind and ordered the TAD ME1. They will be driven by a NSS333, NAC252, NC250 system. While the preamp is one I had, the other components are new. Everything should arrive within the next couple of weeks. I pretty much look forward to it.

I’ll keep you posted.
