There are only 105 dinosaurs in the forum?
Here’s my system-
UNITI CORE

135s
S600
Hi, most of my Olive gear is in for service so I hooked up the CD12 and Kontrol to the 135s (recently serviced) driving the SL2s. Sounds fantastic!
I am I believe a distinct minority on this forum and it’s predecessor in really not liking the 250.
It only seemed to work anywhere near my expectations when driven by my 52 and Supercap. The 135s are to me dramatically superior: the problem is getting a good pair.
I got mine 15 years ago from James at TomTom and they had not even been listed on the website.
The 250 has and had many fans; it just did not work for me. Jon Honeyball (I think) put a Statement pre in front of his 135s and was seriously impressed with what he experienced.
Just move up the picture a few inches and hope she doesn’t pick up the difference…
I got away with it.
When my new Phantom cable arrives, that will free up NACA5 and allow me to set up a second, ‘Olive’ and CB system. This will have CDX with HiLine, XPS, NAC-82 with CB HiCap, Chrome Bumper 250 and Dynaudio 1.8 Mk 2s. Back to the Future early noughties system !

Nait 3R Naked.
Kuma, what’s your favorite piece of olive gear?
Nait 3R and 52/SC.
A 72 is nice, too but can’t deal with a lack of remote.
Very interesting that you mention the Nait 3R. I just got one. AV Options recapped it for me. I really like it. It’s got the olive prat in spades and has surprised me to the upside. I’m not sure why it doesn’t get more love. I could see how it’s a bit too energetic for some folks but I like that.
What in particular do you like about it?
Nait 3 looks perfect in that setting and I agree it’s an underrated amp.
