Recommendations for bookshelf speakers with an Atom

[timbre]

I run my Atom with Totem Acoustic Rainmakers, they are on my desk, no longer available unless you can find somebody with old stock like I did, or second hand. They are small and bass is limited, but enough for me. I think speaker cables also have a considerable impact on smaller speakers and bass, for example Rainmakers love the NACA5. It might also be worth trying some of the other Totems if you can.

I would also like to try PMC DB1 Gold. Recommended amp power starts at 20W

Naim Atom bookshelf speakers paring

I have a first version Unitiqute with Ls50’s in my office and they sound lovely. But they didn’t so much in the living room as I had to place them close to the wall. In the office, they are wall mounted and near field, and one of them is mounted to a support post in the middle of the room so plenty of space behind it. Used Herbie’s grungebuster material wherever they meet the mounts (inexpensive Pinnacle brand). They can get quite boomy if used next to a wall on stands.
