Lovely setup and photo Chris great to see another pair of Allae’s
Thank you, and to all who have liked. I suspect Allaes came at an interesting time in Naim’s history, liked by those who were new to Naim, not so much by the old guard weaned on SBLs.
But this is a pics thread…
Nice looking system👍
Allaes, great design/looks and setup correctly give an amazing performance. My current pair are on the end of a UQ2 in a second system and this setup sounds better than it should and only a few months back I was contemplating selling them for a measly £400 !!!
My girlfriend now wants to join the forum so that she can slip in a pic of ‘her little Sony’
Never ceases to amaze me what a UQ2 can do into a decent full range speaker. I run mine with Linn Kabers and as you say, sounds way better than it has any right too. In fact a few years back i used to run SL2s with the UQ2 as well…

Why not, Chris? I am willing to bet that her Sony does not hum.
I agree Gary its a wonderful little power house and a future classic for sure as long as the screens hold out
I turn mine off all the time as i’m wary of that too😀
Excellent Gary
I see a Quad FM2 tuner, the last valve tuner Quad made…
I do like that system. The Fraim with just 3 components and the close to wall positioning of the SL2 speakers show that a system not need to dominate a room. I rather like the black and cherry combination. Very nice indeed
Thanks James, I’m pleased with the way things have turned out with my setup and the urge to upgrade has subsided.
Also using the medium Fraim legs the 555 burndy loop is an inch from the floor and great overall for the other cables in the setup.
^^^ this! I am about to Fraim my very first Naim system and need guidance. Which size Fraim stacks, and order for a: 500DR, N272 with 555PS-DR, a Tascam DAT player, turntable, phono stage.
I tried stuffing some Scala V2s into a room slightly bigger than this one, and getting results has been an uphill battle for me. Lots of reflection points that needed treatment, and I’m still working on placement. OP how does yours sound?
My first try on posting a pic of my system. Naim Nova, Kudos X2( i believe, the small ones), Mac Mini running Roon, LG Oled TV ( Sebastian Vettel obviously just won his first race in ages), Clearaudio Concept.
I love this forum, so please keep it up.
Continuing the discussion from System Pics 2019:Welcome to the Naim Forum and thanks for sharing your great real world system.
Best regards, BF
