Really nice setup. I bet it performs well with all that space around those speaker.

Thank you. The size and the space it affords is good, the windows less so for audio, though itā€™s a great room for living, which is worth something :slight_smile: Though the space around the speakers helps with this as well, I think. Overall Iā€™m delighted with the sound, but there is much more potential with some treatment. Just starting to look into ā€¦ I see another project on the horizon

Thatā€™s a solid, good-looking remote for sure.

I was very disappointed with the Nova remote having changed from a Qute, which had a very solid remote. This one looks rather better though.

How are you finding the sound quality of the remote? Does it need much run in? :smiley:

Itā€™s pre owned and therefore a couple of years old, so is fully run in. The thing thatā€™s always disappointed me about the NDX2 is its remote, which is to me not as nice as the previous Uniti remote that went with my SuperUniti and then 272. The new one is just too shiny and plasticky and somehow just not very classy. Itā€™s perfectly functional of course, which is what ultimately matters but youā€™d hope that a Ā£5,000+ streamer would come with something a bit nicer.

Thanks, yes I was referring to the Nova.

I would move the clothes dryer to the left a little.

Lovely looking system and room!

This is much better than the shiny piano black Uniti series remotes. The button lay out looks identical, I wonder if this is compatible with Uniti series as well ?

Hi Graham,
It is possible to use two power amplifiers instead of three, by wiring the bass drivers in parallel?
since Ovator is a two-way design. The two bass drivers in each loudspeaker are fed with the same part of the frequency spectrum. The cost reduction is significant .
Did you try bi amplification in the first place or did you choose tre from the beginning?

I started with two NAP300s, using a Y connector made by Naim so that both bass units could be driven by a single power amp.

Later I demoed using three 300s and there was an audible improvement in SQ, with tighter control over the bass. Hence why I know have three power amps.

I canā€™t imagine that it wouldnā€™t work as all the steamers use the same software platform. You may get a surprise if you ask a dealer for a price of a new oneā€¦

You still canā€™t do much with it though. Unlike the NDS, and I assume the N272, which you had previously, it cannot be used to browse your music directory and select an album or track, for instance.

Yes I have got the Naim NDX.
