A gorgeous set-up, nicely put together.

My wonderful little friend, the Atom driving my new Audiovector R3 Arreté like a dream. Impressive! I can easily live with it until the upcoming upgrade.

Love the way you sneaked some After Eight mints into the first shot. Class! System looks the same

I’m interested to know how you came to choose the Arrete R3’s with the Naim Uniti Atom?

I didn’t. I paired the Atom with a couple of QR3. Then I couldn’t say no to a set of one year old R3s Now I’m out of money, but soon it will be replaced with something more suitable.

Wow that’s a speaker step-up! I’m sure the Atom does a fine job but going up the streamer/amp ladder will bring some major rewards. Something to lick your lips over!

Second system time, all is recycled from upgrading my main system except the allaes which were bought for s second system, but not this one. All was bought used or ex dem except the hicap and Fraim bits and nothing is DR and certainly not the 250. Nothing has been serviced but it all sounds very enjoyable, though being in an apartment I don’t ask it to play at symphonic or rock concert levels. Today I brought the top fraim shelf, having given up for now the plan to use it to try a second ps on my ND555, which seems to spend more time in Salisbury than in my system. I find the full Fraim shelf really makes the CDX2, more so than a 555ps.

Yes!! Way to go!
I tend to keep my second system to a low box count as servicing costs have got a bit scary in recent years…. Atom / ATC11’s works a treat and nice and discrete compared to a full fraim multi box system.

Were I to move the 282/Hi/250 on I’d be looking at something with valves for a second system that’s never on long enough for Naim boxes to warm up properly but it’s simpler to keep what I have.
You absolutely CAN’T take your eyes off a 2 year old grandson for a moment.
I was cleaning up after cooking breakfast and the other 3 adults let him loose in the media room🤦🏻♂️
Needless to say, I don’t blame George…
The drivers were going to be replace next year any way. Seems like that is now going to be this year…
PS. I shall be talking to Graham next week about a pair of PMC Prodigy 1’s to demo. I was looking for a good reason to try them on Mrs Q’s system, seems like I’ve found one🫣

Oh no. You could try the hoover tick to suck them back out.

They’re very old, close to 30 years. At least 2 of them have torn🤦🏻♂️
I’ve managed to avoid that kind of thing so far. No grandkids yet to test the theory though.

Ouch. Something about sympathy, perspective, but mostly commiserations, no-one wants to see speakers like that regardless of the cause.
Have a dented SX3 pic - hopefully old drivers can be replaced easily enough? Are they useable? Or you’re not risking it?

I think you’ll like the prodigy 1, I was so close to buying them as they are a fun little box.
