there is nothing else that can hold a candle to it...... most audiophiles stick with Naim.

Naim started out as a one man band and rapidly rose to become Britains most dominant hifi manufacturer.
The reason why it is so popular is that it effortlessly communicates music like no other brand.
It has a legion of devoted followers for one simple reason, there is nothing else that can hold a candle to it.
If you prefer something else, then fair enough but most audiophiles stick with Naim.
I have two systems because it sounds good, is totally reliable, it has a brilliant after sales service, is built like a tank and goes on and on day after day.
The bodging fraternity are the only downside, you have to make sure you have got a pure and unsullied piece of kit and not something that some old soldering iron monkey has got his hands on and murdered the sound.

You really had me going there, for a minute!

Mick, you are deluded, but in a nice way ! The Naim 'sound', which has changed somewhat through the ages, is just one take on sonic presentation; no better, no worse; just different.
Despite Naim's following (and I am a Naim user), I very much doubt that they represent the majority of audiophiles.
Your reasons for having two such systems (which I don't understand) would point me to a far better single system. Apart from the recent Statements, the top 552/500 etc. is not exactly in pipe-dream territory if you're already well up the ladder.
Squeezebox touch and some actives should sound ok
Been looking at the Cambridge one. Do Sonos have one? I haven't heard of the other but I'll look into it. If I can get rid of the laptop I will as I've already bought a nas drive.
