Naim or Jeff Rowland?

Hi, I'm looking to go down the full streaming path, ideally I don't want to spend more than £3,500, I've heard the Naim Super Uniti, which was pretty good. I've been offered a Jeff Rowland Concerto Integrated amp for £1,600 so one option would be to combine that with a Naim ND5 XS

Or

ND5 XS / Nait XS

Or stick with the Naim Super uniti

I'm not massively familiar with Jeff rowland, but it seems to review well. I am running a pair of B&W 805's. Any thoughts on the above welcome. Thanks

Miami,

Since you call yourself Miami, I assume you live there. If thats the case, I know a really good dealer for Rowland, and another one for Naim. If you want, I can give you info on the 2 stores.

Rowland and Naim sound very different from each other. I've owned components from both brands. I think Naim is very overrated and too expensive for what they give you. In my opinion, the Rowland would be a much better choice given your speakers. It's better equipped to deal with the tweeters on the 805's. I know first hand. The same tweeters with in my 802's.
