Speakers and TT for Uniti Atom

Hey guys! new here!

I’m in the search of a nice and “inexpensive” Turntable and speakers for my recently acquired Naim Uniti Atom (how good this little baby sounds!).

My main system was composed by:

Mastersound Compact 845 with Emision Lab 300B valves.
Sota Sapphire VI with Jelco 750D and Sound Smith Otello Ebony ed. cartridge.
Diapason Karis III speakers.
North Star DAC and Bluesound Node2 streamer.
High quality japanese cotton cables.

Sounds super good in my 18 sqm room. but sadly had to sell due to moving and fresh start back in my country.

Now We are moving to a new flat with more or less 15-20sqm room and don’t want to spend so much, eventually will come back to a good valve setup.

I must say this little NAIM blew me away, sure it doesn’t deliver same stage of open or 3D “fat” delicacy sound of my sold system but hey, is close!

After look for small speakers (I’m a sucker for BBC and mini monitors), ended up with a Sonus Faber Concertino MKI, again so close to Diapason, not being bass reflex they don’t have that powerful bass for such a small craftsmanship work of art, but really close with trumpets, mids, guitars and vocals, little bit more grainy but beautiful.

Now I’m wondering if changing for the B&W LS50 or any 6/7’s series small ones worths?

What concerns me is the little space I have from rear wall like 30cm max. that’s why tried to avoid bass rear ported reflex ones but still doubting.

I dismissed these ones due to price, don’t wanna go higher than 600€-700€ (what I paid for Concertinos and same price of B&W options):

ProAc Tablette 10 Sign - 1.150€
PMC twenty5 22i - 1.500€
Tannoy mini autograph 1.200€
Neat Iota Alpha - 1.500€
ATC SMC 11 - 1.200€  
Harbeth P3ESR - 1.400€  
Spendor Classic 4/5 - 1.500€  
Audio Physic Classic 3 800€
Audio Physic Step Plus 1.350€
Graham ls 3/5 - 2.000€
Roger LS3/5a - 1.900€

Which leaves me:

ATC SMC 7 - 700€
Whaferdale Denton 85th - 500€
Klipsch RP-600M - 400€
Kef LS50 - 700€

Would You trade Concertinos based in my music taste? Jazz, Bossa, Soul, Folk, Funk, Vocals, little rock.


Now about the Turntables, what I want is keep a minimal setup, so been reading bout the Technics 1500C which has phono pre amp inside, or Would You chose a good restored Thorens, Lenco... plus a cheap phono pre amp? Budget around 800-1000€ but if less, better!

My options are:

Technics SL1500C - 830€
Linn Axis restored with Basik Plus arm and Goldring 102.2GX - 400€
Rega Planar 3 version 1 with a new Ortofon MC-15 Super II installed and recently serviced for an expeety - 500€
Project Classic SB - 700€ with Ortofon MC quintet Red.
Lenco L75 restored with beautiful wood plinth, new gold RCA connectors and Jelco arm and Goldring E2 green - 600€
Clearaudio Concept with gold ring 1022 - 750€
Fluance RT85 - 500€


Which phono pre amp is good in 100-200€ range?

Also thought bout any Thorens TD160, Garrard 301/401, Marantz 6300 or Denon DP-62L restored.

My main goal is minimize space and waste, preserving good quality!

Sorry for my english, not my mother tongue.

THANKS for your time,
