Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4


I am buying a new system and have narrowed the choice two:

1. Ayre AX7E + Totem the ONE
2. Naim Nait XS+ Dynaudio Contour S1.4

My source will be a Bel Canto Dac 3 and apple lossless.

Both sytems can be listened to, but at different shops. I'm sure both are excellent, so no bad choice.

I would appreciate input from those with experience with these combinations or at least the components. How would you choose? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I would go for the Naim amp. Never met a Naim amp I didn't like. Ayre amps can sound great but the AX7 well I tried and brought it back to the shop in a hurry.
Cann't say to much about the speakers. Both Dynaudio and Totem make good products wether they are good for you, only you can decide that. But if you would give the options you mentioned I would defenetly go for option number 2.

Also naim CD players are also good I think.
