Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??


I am looking for a set of speakers that
produce music with warmth and good pace.
Yes colored sound... Detail is not as
important. I want warm, pacy, involving
music with no edge.

The room is 14' by 20'. The speakers will
be 5 feet apart. 3 feet from each side wall
and 1.5 feet from the back wall. Floorstanders
or monitors with a super tight sub would work.

I will be buying used and my price range is
$1,000 to $1,5000.

So far I am thinking:

NEAT Petite with a sub
Spendor
Linn Ninka

Many Thanks
Tom

Hey there-
What about Naim SBL's? I have a Hicapped CD3.5 that sounds amazing through the SBL's. Of course, it also sounds great through my KEF 104/2's. If you're looking for a monitor-type speaker, the older Tannoys, such as the Devons, sound excellent, or the Altec Segovias, if you are able to find a pair. All these speakers are efficient enough to work well with a Nait 5. IMHO, unless you have a RTA and a lot of time and money to spend on room treatment as well as not much concern where you might ultimately have to put the thing for best sound, subs aren't the answer.
