Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??

Emil:

Yes I will be playing rock and pop music. Music
with a good beat. So Spendors are maybe too
polite for rock? Warm and pacey music is what I
am after..

Thanks
Tom

First, I must remind you that I have no experience with Naim and Spendor so take it for what its worth.
Ive heard some Spendors- afew years ago- sounding great with jazz and classical but a little to polite for rock.
But if warm and pacey is what you're looking for, Spendors might be just what you're after.
I personally and YMMV wouldnt be looking for warmth in a speaker if I prefer rock.
Pick up a used pair of 5se here on Audiogon. I dont think you'll have much trouble reselling them if they dont do it for you.
Just my opinion, of course.

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.

Hello.
Tannoy DC3's. I have a pair and have listened to them
with Nain equipment which my Son owns. Don't remember all the models but do remember the NAIT5 amp. I used it until I purchased a MAC MA2275. I like the "British Sound"

After much experimentation, I ended up pairing my Nait and Naim CD5x with Reference 3a Dulcets. I find this a delightful small room combo for a wide range of music, rhythmic, direct, warm.
