Naim Uniti Star

Naim Audio's 'Uniti Star' all-in-one network hifi system combines the functionality and sonic superiority of its siblings, the Uniti Atom and Uniti Core, to form an intuitive and flexible single box streaming/CD playing ripping audio system. Utilising Naim's prolific and renowned knowledge of quality amplification design, superior CD player (and ripper) construction and ability to simplify and portray complicated streaming methods in an easy-to-understand and quality retaining system - the Uniti Star is a serious step-up from its predecessors. 

The amplification stage of the Uniti Star borrows class A/B technology from the company's critically acclaimed NAIT 5Si amplifier from their range of hifi separates, driven by a large power supply and implemented with SMD technology. This guarantees a well-timed and highly rhythmic music performance, regardless of wireless or hard-wired source. 

All digital sources are decoded by the Star's powerful and extremely accurate 40-bit SHARC DSP processor (fourth generation). This processor is managed by a unique Naim software to reduce potential jitter to an absolute minimum as well as up-sample lesser quality formats and files that may be running through the system. This superior digital brain lends itself not only to playing CDs and WiFi/Bluetooth aptX streamed music, but also opens the opportunity to retrieve the precious content of your CD collection without compromise. Instead of using the noisy and inferior CD ripping system on your PC or laptop - rip directly from the Star's CD mechanism and DAC technology and save the lossless files to a USB-connected hard-drive or SD card for playback on the network.

KEF LS50's

With an innovative design that tips its hats to the BBC monitors of the 70s, they are already one of the most recognized speakers around, with a beautiful high gloss finish and a dead centre rose gold Uni-Q driver they are not a speaker you will forget quickly. A sound usually only available on larger speakers, these compact mini monitors will do nothing but impress & offers a multi-dimensional soundstage usually unavailable from such a compact design & will hardly miss a beat even when driven hard.

Although a lot different in looks the design principles have been taken from the flagship KEF blade speakers. From the driver technology, baffle design & internal damping these can all be followed back to the blades. Compact in proportions and yet offering full-bodied, stereo sound with 3 dimensional sound staging, the LS50 is a 2-way design featuring a 130mm Uni-Q bass/ midrange driver with a 25mm dome tweeter located in the centre of the Uni-Q unit. A wide frequency range of 47Hz - 45kHz enables the LS50 to captivate the listener on any style of music. 100W power handling with a sensitivity of 85dB/W yields a truly enjoyable and accomplished mini loudspeaker. Piano black finish. The LS50 not only won What Hifi's 'Best Stand mount' in its price range but also won their Readers' Award.
