Naim Uniti Nova with PMC twenty5 24i Floorstanding Speakers

For the ultimate in room-filling power, no other all-in-one music-streaming player beats a Naim Uniti Nova. Delight in exceptional sound from all your favourite music and radio stations, and even give your TV a big sonic boost.

Designed and built in Britain for both looks and longevity, Uniti Nova is true class act. Despite offering more of everything, Uniti Nova remains easy to use. Within minutes, you can be enjoying all the major music-streaming services, easy Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth playback, and even explore the seamless multi-room music capabilities.

This package includes a pair of the awesome PMC twenty5 24i floorstanding speakers. The largest two-way speaker in the PMC twenty5 range, the twenty5.24i delivers compelling life-like performances with realism, precision, bite and power. Even in medium-to-large listening rooms, its seamlessly integrated drivers and ATL™ saturate the space with music, giving you a hi-fidelity experience like no other in a slender and graceful cabinet design that will delight your senses without dominating your room. With the grilles in place, the twenty5.24i produces a sound that many could mistake for that of a larger three-way speaker.

This package includes a 2m pair of Chord ShawlineX pre-terminated speaker cables worth £280 (see below), you can also pay a little more for a longer 3m, 4m or 5m pair if required.

I really, really like the Uniti Nova. This is a fearsomely capable, beautifully made, comprehensively specified statement of just how good an all-in-one system can potentially be. It makes the business of selling the virtues of separate systems - including Naim’s own units - that much harder at yet another price point. This goes toe to toe with them, offers some features they don’t have, takes up less space and uses one less plug while it does it.
This is a lot of money to pay for a system. Of course, it looks good, is built to last and is lavishly specified.
But by the time you’ve auditioned and purchased appropriate speakers you’re looking, realistically, at a total price of anything between £6k and £9k. That’s nobody’s idea of a frivolous purchase. But if you have the money and inclination, and want a product of overarching convenience that doesn’t compromise on performance in the slightest, you owe it to yourself to hear the Uniti Nova. It’s really very good indeed.
