For Who?
Contents
Are you in the fortunate position of being able to choose in this class? If so, we’re jealous. Is the Naim for you? That depends on what you are looking for. Who is still under the impression that Naim plays warm and cozy, or very relaxed. Think again. The NAC 552, ND 555 and NAP 300 DR (or 500 DR) is fast, rhythmic, clean and dynamic. The level of performance is high. Very high. This set effortlessly picks everything out of the music and puts it big and impressive.
But you do have to pay attention to matching. Because at this level everything counts. Anyone who spends this much money should expect something. In short: take your time and try out a few nice speakers without further ado.
Conclusion
These are very extensive sets. And therefore also very complex reviews to write. But we have done our best to give you a solid impression of what stands out about this Naim system. We understand the combination with Kudos without a doubt. With the Kudos Titan 606 you can enjoy an extremely open midrange. And an unprecedented resolution. But it also goes well with our Focal Sopra No1. A bit more 'relaxed' and a bit warmer. Taste.The Naim is not everyone's friend as you have read. But that is often the case at this level where all components are important. Fitting and measuring. Tuning until you like it. And it should be no surprise that with this equipment a very high level is achievable! What a beautiful hobby!
