Naim amps

I've owned Naim gear in the past including the Nait 5i but never with horns so IMHO I dont see this pair working well together.

 

Naim is known for there sometimes aggressive presentation and with the right speaker can provide a toe-tapping good time.

With horns, I see the combo being shrill to the point of being unlistenable but then I could be wrong :)

Dear rbtwsp,

I can tell you that my current set is a Naim / Klipsch combination and I am very happy with it.

My set:

Palladium 17B

Naim Nap 250 Amp

Naim Nac 282 Pre

Naim CDX-2 cd-player

I have to say that the combination sound beautiful, rich, open, lots of detail, never sharp.

Naim amps need high inductance cables or the amps may oscillate. Their own NAC A5 cables are designed for use with their amps, so that is a good choice. This was true two years ago, maybe Naim amp models designed more recently no longer have that requirement? I would check before I bought one of their amps. You might need to also purchase their speaker cables.

I dont believe its an issue with the 5i or current Naim amps. Older amps did have a problem for sure
