The Rough Guide to Naim Audio
For over thirty-five years Naim Audio has striven to design and manufacture the world’s finest high-fidelity audio products: compact disc players, hard disk players, tuners, amplifiers, loudspeakers and all-in-one systems.
Listening to a Naim system for instance is not about “bass” or “treble” or “stereo image”, but about forgetting the illusion of reproduction and connecting with the music.
Choosing a Naim system is an experience like no other too. Choose Naim and we will work tirelessly to make sure your expectations are not just satisfied but exceeded, and that the “best” is judged by the only person that really matters: you
We have been selling Naim Audio for over 30 years and without doubt it is one of our favourite and most popular brands. As mentioned above Naim equipment doesn't necessarily provide you with the biggest soundstage or deliver the ultimate refinement, but what it does deliver - pace, rhythm, timing, foot tapping addictiveness starts here, it delivers in spades.
Brand loyalty with Naim owners is incredible, as they say.....your nobody without a Naim!
The Naim Range
The i Series |
The Nait 5i Integrated Amplifier
The entry level amplifier from Naim is £850.00, delivers 50 real watts per channel and sounds absolutely superb, it will drive some proper
speakers and is the best sub £1000.00 amplifier
we sell by quite some margin.
Very popular in the demonstration room!
A lot people often comment "only 50 watts per channel, that's not very much", whilst on paper maybe, but all Naim amplifiers deliver serious current.
It's an amplifier...not a wattifier!
Listen and you'll see (or hear) |

The XS Series
The Naim Nait XS Integrated Amplifier is £1495.00 and is the entry level product is the Naim XS Series.
A siginificant step up in performance over the Naim Nait 5i, the XS delivers a lot more current (it will drive your speakers more efficiently, giving them more control and drive), is more transparent and refined and simply delivers more music.
It's flexible as well, as and when the upgrade bug bites (it always does) you can add either a Naim Flat-Cap 2 XS Power Supply or a Naim Hi-Cap 2 Power Supply - this pays dividends to musicality and can always be used further up the chain when you eventually trade in your XS!
Again at it's price the XS is a stunning product and one we simply love to demonstrate. |

The Naim CD5 XS CD player is the next CD player up in the range from the CD5i, it is priced at £1950.00.
Partnered with, well, a variety of different things it works beautifully. A real upgrade over its baby brother.
One of our best selling CD players, the CD5 XS is real foot tapper and is seriously addictive!
With a little care and attention paid to it, this really punches above its weight.

The Naim NAC 152 XS Pre Amplifier is the first pre amp in the Naim range. It is priced at £975.00 and its natural partner is the Naim NAP 155 XS Power Amplifier (priced at £1115.00).
A CD5 XS is the ideal disc spinner to go with this pair and as a combination for the money nothing makes music as sweet as this.

The Naim FlatCap XS Power Supply can be used on the CD5 XS or the NAC 152 XS Pre Amp. The benefits a FlatCap brings to the party makes it a bit of no brainer....an ideal first upgrade for someone.
A very popular product indeed.
