New Naim Integrated Amp!!! Nait XS

[Ajani]

I auditioned the Nait XS last week with my speakers, was really impressed! But didn't have an opportunity to audition against a Nait 5i-2 or SuperNait. I've never been a fan of the SuperNait though, but if I were to purchase my system again I would give high consideration to the XS over my 122/150 separates, and spent the difference on a Hi-Line interconnect.

Thanks for the info.... It's good to a get an idea of how well the XS compares to the 122/150 combo.

Quick question: have you listened to a Naim(electronics)/Rega(speakers) combo and what did you think of it? I see Rega has out a new RS range, that should compliment the Nait 5i-2 or XS well (in theory)...

I haven't auditioned Naim/Rega for myself, but I do know a few people who swear by Rega Kyte, you can often find these on Audiogon or eBay for under $150.

Best match for Naim separates are... Naim speakers! And of course the usual suspects.. Neat, Rega, Epos, Linn, Sonus Faber, Totem, Royd, Spendor, Shahinian

You may want to consider a Nait 5i with Neat Motive 2's, great combination!

This is the prob I have... I would love to try Naim, but I'd probably have to buy without auditioning and the only recommended speaker I've heard on your Naim list is Totem...

So when the time comes to buy, I'll have to either play it safe and get Monitor Audio and a non-Naim amp or risk Naim and Rega or Epos (without having auditioned any of them)...

Mr. P, if you wanna go the Stax route, yer gonna feel it! D'ya recall their electrostatic loudspeaker? Sorta looked like Apogee, if'n I recall right....
