New Naim Integrated Amp!!! Nait XS

[Ajani]

Actually would love a pair of Totem Model-1 Signature's, but the 150x poweramp won't have enough drive for these beauties. I would need a 250 poweramp at minimum, but this is 3x the cost of my present amp

Regardless, the blokes over at Naim forum highly recommend the Hawk's with my present setup. Only one Totem dealer now in Vancouver, so crossing my fingers I can home audition these speakers next year

My next purchases are a Naim Hi-Line interconnect and Squeezebox Duet, then need to work out what I'm going to do for headphones

cheers,

Have you decided on a Headphone Amp Yet? Are you going with Naim or are you going to try for a totally different sound for the Headphone setup?

I'm committed to an all Naim system, so I'm looking at a Headline 2 with NAPSC2 power supply. But I still have a hesitation in that the Stax system I auditioned absolutely blew away the Naim system, the difference was enormous for roughly the same price I would be paying for a Naim/HD650 system with headphone cable upgrade. Only thing is that I don't have the room for the Stax headphone amp, which uses proprietary connectors, so I'm strongly debating which direction I'd like to take this

Decisions decisions!
