Obviously I didn't explain myself well. I wasn't talking about listening, although it has its importance, but about what the declared data meant. In the 80s the builders began to pursue these design concepts and declared this data in the manuals because it indicated an important characteristic...

I'm surprised by the comments you're making. These concepts should be known, it is true that now they are no longer talked about because they are now well-known topics. Even current amplifiers have instantaneous power much higher than the declared continuous power although perhaps not at those...

Hi everyone. The indication pre-amplifier is a transcription error, I know very well that it is an integrated amplifier, the wording PE indicates enveloped power and indicates reserve power. The NAD 3100 PE is an amplifier built by NAD when NAD was still English and was famous at that time for...

Well guys........ come on, no one else can tell me anything.....

Good morning everyone. I recovered an old NAD 3100 pe amp, from 1990, and listening to it I was surprised by how it sounds. Many times we are surprised by how certain amplifiers from a few years ago sound, especially when compared to the best amplifiers currently in use. Anyone knows this...

On where did you read this review, I would like to read it.

The loudspeakers are the ProAc Response DT8, very musical, they fill the soundstage well. The sound doesn't seem tiring to me, I listen to music even for 8-10 hours a day, I don't have this feeling.

HI. In the end after various listening tests, without thinking too much about the cost, I jumped on the Naim Supernait 3. Satisfied, great dynamics and impact, clear, wide and deep sonic presence.

I take note of what I am reading on these last posts, the experience I had with the nait xs3, tried for more than a month, even playing for several hours, did not cause me that annoyance you described. Maybe the combination with the speakers can make a difference, I listened to it at home with...

I understand what you generally mean, but what do you mean when you say "I still had bad experiences with the brand".

My post was not understood. The reference to symphonic music was intended to express how demanding it is for an audio system from a purely technical point of view, I repeat technical. Musical tastes have nothing to do with it. Symphonic music due to its technical characteristics, the extension...

Even the naim nait xs3 with 70w has no problem driving the ProAc Response DT8, floorstanding speakers with 4ohm nominal impedance and 90db of efficiency, speakers not particularly easy to drive, filling the retailer's listening room in a fantastic way, above all with symphonic music which by...

The listening tests I did to compare the naim xs3 and the rega Elicit MK5, and they were different listening sessions, were done with speakers with nominal impedance of 4ohm and 90 db of efficiency, the ProAc Response DT8. There were no piloting problems, both for Elicit mk5 and naim xs3, and I...

I had another hearing this morning and I can confirm my opinion already expressed. The naim is by no means inferior in the bass in both extension and definition. What I can add to what has already been said in my previous post is that naim has a better dynamic, this is particularly noticeable...

And which amp did you buy, I'm curious.
