My 1st Naim NAIT 50 has returned to home study and SCM11 duties… A mere 25W nominal rating and it’s capable of gripping the SCM11 with aplomb… Don’t worry too much about amplifier rating and speaker demands, trust your ears….

What’s driving them ? Source / amp? Comfort levels ?

I can’t see past my MEZE 109 to be honest. They scale up and down remarkably well with various sources/amps…. They’re comfortable for hours on end……. I’d have a look at MEZE personally. Price long forgotten when quality remains……. Meze Planars available and they look sublime…

Is black oak a new finish or the original finish substituted by black satin?

Yeah.. ok…which means by default that any amplifier or preamplifier without correction is operating hamstrung and will sound worse than one with………………

Superb, I didn't even realise they were still available when I bought my 2nd NN50 last week…£999 off RICHERs ?

I have tried room correction.. Lyngdorf DIRAC WiiM All attempted with various software, mics, etc and nothing comes close to setting up stereo hifi with the right speakers to suit the room matched to the right amp for the speakers… I think for corrected rooms, music halls, cinemas, etc...

Only speaker cables showing in my systems are those into my SCM11s as I’ve now got SOLIDSTEEL SS6 stands.. Prior to that ALL my cabling runs are discreet.

I’ve never used Aliexpress, how does customs and import charges get applied or dealt with ? And are their delivery dates realistic ?

I’ve no idea , but looking to upgrade my streaming options I’ll look at the LAiV too

Let us know how it performs, cheaper solution than a QUTEST

Speakers to suit room. Amp to suit speakers. Source to suit ears. Sorted.

I never said the supplied powerlline lite mains cable was unsuited.. I said it’s best plugged direct to mains outlet. The nait50 is a high current design. An extension block may restrict the ability of the Naim to deliver the full suite of current output to the speakers. In addition, you...
