Naim 5i

[admin_exported]

I'm thinking of investing into the Naim 5i, this would replace using my Onkyo 875 AV Amplifier for stereo sound from my iPod.

I will be using my Arcam iRdock connected by Chord Chrimson interconnect. Will this be a superb upgrade or is it not really going to sound any better than my current set up, My stereo speakers will be B&W 603 S3 floorstanders.

Cheers
Jon

I would have thought that it would be a huge upgrade, but a home demo should confirm one way or the other.

One hell of a difference mate.. AV amps are terrible for 2 ch stereo music playback, you will never look back once you listen to the Naim!

I agree. This should be a big difference moving to a stereo amp for stereo duties instead of using your AV amp.

My question would be what stereo amp

Wow thanks for the advice guys, I will in this instance demo a few amps and see which I prefer!

I will let you know which I opt for.

Cheers

Speaking from 1st hand experience with the Nait 5i, Do it now..... No Ifs or Buts just just buy one. You will adore it!

I'd agree its a massive difference from your bog standard stereo amp, never mind an AV amp!
