Dear friends,
I am looking for a naim amp to complete my setup consisting of a cambridge audio 740c cdp and dynaudio focus 110 speakers in a room about 4m by 4m. this is my first foray into naim amplification after a denon, marantz and cambridge audio amps didnt quite do it for me. i just love the prat factor but couldnt muster enough $ for new unit.
there is a used 112x/150x set with a flat cap for around 950 quid from a private seller which is about 5 years old. i have read not so good things about the 112 and am a little hesistant especially given the age of the item. the price though, is tempting. Not sure if this is a risky purchase.
Another newer ( almost 1 year old) 122x/150x set is going for about 1500 pounds from another private seller. i was seriously considering this deal until i came across a Nait XS for the same money. I read that the XS is great but wouldnt do well with low quality digital files and it doesnt ahve the smoothness to music like the pre/power combo.
I can't listen to any of the amps as all of them are used items, hence need some advice for the good people here. this amp will be used for at least 5 years so trying to avoid future upgrades.
Thanks in advance.
