Naim Nait 50 Anniversary

[twinkletoes]

Original RRP £2799
I paid £1599 for mine.
They dropped to £999 !

I should have got another at £999….

Oh well…… Sugden A21SE calling…..

had a sugden swapped it for the naim be prepared for the energy bill if you listen alot. 400watts (there and there about) as soon as you turn it on.

How ever it did sound great with my Klipsch heresy's actually they sound alot like naim.

 

[twinkletoes]

Which, hopefully, nobody paid.....

plenty did I think.....the price you pay for jumping on collectable items I guess

Yeah the price is/was way ahead of inflation, but wages are alot different as well material costs, I dont pretend to know there full costs of manufacture but it does feel that someone in a board room just picked a price from thin air. I think it was little too on the nose, 1400 and I think they would have sold the lot in a few days/weeks.

NAIM (NAIM) makes a man take things over
NAIM (NAIM) lets him lose hard to swallow
NAIM (NAIM) puts you there where things are hollow
NAIM (NAIM)
NAIM not your brain it's just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)
NAIM (NAIM)
NAIM (NAIM) what you like is in the limo
NAIM (NAIM) what you get is no tomorrow
NAIM (NAIM) what you need you have to borrow
NAIM (NAIM)

Surprised anyone paid that much.

And yet we've got brand new NAIT 50's @ £1699.

Agreed. But I do prefer the look of the olive Nait 2, which would be my choice at less than a grand, reconditioned. And I prefer its sound signature.

Yes, a much better looking amplifier. Haven’t heard one.

 

[Revolutions]

I’ve eyed up the olive amp on eBay more than once. Presume it would be cool in a small room system. But I’d be torn between that & a Brio.

Another Nait 50 incoming tomorrow…….
After months of demos and deliberation I snagged one of the few new boxed unit’s left in the uk at a fair price….
Delighted to have closure on the amp,selection

Hi, which amps were in your final round? And which speakers will be hooked on your Nait 50?

 

[RoA]

Martins Hifi?

With what looks like an imminent dearth of NAIM integrateds in the near future (Naim buyout impending), nice to see th3 wee NN50 already increasing in price……

You are right, but what can we do...Naim has wide portfolio of Unity integrated amps with streaming which will be priority for them for sure. "Classic components" will have not easy life I think. Since presentation of great 300 line, Naim is deadly silent about something new. I hope they will not convert just into producing some lifestyle hifi. BR.

Just listening to Dolphy's 'Outward Bound'.

What kind of magic did they sprinkle on this thing in Salisbury ...
