I bough a pair of Tannoy Eyris 1 speakers and now I need an amp on 500€ range to go with DacMagic.. I found deal for the Naim nait 5i for 460€, do you think this would be a good amp for them ?
I listen mostly rock,acoustic sometimes some metal like, radiohead,dave matthews band, jimi hendrix,pink floyd, acdc,queens of stone age, phish,metallica, megadeth. I listened the speakers with a marantz Pm-6003 I liked it but with the faster stuff it lacked some speed, I dont like a to much forward and harsh sound like grado headphones.
Those amps you suggested are to much over my budget I only have 470? to
spend and the Naim Nait 5i I can get for 460? and the Pm 6003 I was
thinking its the same price. Prices here in portugal are over priced for example the CA 740A is 740? , you can check the amps price here
What I liked about the 6003 was
the smoothness, detail and warm felling the music had. Can the naim go
the same way but with enough juice with fast music?

460? for a nait 5i? I think is a fair price. In the Uk the cheapest ones go for £400 = 460?
Is a shame you can't hear it before you pay. As someone said here Naim sound is different than most and not everyone likes it. Bear in mind, the Nait 5i sounds very analog but it isn't the smoothest amplifier in the world, IMHO. It is a very good amplifier that sounds very rich, very realistic and very dynamic too. If that is what you are looking for, I don't think you will find better in its price range. BTW, Naim amplifiers sound much better with Naim speaker cable (Nac A5), so don't forget to buy it too.

WHFI S&V tested the old Nait 5i back in 2004 or 2005 with Tannoy Eyris 2s (i believe) speakers, so I would say the Naim would be a good match...

Try to audition Exposure 2010s2 or even 2010s NOS if you can find it somewhere. I think it would be a better match to your Eyris 1 then Naim 5i.
Few weeks ago I changed my Naim XS with Expo 3010s2 and partnered it with my existing Neat(s) Mometum 4i. Oh boy, they rock!

Aren't those exposures more than 1k ? I'm paying 460? for the naim.

In the past I had both, the Exposure 2010S and Nait 5i, but for my taste the Nait 5i is so much better in every way.
