Yes may well do, thats what I heard there before.CnoEvil said:I would use the LS 50s for their revealing nature.
Its never stopped you saying Rega and now Icon is the only way to go. Hypocrite or what?stevebrock said:BigH
No one this forum can tell you what goes with what and if you will like it or not - just go and demo loads of stuff.
Tell us, please.plastic penguin said:And yes, I can give a very good idea on Naim amplification. Probably heard Naim amps more than any other.
Well, the two dealers I've frequented the most 'Infidelity' and what used to be Audio-T in Epsom were both Naim dealers. If you asked to hear a Rotel or Arcam they would bring out a Naim of some description.chebby said:Tell us, please.plastic penguin said:And yes, I can give a very good idea on Naim amplification.

I owned a Naim amp (in an all Naim system) for two years. I know of some regulars here who have owned Naim systems for a lot longer than that.
However, you have "probably heard Naim amps more than any other" so I am curious.
A few demos and some background music playing at a a shop hardly qualifies anyone to say "probably heard Naim amps more than any other".plastic penguin said:Well, the two dealers I've frequented the most 'Infidelity' and what used to be Audio-T in Epsom were both Naim dealers.

And when these dealers had background music it was generally a Naim.
Plus I've had 2 Nait 5s (5, 5i and 5i Italic) on home dem over the years (Infidelity), and heard XS set-up once just prior to buying the Leema (Audio-T) with Spendor speakers (SA-1 & A5).
All the Naims I've heard has either been connected to MAs, PMCs and MonoPulse.
Oh, and I heard the XS with Dyn Contours at PJ Hi-fi (Guildford).
Whatever reply you would try and shoot down. But over a 10-year period I've heard more Naims than any brand (I haven't owned), yet by contrast, Infidelity are a specialist Rega dealer, and apart from the briefest shop dem of the Elicit-R, one-day home dem of the Rega dac (and the Apollo you found at Audio-T, Camberley), I have little experience of that brand. Did hear the original Planar TTs from Lasky's many moons ago but that's it.chebby said:A few demos and some background music playing at a a shop hardly qualifies anyone to say "probably heard Naim amps more than any other".plastic penguin said:Well, the two dealers I've frequented the most 'Infidelity' and what used to be Audio-T in Epsom were both Naim dealers.

To be fair PP, you are claiming to have heard Naim amplifiers more than everyone else. ("Probably heard Naim amps more than any other.") That is a big claim given that owners listen to their Naim amplifiers every day, often for years. Even if we don't count all the Naim owners (and ex-owners), we also have at least four Naim dealers here who must have heard them more than you.

That's all well and good, but where are the Naim owners (or ex-Naim owners) on this thread, apart from your good self and David, who recommended Sonus Faber speakers.chebby said:To be fair PP, you are claiming to have heard Naim amplifiers more than everyone else.
