Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At this price point, you'd typically eye a solid Cambridge Audio or Rotel integrated amp, but the Naim Nait 2 offers that addictive Naim snap and PRaT if it's in decent shape. The AUD1,200 asking price is a bargain against our recent comps—median AUD1,420, with 25th percentile at AUD1,297 and 75th at AUD1,497—making it a steal if condition checks out.

Buyers, verify the power supply first; these olive green beauties from the early '80s often suffer capacitor failures or hum from dried electrolytics. Probe for originality too—ensure the NAIT badge, service history, and original DIN cables are present, as mods or missing bits tank resale. Test phono stage and all inputs for crackle-free switching.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Naim Audio

Naim Audio, a cornerstone of British hi-fi excellence, traces its origins to 1973 when Julian Vereker, a self-taught engineer, racing driver, and music enthusiast, formally incorporated the company in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Vereker's journey began earlier, in 1969, experimenting with tape recording and sound-to-light boxes before designing his first power amplifier in 1971. Amid the British hi-fi industry's recession, he secured a pivotal contract with Capital Radio, blending entrepreneurial grit with a passion for authentic sound reproduction that challenged conventional wisdom.

The brand specializes in premium integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital streamers, DACs, and compact music systems, often featuring built-in amplification for streamlined setups. While not delving into speakers—beyond a historical foray—or headphones and turntables, Naim emphasizes modular, upgradable components that prioritize pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT), a signature sonic philosophy rooted in the "source first" approach alongside contemporaries like Linn.

Naim holds a commanding position in the high-end market, revered by discerning audiophiles for its handmade, innovative systems that deliver emotional musical engagement over mere specifications. Now part of VerVent Audio Group following a 2011 merger with Focal, it exports to over 45 countries, sustaining a cult following for resilient, influential designs that transcend economic cycles.
