This is a buyer’s market for this model at the moment, but the £799 ask is still ambitious versus the recent used pool. With 8 comparable GBP listings, the median is £529 and the 75th percentile is £763, so this sits above the top quartile and looks priced for a very strong example rather than a routine used one.
That said, a clean Naim power amp remains a worthwhile buy: these are well-liked for pace, drive, and musical grip, and the NAP 140 has a solid reputation in sensible, system-matched setups. If it’s been carefully kept, ideally with a known service history and no missing essentials, the premium is easier to justify; if not, I’d want either more provenance or a lower number before calling it a straightforward grab.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
