This is a buyer’s market at £799: it sits just above the £792 25th percentile and below the £826 median, so the asking price is fair-to-good, not a steal but still clearly in sensible territory. Against the recent GBP comp set, it’s priced like an honest mid-pack listing rather than an ambitious one.
That makes it appealing because this model is well liked for its lively, muscular presentation and strong all-round drive, with enough current delivery to handle both revealing speakers and day-to-day listening. If the unit is genuinely clean and properly functioning, the upside is a solid integrated at a reasonable entry point; with this class of Naim, I’d mainly want confirmation of service history, remote, and any original packaging or paperwork, since those details can matter to resale and peace of mind.
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.
