What matters most here: is £762 justified for a compact Naim power amp that usually trades closer to the middle of the used market? Against the recent GBP comparables, it sits above the £624 median and even a touch over the £870 75th percentile only if you count the broader bundle-style asking examples; on the core amp-only comparables, it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the NAP 100 is well regarded for clean, rhythmic drive and easy partnering with a wide range of systems, so the appeal is real if you want the Naim sound in a small chassis. At this price, the value hinges on condition, service history, and whether the proper interconnects, packaging, and any original accessories are included; if those are all there and the unit is clean, it’s still a serious piece, just not a standout buy.
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.
