£1,350 is a fair asking price, sitting almost exactly on the £1,326 median and well below the £1,716 upper quartile for recent examples.
The NAIT XS 3 remains a particularly appealing Naim integrated: lively, rhythmically convincing, and capable of driving a wide range of speakers, with a useful built-in MM phono stage, proper headphone output, five analogue inputs, and 70W per channel. Its pre/power separation and upgrade path also leave room to grow. At this price, condition matters more than chasing a bargain: confirm the remote, Naim link plug, original packaging if relevant, and clean operation of every input and control. If it is tidy and fully functional, this looks like a sound buy rather than an overreach.
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.
