Nait 5 integrated amp.rnImmaculate lightly used condition.rnOwned from new.rnRemote (barely used), manual (great condition), power cable, original box and packaging present rnCollection only.
The NAIT 5 is a compact, charismatic British integrated that brings genuine Naim soul to small rooms, but this £350 asking price is ambitious compared to the current used market. Ground truth from three recent GBP listings shows a median of £280, with the 75th percentile at £316; £350 sits well above that upper quartile, making it a tough sell unless the condition is pristine and accessories are complete.
That said, the NAIT 5 remains a rewarding buy for its punchy bass, musical timing, and clean, uncolored sound that outperforms many rivals in its size class. If this listing is from an original owner with the power cable and original box, the £350 might reflect that care, but at this price you’d need to be sure there’s no wear on the fascia or knurled knobs. For a fair deal, aim closer to £280–£300; above that, the NAIT 5si or 5i2 often offers more modern features for similar money.
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.
