Angeboten wird „NAP 250 DR - Power Amplifier“ von Naim Audio als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5134772651 endet am 05.10.2026 um 06:11 Uhr.
The Naim NAP 250-DR is a revered stereo power amplifier known for its loudspeaker-load tolerance and unusually high electrical efficiency, delivering 80W into 8Ω while approaching 250W into 4Ω. At €6,400, this asking price sits just below the 75th percentile of €6,403 from our database of five recent EUR listings, making it an ambitious but not outrageous figure for a unit in good condition compared to the median of €2,950.
This is a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking the classic Naim sound, as the -DR variant features the upgraded power supply and Darlington output stage that define its punchy, dynamic performance. The price reflects the rarity and desirability of the final 700-series iteration, which many consider the peak of the NAP 250 lineage before the superseding 250DS. Unless the listing reveals missing accessories or questionable service history, the €6,400 cost secures a flagship British amplifier that justifies its position near the top of the used market range.
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.
