£650 is a good buy for a Naim NAIT XS 2 if it’s clean and fully working; that sits a touch above the £620 asking seen on a recent sold listing, so it’s not a giveaway, but it’s still in the sensible used zone for this model. A well-kept example at £650 is fair-to-strong value rather than ambitious.
It’s well liked because it gives you that classic Naim mix of pace, drive and grip, with enough power for a wide range of speakers and a genuinely enjoyable, rhythmic presentation. The XS 2 also has useful flexibility — DIN/RCA inputs, pre-out/main-in style connectivity and a good headphone stage — so if the casework is tidy and the remote plus original box/manuals are included, that adds real appeal.
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.
