Superb performance and condition. Installed by Naim end of March 2022. Complete with all accessories and flight case. Serial number 500016. (Current new price £84999)
Are you comparing this against a full Statement system, or just the integrated chassis on its own? On that basis, £46,750 looks fair to strong rather than cheap: the Statement platform launched at roughly £155,000 in the UK for the full NAC S1 plus pair of NAP S1 monoblocks, so a single integrated listing at under a third of that is not out of line for a prestige used piece.
That matters because this is one of Naim’s most celebrated statement products: huge current delivery, exceptional grip, and the sort of scale and control that makes difficult speakers wake up in a way few amps can match. In excellent condition, the real upside is getting into a near-mythic Naim flagship with serious resale cachet; if original crates, remote, and provenance are included, that only strengthens the 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.
