Against a decent used integrated at this level, £772 lands basically on the money: it sits just under the £774 median and inside the £760–£800 comparable band, so I’d call it fair rather than cheap. It is not a bargain-bin ask, but it is also not pushing into ambitious territory; it’s priced like a seller who knows the market and is staying sensible.
That makes it a worthwhile buy if the unit is tidy, because this is a well-regarded Naim with the kind of pace, grip and musical drive that still wins people over in real-world systems. For a Nait 2, the real upside is getting that classic Naim sound without paying a premium, especially if it has been looked after and is ready to plug in. I’d mainly want to confirm service history and general health, since age is the only meaningful variable here.

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.
