This one is fairly priced rather than a bargain: at £3,599, it sits just below the £3,774 median and within the main cluster of recent asks, so it looks like a sensible buy rather than an outlier. It is also comfortably above the £3,455 25th percentile, so I would not call it a strong deal on price alone.
What makes it worth a look is the amplifier itself: this is a highly regarded, proper high-current Naim power amp with the drive, grip, and timing that suit revealing systems and difficult speakers. If the listing is clean and complete, the appeal is in getting serious Naim performance without paying top-of-market money; I’d just want the usual reassurance on service history, condition, and whether the seller has the original packaging and any relevant accessories.
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.
