A new-reference Naim interconnect at this level is usually judged by performance more than sticker price, but against your database anchor this £137,500 asking is massively above the typical used market: well over the £1,532 median and even above the £35,555 75th percentile, so it reads as extremely ambitious rather than merely strong money. With only 4 comps, the spread is obviously noisy, but there’s no way to frame this as normal used pricing.
What makes it worth considering is the reputation: the SUPER LUMINA line is prized for low-noise transparency, timing, and keeping the musical flow intact without blunting dynamics. If this is genuinely rare, mint, and complete with original packaging and provenance, that can help a collector justify a premium; otherwise, a buyer should be looking for exceptional condition and verification that it’s exactly the version being advertised, because at this price the burden of proof is very high.
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.
