Like many very popular things it's become fashionable to claim to dislike Naim! You will rarely find anyone who admits to watching a soap opera yet millions do, or to find someone that claims to like U2 yet their concert tours are always sold out. It's actually a compliment in many ways! It will pass and the cult will survive ;-)
well you will have to change your sign on name to Clint Eastwood, "The man with no naim"?

well I must be a rare one - I don't watch soaps and never heard a U2 record/song ( I think, not intentionally )

Yes I can see your point but we are all humans and when we embark on the journey of starting with a Naim system, our hearts and emotions are musically uplifted to heights we have never known before . The music becomes clearer and more alive and fills our souls with joy and love. We race to get home after the days work just to put some music on and all this all comes from those little black boxes built with precision and care at Salisbury.
The experience of listening to music on a Naim system transcends all others and our immediate reaction is to communicate our passion and joy to all who will listen, such is the loyalty and love that Naim inspires to us who listen to music on it.
People who use Naim are nice people who want others to experience their joy and that means we communicate our good fortune every so often to those that we want to experience music with the same vibrancy as we hear it.
Yesterday I played Maria Callas on my Naim and the music was fantastic and every man, woman and child in the world should be allowed to experience the wonderful sounds that I was privileged to hear.
Such is the enthusiasm that Naim whips up, there is nothing that even comes near to it and it is only natural that we want to communicate our experiences to others.
We want nothing than for others to join in with us and listen to music with the same level of satisfaction that we have.
I hope you can forgive our passion.
Regards

I have never heard a naim amp. am curious to know what they sound like and what the fuss is all about. I have heard they boogy but dont image thats all I know
Do you consider timing to be an important part of music reproducton, the feeling everything is of a piece so to speak, not lacklustre, slow but engaging, holding your attention, your description of letting the music through unhindered is basically exactly the thing you state as nonesense a little later.,that basically sums up pace rhythm & timing, i find it enhances anything i listen to, i know some think it's a marketing nonesense, not for me, take it away & the music is found wanting in my experience,Hopefully, all any amp should do is just let the music through unhindered. I believe this is what the original Naim designer tried to do. Where all this PRAT nonsense came from I've no idea.
