Found a good deal for a Nait XS2 and pulled the trigger. Now the chain is Metrum Acoustic Amethyst dac > Naim Nait XS2 > Kudos X2 Comparing to my previous Nuprime stack now I can ear more realism, a more vivid and live-like sound. Fortunately no hum or strange sounds, only a light bzzz with the...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I look around for the best deal I can find. Regarding cables I’ve Chord Epic Twin, Kimber 4tc or Audiowuest Rocket 33 speakers cables, for power a Cardas cable and various interconnect cables to test. I understand that both Naim or Rega are good for my...

I had a 3010 some time ago, I don’t know why but I didn’t like it very much in my room with the Kudos, maybe it was a some kind of mismatch with the source at that time, I don’t know but I found it a little unrefined and some times harsh.

Many thanks Panderos. I think I’ll go for the best deal I can find or try to listen something in a store (sure not with my speakers). Rega is more attractive from a money saving point of view, on the other side Naim is Naim, fascinating. A firmed of mine had a Naim Supernait 2 some years ago and...

Many thanks Darkagesound. You’re right, Naim is like cash if bought at a good price used, maybe it is easier to resell than Rega.

Hi all, After some time I go back to writing here for advice. I have Kudos X2 and would like to change amplification, I would like something English to match the little Kudos and I'm evaluating Naim or Rega. Specifically I'm oriented on Naim XS2 (used) or Rega Elex mk4 (new), the budget doesn't...

Ok X2 in the house... Only 2 songs for Now but i can say that i like the way they sound. My temporary super quick setup to check that all is ok: iPhone, Chord mojo, exposure 3010, chord epic twin speakers cables and Kudos X2... The exposure has a lot of power... 1/3 on the volume knob is enough...

Sure.

Yes very quick, my short list was Kudos X2, Neat SX2 or Totem Arro... i found a good deal for the Kudos (small, right color, good sound and cheaper than the other two).

thanks to all, finally got a pair of Kudos X2 at a reasonable price I think (used). I'll let you know how they sound.

thanks again, I take advantage of your kindness to ask you how they play with genres like rock, classic rock, blues and similar? I'm not looking for boomy bass, prefer a more controlled and tight bass, I don't (I can't) listen to high volume...

thanks for the reply, so they are similar also in sound as esthetically

sorry double post

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm looking for a small (very small) tower and at last I'm considering the Kudos X2 or the Neat sx2. I can't have a demo (no seller near) so I'm trying to understand if they sound similar as they look or are any relevant differences in sound signature/quality. They'll go in...
