....and produced amplifiers with the brand on.Yes but Naim existed as a business prior to that.
Not as Naim Audio Limited they didn’t which was my point as it was alluded to a few posts ago that they had. At the end of the day if Naim want to take 1973 and the formation of the limited company as their start date then that’s really up to them. I come across lots of startups who were working on their products sometimes for years before they decided to form a commercial company and all of them consider their business start date as the inception of the commercial company even if they had made a few sales as a private entity beforehand. It’s totally logical especially from a tax perspective.Yes but Naim existed as a business prior to that.
My mistake, I must have conflated that with the one they put in the loudspeakers for Capital Radio. NAS apparently, but they have this down as 1973. Perhaps they felt it was time to incorporate as a limited company in order to supply Capital, else risk being on Capital's books when HM's auditors came round (and/or risk personal liability when the amps eventually blew up ).I haven't seen any pre '73 flyers but wasn't the NAB300 from 1979?

Apollo R arrived this week
Then saw the US price... 3699 dollars!
Maybe it’s 3 oz of platinum, which would help justify the price.Is that a brushed alloy front panel now?, looks a lot more classy.
The Naim importer in the U.S. does not answer or return phone calls.
That's a big 'no thanks' on me buying or owning Naim gear.
