Les,
Quite possibly, if the Statement amp were the only product Naim made, but I suspect Naim will continue to manufacture a few lower-end components.

Thanks Joe, I do see that coming although I do have reservations
that a multiple paralleled/bridged module configuration is the way
forward - as this particular product appears to employ.
Oh, it produces the power but my own investigations indicate that
bridged modules refuse to work together in close harmony and
that's perhaps the reason that the NAP500 with its bridged format,
doesn't audition as well as the conventionally configured NAP300.
I doubt whether any system is capable of using more than a fraction
of the rated power of this item so much of the expensive 'muscle' is
totally superfluous.
