I had those speakers for a long time on a 150 and then a 200. They’ll reward all the way up to a 250 or beyond. I thought I’d always have them but the Special 40’s are much better (more transparent and resolving but still Dynaudio).Mine is a Nait 5i which I've recently reconnected and it has amazing bass through my dynaudio 1.3mkii contour. I'd love an xs3.
Of all the HiFi components I've had, from 1987 till now, the Naim CDX sticked with me the longest time. (about 5 or 6 years, which for me is quite rare, so it must've done something right!) It was in the late 90's/early 2000 though. If memory serves me well I think I sold or traded it for a CD5X + FC. (to match the looks of my then newly purchased Nait 5i)Can I ask what folks opinions are of the CDX
A match of 72 and Hicap is a real gem, no matter what you put behind as an amp. Unbeatable for the price, IMO.In the midst of my 500 series system lies a lowly NAT03, which I treasure as it was a birthday present from my wife 28 years ago.It entered a lowly 72/HC/250 system and is the only part of my system I will NEVER change
12S, 42, 32, 32.5, 62, 72, 82, 52, 160, 110, 250, CDi, CDX, CDS, CDPS, SNAPS, Hi-Cap, Supercap, NAIT, ARO, Armageddon, SBL, Muso.
Multiples of many of these and I'm sure I will have left some out.
I used Naim for >40 years but now all gone (bar the Muso) in favour of a RPi and a pair of active speakers.
What active speakers Steve?.sjb
Have a Naim XS2 , Had it for a couple of years and I've had it with it . Hate it . Don't like the sound and loathe the connections issues . Hope to change soon to Copland csa70 , Sugden or Lavardin [ although my previous one blew up ]
