Im looking at setting up a near field setup in a small bedroom and would like to add a NAP power amp…NAP 100 springs to mind but what other lower powered NAPS are worth considering? Have things got better with age? (RCA inputs would be best)

AFAIK Naim power amps don’t have RCA inputs. Pics on the net show that one which does is the NAP100, which you have already identified. Possibly your best bet.

You don’t mention what pre-amp you have Paul. Do you need an analogue input? The NAP 100 was designed to work with the DAC-V1 (no analogue input) but not exclusively of course. They work very well together.

Depending on what you want to use it with, the custom install ci 102 might suit.
Only 1 rca line level input though, which might be limiting but you can add eg beresford to give you more.
Such a cool looking photo!!!
Nap 100 have RCA input.
The older half width Nap 90, 110 or 140 are DIN4 only
Nap 100 DO NOT have preamp psu on board as opposite to any other Nap poweramp below Nap 250.
IME Nap 100 is Naim’s best kept Nap secret - cheap as chips(not something you can say about current Naim range), superb performance in smaller rooms and no hum.
Probably my Allergri + in the short term.
I had an Allegri+ for a while, but couldn’t get it to sound right with a Naim power amp so I sold it. Maybe different for you but I’m not overly hopeful that it would be a good combination.
As for RCA inputs, just get an RCA to DIN cable if you need to.
