So NZ$18K for the NSS 333 bare. NDX is $13K. With PS, another $15K = $33K.
Same numbers again for the NAC352, $33K. I paid $18K for a 3 year old 552
So, $66K for the full set of pre/power.
NZ$28K for a pair of NAP350s. Currently, new 300s are discounted to $13,000. . I paid $7K for mine used.
Maxed out new NC system $94K + speakers…… Can’t see a big market at that pricing.

That’s just crazy money and out of reach for a large part of existing Naim customers never mind trying to encourage new buyers.

Don’t build your house - you can afford it
Something has to give otherwise goodbye to Naim at the upper level in Aus and NZ
Items like the Nova, Atom , MuSo etc will continue to sell I guess

I’ve speculated those figures based on the US prices, but I think ts fairly accurate, no pricing released here or news about getting a NAIT50.
Today you can buy a NDX2/XPS DR new for $20K. Estimated cost of 333/300 is $33K. That’s a big difference.
I still our best option is crime.

Having said all this re pricing though
When I purchased the full 500 (cd) 6 box system from memory the cost was circa $100k
It was an absolutely magnificent system - cost less than that with trade ins of course
Should have just kept it
Be interesting to see if a full 300 6 box system gets close to the current 500 system, I guess that’s the test
My eyes are watering just thinking about much the new 500 stuff will be.

May never see it to these shores Pete
Even for the 300 series it will be a very very small market as was the classic 500 series
I’m taking a large backpack with me on my factory tour who knows what I’ll fit in there.

I’m thinking about a Nait50 with my ND 555 as a neat forever 3 box solution, although there is always the temptation to add a second 555PS.
