I have the NC 250. I’m prepared for the demo to be a fail. I just have to rule them in or out in my room. If not, I will try others. My dealer is happy to help.
Asked - not clear from your profile.
You should be in for a treat, with both - hope the audition goes well!

Your demo is a system setup I have previously owned and enjoyed. Although I was happy with the SQ etc I was “infected” by “upgraditis”. Mrs O was not too enamoured with the potential increase in boxes (potentially a 332 and 333 not to mention potentially another 300) so on a hunch (after reading words from @DiggyGun) and with the assistance of my dealer I tried the Linn one box option driving the Kudos Speakers in active mode, see my profile. I liked what I heard and Mrs O has fewer boxes.
Hope your audition/demo goes well and the result is what you are looking for. But for my temporary ailment I would still be where you are demoing.

So, to your ears, the Linn box sounds better than 222/300/250?

Yes, it is not a massive night and day type change. The 222/300/250 was very good but to my ears the Linn is just that bit better. If I had to be pushed I might say that the Naim system is maybe a little brighter than the Linn, I have a bit of tinnitus and the Linn is less troublesome. I totally accept that others with different ears, different preferences and different rooms etc may prefer the Naim over the Linn. Do note I have moved from passive to active driving the 606’s, that did make things much better for me. Oh, and I have less boxes which was a bit of a sub-goal.

I’ve arranged a home demo of Kudos Titan 606 speakers for Thursday 5th. So we will see if they work well in my room

My dealer is bringing an NPX 300 to try (again) as well.

The demo was great, the 606s are very natural / realistic, although I only really a couple of hours listening. I’m still in two minds whether to spend that much, even at ex-demo pricing.
You only live once…
But it’s the dying by overreaching myself that worries me

Hopefully she will come round eventually.
Well, it is not to be, at least this year anyway. It was a nice dream while it lasted, but I have now been brought back down to earth. I’m sure I’ll have another go at justifying the expense next year though

You can’t spend too much on speakers! (Though other halves, inheritors, accountants, etc may disagree!)
