n-SATs man, forget the n-SUB

I’ve read your swooning over these speakers this past summer around the time I saw a really nice pair of n-SATs come up for sale. Didn’t get them in time and have been looking for a pair ever since. Seem like a great choice for my office system to go with my NAIT5i-2. Obviously not nearly as refined as your system but I figure a good addition for the right price.

It must be Sunday :grinning:

They are great little speakers though (but they do like a well setup n-Sub)

Maybe they do James, but, boy, the n-SATs are keen buggers😆

Man, do not hesitate. If you see a nice pair turn up, grab them with open arms, preferably with the dedicated stands :laughing:

The n-SUB is good, but, the SATs tend to carry it along, not the other way around. It simply isn’t required, and it slows things down, as is to be expected with ‘any’ sub in a two channel stereo system. Proper.

There’s a feeling of deja vu about this thread…

I’m not joking.

Dear @Richard.Dane - do you think this thread could be merged with Stephen’s last thread extolling the virtues of n-SATs ‘Why are Naim’s n-SATs the finest speakers in the world?’. Thanks

Not if it’s setup properly it doesn’t. :roll_eyes:

In my system it simply is not missed, in any shape or form. In fact, i’m glad it’s now turned off. The n-SUB is superfluous. It’s a big lump in my listening room that is simply a big lump, and bloody heavy, and in the way.

Sell it. It’s a great bit of kit (and I loved mine) but if it’s not working for you then perhaps someone else is thinking’My n-Sats could do with a bit more bass’ and would appreciate it :slightly_smiling_face:

Yup. My thoughts exactly. :slightly_smiling_face:

My misses has just said “can i have a bit of power?” (Since n-SUB turned off) :flushed:

I could very easily be tempted by a well-cared for n-Sub to replace my 20-year old B&W ASW675 if you were to put it on the Bay!

Well nobody ever said that successfully integrating a sub into a 2 channel system was easy :wink:
You can usually tell the people who have got this one right, as they tend to say that they would never be without the sub even for music with little bass.

The n-SUB does bring more weight to the overall presentation, but ‘not any more engagement’ than without it. If anything, the SN3 really turns on it’s magic when left to be in charge of the command. What a system - feet tap, trousers flap, air moves…

We are all traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

I think he’s beyond that he needs a pair of SL2s
