@daddycool my two sentence review of each combo:
CB Nait 2: Delicate magic. The essence of Naim Audio in one box.
CB 62/140: A concentrated dose of prat. A giant killer.
32.5/hicap/250: Mature controlled prat
What’s interesting about these combos is that while they occupy different rungs in the chrome bumper hierarchy I can’t point to one and say that it’s the absolute best. They’re simply different flavors. I could live with any of them forever.
Great write-up, thanks!
A similar experience, and have all three systems running in my house (with a 160 rather than 140). Love them all for different reasons.
“Looks like we’re shy one Nait”
“You bought two too many”
A One and a Two off to Bandit country soon to join other Classic Naits already in his collection.
Wow - yeah, I will have too many. One of the Nait 1 will go to my friend, likely the green led. Many thanks @anon27418182 for your help to have them serviced. They will not be in boxes for sure, I will have some rooms for their setup. 
NAC 32.5 prices seem to be on the up. Class A serviced one in nice condition sold for just under £600 on ebay.
Think I paid £250 for my serviced one about 3 years ago, albeit from a dealer.
Definitely a better investment than the bank 
Other than the Nait, I use all my gear but perhaps I should invest a little spare cash in some more. I have an Ekos SE that I was hanging onto but that’s not gonna go up in value like vintage Naim. Of course, if Naim were to run out of key components then that wouldn’t be so good.
Not a problem here… Investments already made - 72, 82, HiCap (2 off), 140, 250, CDX2, XPS2… 
Yeah thats crazy, i sold 3x 32.5 two years ago around 350 (each of them)€… and now the price is really high. Hopefully i still have plenty of CB boxes here 
I bought a 32.5 last month.£300.
It does seem like 32.5 prices are firming.
Team CB, the time has come for us to hoover up the remaining stock before underserving punters rush in and drive prices up.
Doing what I can, here…

Did the XPS PS ever come out in the chrome bumper ?
Maybe at best 12 months or so ?

Bevo, no the XPS arrived well into the Olive era (1998) so was never a chrome bumper item. The Olive era began in 1989.
The little box, CB Nait 2, just arrived today. It’s very lovely and sounds good too. Thank you @anon27418182 for kindly help. Much appreciated.
Looks mint, well done and for me the best looking one.
I’d love one but just don’t trust ebay etc. Knowing it’s genuine and from a good owner is pretty difficult I guess!
and nice speakers.
Genuine? Unmolested? I have found that they are not that hard to find but it is becoming harder. Patience is the thing and a willingness to pay market prices. Pointless expecting to buy one for £300 because that was the price ‘x’ years ago. And most benefit from a service and any wrong doing that has been done (unless it is a major change) can usually be reversed as it is a fairly simple beast. The cosmetics need to be good though.
You could always ask for internal photos and compare with others etc. Have a little faith.
What’s pricing like for a Nait 1 at the moment ?
Don’t do it James - you will regret it.
But since you are asking - depends on condition and servicing etc. and, more importantly, that someone is after one. £800 for one that is serviced and immaculate.
