Does anyone have a picture of the tweeter wire dressing? My NBLs had already been got at before I had to replace the tweeters and the wire layout was different in each. I’ve taken a guess as to what will affect the spring plate the least without the wires touching the walls of the box but it would be nice to know if I got it right.

In my first picture and in the above brochure it looks as though, viewed from the rear, the wires exit the tweeter at 12, go clockwise to 9 and then vertically up into the MF box.

This one?

I think I’m 90 degrees short of that.

But in the article above it is like this, “nearly” 90 less!

And that one has the sticker with the match group letter on it, maybe I can leave be, except I didn’t have any hylomar to hand when I fitted the new tweeters and I’d always meant to rectify that as I don’t thin Naim would have used it originally if it did nothing.

Thanks for posting these. A fascinating read, especially the Phil Ward interview. As a bonus, I listened to the King Crimson track, mentioned in the Chris Thomas review and really enjoyed it. Just listening to the whole album.

My pleasure James! King Crimson does my head in even more than Pink Floyd though :crazy_face:

I’ve had that booklet for many years but can’t remember how I got it. It also contains similar articles on the CDS2 and NAP250 - both really interesting. Then there’s an interview of some bloke by the name of Paul Stephenson, and finally ( rather poignantly ), an article by Paul Messenger entitled; What’s In A Naim? Julian Vereker of Naim Audio (which I’ll read over the Christmas period).

Yeah, that track was good but the whole album (and I do like some PF)…. :flushed:

A blast of PJ Harvey and all was good with the world again !
