Ive got the Iota Alphas, and they sound amazing with the Nait 50.

Neat play well with Naim

With on you re Naim and Neat

What a combination, hasn’t let me down in over 10 years plus

I struggled a bit with the right speakers with Naim amps but thankfully hit the right spot with Neat

That’s encouraging to read, chaps.

If I do go for the Iota Xplorer, it’ll be turntable selection next.

Just titchy wall-mounted Iotas in my system. Mind you, it’s amazing what the little Nait gets out of them.

As always, so important to listen. I would have never thought that the P3s would sound at their best with the Nait 50 but recently had a chance to demo the P3ESR XD & N50 and thought both (far) exceeded my expectations. Really very good combination, both shine and with ease.

First time I demo the XD version and I think they are trying less so desperately to prove a point and emphasise speech, they sound quite transparent and balanced, with a bit more bass too (slight hump but very acceptable). I liked them very much. I continue to think that the P3s are the only really good speakers Harbeth make, and their XD version is a worthwhile evolution.

Interesting ,early Linn Kan 1 a really good test of a small integrated amp,did you also tried with LP12 as source ?

Yeah, I tried both decks, so Valhalla/Ittok/VM95 and Cirkus/Lingo/Ekos/Adikt.

Don’t get me wrong, musically I enjoyed the N50. It was just a balance thing which I’m quite picky about.

Thank you @Murmur ,
I suppose that yours Nac12/Nap160 works much better with Linn Kan than Nait 50 ?

Yeah, it has more body and grunt. I was mostly trying Keilidhs, Tukans, and Katans with the N50. I never really expected it to work all that well with Kans, esp late Kan 1’s.

Knowing me I’ll end up buying another N50 in a couple of years and trying to pair it with something entirely different :slight_smile:

Wish I’d waited just one more week, could’ve saved Ā£200! That buys a few very good bottles of wine to celebrate :wine_glass:

I was 1200 too. But have already had a couple of
Months of ownership (and therefore fun). Plus bought during a stressful week when I needed the benefit of some retail therapy!

So no regrets :grinning_face:
