Just trying to help @Stu299 out because it looks like he has the DR tremors :joy:

DR tremors :joy:

That’s a very good word and I’ve used it myself. A 500 and DBL’s make every track an adventure. You are never quite sure where it’s going to take you. It’s like owning your own time travel machine. Press the button and you can be at any venue in the world in any year you want. Want to hear the Beatles at Abbey Road in 1969? Just sit back, strap in and press the button!

Well put…I was profoundly impressed by the finesse…I was expecting it just being a brute…

Same story with SL2s attached to a 500, love it. I’m currently listening to Free and Bad Company if you close your eyes you can picture yourself within a live venue in a pub, magic, I think its down to the 500.

As long as it’s nothing illegal, I guess that’s ok but with moderation :joy:

Been on TM @Rooster? 500 DR, old at 2004, but recapped and DR’d in 2017. Seems too cheap though, so I’m a bit suspicious of that. There’s also a 552 DR,

Mike that’s real! Go for it man.

3 bidders already and a week to go. One to watch.

Dammit. It’s not as if I wanted to choose between new speakers or a 500. And neither is going to have my wife (justifiably) not frowning…

Not to mention that there is also a nice 555DR that would be perfect for your NDX2.

The 500 DR has passed a reserve of $5K already, so it’s going to be sold it seems….

Seems like a lot of Naim up for sale…

I’d be getting more than a frown. I’ve already been told that spending on the hobby has reached its cap :flushed:

It might be viable if we hadn’t just reserved a Cupra Born EV yesterday, and if I weren’t planning to demo speakers when I’m in Sydney and Melbourne in August and September. I console myself by remembering that I can always find a 500 later

Hey Jono, you know what, I’d put money on the table if you had a 500 running those lovely Sl2 speakers you wouldn’t be looking or even thinking about other speakers. In fact it stresses me that I’ve had my ones for so long and have only just really herd them for the first time.
