Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased the New Classic Nap 250. I’m considering the NSC222, as well as, the Nac 332 and the NDX2.
I would be interested in hearing from some of you that have demoed these set-ups and your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
NSC 222 + N-X 300 + NAP 250 — goes absolute gang busters!
300 Series better again, but costs more. As ever, you pays your money……
ATB, J

Are you able to have an audition for yourself? I run a bare NSC222 with an NC250 and it sounds brilliant without costing stupid money. Law of diminishing returns and all that plus an unobtrusive 2 box system with no Burndy shenanigans

Best to start with a budget
No mention in your profile as to where you are located, with dealer or better still, home demo variable depending on location.
Budget first; perhaps you can be more specific with your thoughts on amp and particular speakers.
NC3 series particularly, but still worth while on NC2 kit, certainly benefit from power lines and a good support, so may need to be considered.
Linn Tukans will be likely fall well short with new Naim kit.
Delighted with NSC222 + NC250 here, replacing a Nova, so for that system it was a two box limit. NC3 series sounds very good - see my Naim demo report.
Good dealer is necessary, because there are different views on NC2 + NPX300 v NC3 w/o ps.
Try a search, many posts on this subject.
I liked the 222/300/250 when I demoed it and could have easily lived with it for the foreseeable. Not so without the power supply though.
I eventually plumped for the 332 with the intention of replacing my NDX2 with 333 which I have since done and enjoy very much. My aural memory is terrible so I can’t really remember the differences and even less so articulate them.
