I intended the term to cover all the different naim products of course!
The SL2’s are probably my favourite naim loudspeaker design, apart from my own iBL’s.

SBLs are listed on the April 2002 price list.
@Alba1320 April 2002???!!! 
Where is that one please!! 
I have April 2001 and October 2002 (where SL2 are first introduced), so I would appreciate this little piece of information. Do you have a copy?
Currently missing:
- <=1980
- 1983 (Introduction of NAIT)
- 1991 (introduction of CDS? DBL?)
- mid1993-mid1994 (introduction of NAC92, NAIT 3, NAT03)
- Late 1995/Early1996 (introduction of CD2, NAIT 3R)
- Early 2000
- Early 2002 (end of Olive era)
- 2003-2004
Getting close to having the full story… Actually I observe some discrepancies between the product history in the website and when some items appeared/disappeared. That will be the next phase of my quest! 
Cheers!

Quick quiz: Guess what this graph is. (Not related to coronavirus in any way, to give you a hint!)

Indeed, can you guess which item? The scales are linear at least, not logarithmic!
Speaker cable. A4/A5

Agreed, I think you are spot on with this.
@Steve Spot on! 
Red line is NACA4 and blue is NACA5 below. I am also plotting UK RPI as a reference. NACA5 would be at ~£15/m today if it was just following inflation. So pretty good investment after all!
Data processing is fun!

The transition from Olive to Black was bugging me and now it’s complete!
I need to find an easy way to share the spreadsheet and all the lists via the cloud with all of you once I find some spare time!

I’m not sure that these are of any interest - they must be rather common. The brochure is probably 1978.

Fascinating to see such a specific recommendation for the Linn and Supex. It shows very clearly how closely the two companies worked.
That looks like it is from a later manual than the set I produced, (I can tell by the font), and my guess it is a typo and it should be 180?
Yes, I can only assume it’s a typo. It’s in the back of a Nait 5 manual, presumably as an upgrade option.
It’s a typo I think. It should be NAP150.

I was intrigued by this to compare with LME copper prices over the period of the rapid increase (2010-2015). Unfortunately I could find no correlation.
