SL2's Used price

[Puddlesplasher]

Stop teasing me with pictures of SL2s.

The wooden fronts do look a bit battered? Or is that just the lighting?

[anon17458420]

No idea. I could ask the distributor

[davidhendon]

Figuring in the maple. They are mint, actually.

[suzywong]

Cool. Certainly the pics in HH’s room looked good!

I’m sure I could live with the “figuring”

You could keep your SBLs and splash on a NAC52 instead.

(Full disclosure: I’ve never heard a NAC52. But my dealer says there are few occasions where adding a NAC52 won’t improve a Naim set.)

Ask if they have the original boxes and packaging. Quite important if moving them, and for potential resale.

I have some new spare tweeters, purchased last autumn as we were advised that this was a ‘last batch’ of the SBL and SL2 versions. I suspect they might now be sold out.

Naim SBL tweeter replacement. I just wanted to confirm about the difference between D2008 8511 and D 2008 851100 tweeters as I have naim sbl and tweeters needs to be replaced. I am not able to find D2008 8511 as 851100 is available. Secondly suggest some upgrades as i am using Naim SBL Mk1

I have had an NAC52 for just over thirty years, and would never change it. (It could do with a return to Salisbury soon, as it’s never been ‘home’ for some TLC.)

There’s simply no need for me to consider a change!

Funnily enough guys, im keeping my eyes out for a 52/supercap as well!

[graham55]

If that was any kind of a hint, you can’t have mine!

But do have a look at TomTom Audio’s website, or speak to James Allney there (St Albans). He is great at finding Naim bits that are hard to find. (Many years ago now, he found me a mint NAT-01 after it had been suddenly discontinued.)

Ahem!

ROAD TRIP!!!

Yep. If the speakers are good enough, and either very good value or such price that the travel cost is a a small proportion of total cost then it’s a no-brainer - and that way you can also be sure they don’t get chucked around by the carrier. A few years ago to audition replacement speakers I drove over 800 miles plus a ferry journey each way averaging 3 hours each, and a hotel stay, to visit 3 places and audition 5 speakers, taking with me my own large and heavy speakers plus amp and source. It was a fruitful trip in that I found two that were suitable, but I didn’t even return with them as I was still mulling it over when I had to get back.
