Fantasizing that my decade long naim upgrade journey may have stopped here with 555/552/500dr/core/sx7i/sl ā€¦
enjoying, smiling and straining my ears (frequently these days). Cable mess unsolvedā€¦ stacking unfavorable but swmbo tolerated :sweat_smile:

Very nice stack indeed and your room looks awesome. These Neat SX7i seem to be a great visual match to the rest of the place - no doubt they sing equally good.

On a side note, if your door bell rings, donā€™t open. The Fraim poss is after you.

Thank you vm, Zinc! SQ quite acceptable now :wink: best of wife-room-tech compromiseā€¦ ignoring door bell is ongoing challenge (you seem to have similar tantalus torments?)

Yep Iā€™d say thereā€™s going to be a few who will question not the quantity of the stack but how itā€™s stacked. Especially as most of those guys are in home detention.

It may sound not as good as on a dedicated rack, but so nice like that !

For the past eleven days I have had the ProAc D30RS at the house for a demo and for the past few days a Hi-Line interconnect between the NDX 2 and SN 2.

Right now this is a temporary system picture, although it may become permanent, I thought I would post it because they look absolutely beautiful and sound fantastic.

So temporary system configuation:NAS > XPS DR > NDX 2 > HiCap DR > SuperNait 2 > NAC A5 > ProAc D30RS

Love me some Naim-ProAc combo!

This is also temporary, the Proac Response wearing scented garbage bags as masks, not against the Corona virus but the dust (while I was cleaning the high windows), creating new sound waves patterns. High on the ladder, three feet from the ceiling, I also discovered a superior sweet spot which required quite a delicate balanceā€¦ In short, the system never sounded better.

After cleaning every item and putting them back in our family room I called the wife who was elated, offering half the kingdom and asking if I wanted to order the Statements tonight. ā€˜Nahā€™, I said,ā€™ just get me a cup of coffeeā€™. No need to complicate life.

Are you fit enough to keep yourself in the new sweet spot for extended listening sessions? :wink:

Yes but symphonies are out of the question.

Are you enjoying the ProAcā€™s ? They look good, you may fall victim to that dreaded home demo syndrome. :grin:

Not at the moment :mask::mask::mask::mask::mask:

I donā€™t know about Australia :australia: but here in the UK Naim really donā€™t like mail order sales. Time for a rethink methinks.

My dealer god bless him would cover up and home delivery anyway. So no need for post, however think any update of boxes is definitely off till next year now.

Wonderful, nice clean elegant set up. Good combination of black boxes, I believe.

Stereo on, sun streaming in, a good day for isolation.

Looks good! I almost went for Ovator 400s when I first entered Naim World, until I was seduced by ProAc D20r. Canā€™t imagine ever moving away from ProAc.

Looks like you have room for even larger speakersā€¦

The feel of bass on jazzā€¦i see your posts on the music cornerā€¦will be better with larger drivers is my thinking.

Sorry donā€™t mean to divert the train but since the 18 inch sub has come into my musicā€¦my thoughts on effortless music reproduction are with larger drivers.
