Very cool! :sunglasses:

Getting the VU meters to work is brilliant. Actually, the whole thing is brilliant.

The wait is over. After almost 3 months my new Vivid Audio Kaya 25s arrived today!

Opening the crate in the garage was a bit nerve wrecking. It was the first time I saw the bespoke colour in real life on the speakers. :grimacing:

The colour is Hot Chocolate metallic from a Mini Cooper in 60% matt. It’s difficult to capture on a photo but it turned out perfect! Dark brown from a distance in the shadow with a bronze hue in direct light. Very subtle with just enough ‘colour’ to make it different and blend in our interior.

They sound surprisingly good straight out of the box. A little tight and slighty less transparent than the well run in demos I had but still very good. So the brake in period of 200-300 hours (according to Vivid) will not be that hard.

Very happy! :tada:

Couldn’t agree more Andy, and that’s from a Makem!

Nicely done. Should I have tried this with my NAT05 or with my CD5 XS?

Just stunning…

And finally the 250DR is in the house. Arrived yesterday and installed this morning. What a power!

I can seriously say that I’ve reached an optimum for a long time to come. Although the Kaya’s from Richard are very tempting. My office isn’t that big, so a two-way speaker-set should also be fine. But the brightness of the Revel’s are amazing. So for now just enjoy the music!

Wait a bit and your kit will soon receive more likes than a full Statement system. :grin:

Hi Dave, ordered mids of February this year. So waited for this item nearly 4 months. The dealer told me that Naim was catching up on orders. He mentioned that normal delivery times could be expected this summer.

Many thanks for your quick reply :+1:

Very cool. Product of the Year!

Beautiful photograph. I like the way the dog is keeping guard!!

I think that the CD players might become an interesting proposition for up-cycling if they are not repairable by Naim or others. They even include nice DACs.

Just saw them on instagram-concerto…

Congratulations! The waiting is over. Enjoy. Tasty colour.
