Fantastic effort! Well done mate.
That has to be “Pic of the Year”
Very cool!
Getting the VU meters to work is brilliant. Actually, the whole thing is brilliant.
Impressive. Serious upcycling!
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.
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!
Richard
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.
Congrats by the way !
Hi, how long did you have to wait for your 250dr. I have ordered mine some weeks ago.
Many thanks Dave
Very elegant indeed. Well worth the wait
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
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.
