6 Avantgarde? You seem to have the room for them.

Briefly… R6 are so dynamic compared with SR3

Yes indeed those are Avantgarde and it seems they fit to the room. Audiovectors they were never difficult with an adaptation.

Serious speakers Kacper ! 30 k . They look good, and you seem to have the room for. However, a question: why not first an Nd555 to replace your Ndx2?

Hi Frenchrooster, thanks!
those are Avantgarde version so the retail price is around 21k.
On this moment I only demo them at home, however a local distributor comes with the “special deal” for his almost new demo (black ones).
Why not first a ND555?.. good question…. I think this upgrade would involve much more €€ (555 PS DR required), plus I think Nap300 deserve it something better then SR3 speakers.

TomTom Audio in St Albans specialise in supplying hard to find Naim stuff. They’re helpful and approachable.

And they have Julian Vereker’s NAP500 prototype, which you can look at.

Forest Signatures, I have the same, in Cherry too. Keepers for me, delightfully natural and dynamic. What amp are you running?

They sound good out the box. Will get better over time. I have Naim 282/Supercap into 250DR.

New space. Playing around with placement. Cement and cinder block walls so a bit of an echo at the moment.

Curtains and more soft furnishings on way

Don’t know yet, not much of a market for vintage floor standers in Gloucester. :rofl:

Update on my second system, back in July my best mate gave me a LEAK Stereofetic Tuner he got off either eBay or from a charity shop, can’t remember. Anyway it only cost him £25 and I have added it to the system and put up a dedicated 3 element FM aerial in the loft. I cannot get over the SQ it gives, just lovely from what is a 45 year old tuner. currently listening to R3 while working in my study. It is amazing what bargains can be had out there, as for my mate, well you can’t get better friend than that.

A friend had one many years ago a fantastic tuner indeed.

Very happy with my system, I used to constantly chop and change components. Not anymore just enjoying the music. The Linn Kans are MK1, I bought them from a guy in Southend who had had them from new but they had been in storage for many years. They were sold to me as fully working but when I fired them up I found that one tweeter wasn’t working. I have since had new Scanspeak tweeters fitted, re capped the crossovers, fitted new gaskets to the B110 drivers and new grill clothes. They sound great now and will give another 40 years of service.
