The Dearth of Naim

Hi Ian,

Thanks for replying. Actually I am going to go with a bit of a WILD speculation :grinning_cat_with_smiling_eyes:.

I understand from some postings that soon the Naim beta testers have a Naim factory visit.

Maybe at the visit they will be introduced to some new software enhancement that needs testing. This software might be enhancements to the Naim-Focal ADAPT App that allows the app to work with other loudspeaker types. This software lets the user take ‘pictures’ of the room and ‘pictures’ of the loudspeakers placement in the room etc and guides the underlying DSP engine (the thing I have been playing with above) to set the correct filter characteristics - without requiring the user to have degree level training in Electronics, Signal Processing and Room Acoustics?

Afterall, the basics of this software is already available for the Focal DIVA range of loudspeakers in the ADAPT software. The above enhancements could then enable more sales by making Naim products more acceptable to the market by permitting Other Brands of Loudspeakers to be used :hear_no_evil_monkey:.
Furthermore new hardware could be introduced at low NRE.
Examples :-
Maybe NAIM Nova PE gets upgraded with new DSP innards to become NAIM Nova RE (as in Nova Room Equalisation)?
Maybe NAIM Atom HE gets upgraded with new DSP innards to become NAIM Atom RE (as in Atom Room Equalisation)?

Like I said, all of the above is just pure speculation.
