The Naim New Classic range - Part 1

@110dB

Yes, all those have Zobels, and output resistors.

@110dB

It is really just vintage Naim amps that require NAC A5 and >3m cables for stability (instability will make amps get hot and not sound good due to very high frequency oscillation).

Maybe the time to update that FAQ to be more specific?

Naim power amplifiers do not have extra inductance networks in the output. Naim prefer the more elegant solution of allowing the speaker cable to provide the correct inductance and capacitance.

To do so, a minimum of 3.5 metres per channel of NACA4 or NACA5 cable is required – although the optimum length is around 5-10 metres with a maximum recommended length of 20 metres. We find the supplied Naim speaker plugs to be an optimal match for the 4mm sockets we use on our amplifiers.
