It is 8999 vs 5700 pound sterling. So $5700 Pounds = ~$7032.00. So you are basically getting soaked for another 2 grand - 25% more expensive.
Ouchā¦
Whatās the price in the UK? Yes, here in NZ $15K is pretty steep. I paid not a lot more than that for a 3 year old NAC552. The new range certainly is very expensive here, even compared to the Unitiās and the regular classic range. Itās hard to see it competing against the second hand market now.
Each of the 3 products priced the same at Ā£5700 in UK. Which compared to some parts of the world is turning out to be a relative bargain
What PSU on 282 in that compare ?
I didnāt realize thereās such a disparity in the pricing UK v rest of the world. Thatās something to keep in mind if I choose to demo and trade in.
The 252 and 282 are 200 series. They run with 300 series!
So whatās the issue with 222. Why is it a mullet? We donāt really know what the numbers mean yet.
Hi cap
Not something Iād given much thought to till others in Australia and New Zealand pointed it out. I donāt have much to worry about, even the UK prices for me are beyond my current means
Yeah Iām in no rush to move from where I am. I made that mistake when I was at CDS2/XPS/72/HC/250 and went for the current classic line up. Fairly disappointing. My current system sounds great and is thoroughly enjoyable and Iām content to let others be the guinea pigs while I consider my next move.
I guess a number of thoughts on that:
The NPX300 has been launched by Naim as a partner to the 222, so thereās that. My addition to that pairing is the 300DR.
Iāve read a number of comments on hear of the old 272 being paired very well with the current 300DR
I auditioned the 222 through a 500DR and it was fab.
Iāll audition the new 300 amps when they come and see how that appeals, I might stick or twist. If I go for that then potentially, much further down the road, I could swap out the 222 and go full separates. I have had a bit of a journey and Iām not that bothered by a bit of a mullet now and then if thatās what it is. Should be fun though.
Well not so sure the 222 equals a 252 Dan
282 yes , but there is a big difference between a 282 and 252
So letās wait and see Re the future
Same here ElMarko
Anyone who can count knows that 222 doesnāt equal 252.
It should be at least 30 better.
All 3 units are on display at your local dealership. They do look really nice in person IMHO.
I will have to drop by and take a peakā¦
Leave your wallet at homeā¦.
Hell, my wallet left home
Just as well Iām sticking.
i loved my 202! Just went up the chain but could have stayed there!
