I have confirmed, and paid the full purchase price for, my order of a Nait 50 with Audio T in Brighton this morning, so I’m feeling more than a little smug!
I took delivery of a pair of Falcon Gold Badge LS3/5As last week, so my planned bedroom system is coming along nicely now.
It will (sadly) involve selling my hardly used Olive Nait 2, which will be a shame, but I imagine that it will be snapped up.
Now if Naim would just make a matching shoebox CD player…
@110dB
A lot of Naim competitors use high number damping factors as a selling point for speaker bass control in their amplifier ranges.
Just wondering how the damping factor of a Naim amp affects bass control, especially as the Nait50 and NAP250 both have an advertised damping factor of 36, which seems a little strange given the different output specs. This would seem to indicate that it may not be that important after all.
There’s a whole thread on this on the old forum. IIRC the response was that it important up to around 20 and then becomes somewhat meaningless to get higher values.
I will do so!
Caught a mint CB nait 2 a few moths back and love it a lot.
Not planning to sell it!
Will test is against nait 50. won’t keep the new one, if the CB is better sounding - which I do not expect in anyway
It’s because Naim use a 0.22R resistor in series with the output of their amps. 8/0.22=36. Before the resistor the internal impedance will be very low.
