A 272 replacement? Finally. And what else?

We’ve been discussing this on a few other threads. Scenarios being a pre-power Nova style box with a matching new active Focal speakers, or a pre-streamer and matching power supply and/or power amp styled liked the Solstice - maybe a power amp that also powers the pre-streamer.
Whatever it is, I’m stocking up on the popcorn for when we finally find out.

Some people will be happy and some will be disappointed is my guess.

“Audio solutions” in focal speak equals a Naim box or boxes plus focal speakers.

Exactly, and we know who wears the pants in that relationship.

Two new audio solutions - I recon one is a new record cleaning liquid to get the best from your new Soltice and the other is a plug cleaning liquid to clean your SuperLumina plugs.

The mid-market offer is a bit confused between Classic 200 level and the new style Nova imho. Something that consolidates that as a two or three box package around a pre/streamer?

Audio solutions don’t have the smell of audio components. I fear the 272 is not for this year.
That’s a safe bet, if past experience is any indicator.
However, “new audio solutions” tells me that we may be talking different formats entirely. Could it finally be the long-awaited Naim cassette deck? Maybe a Reel-to-reel as well? My cup runneth over…

I think your wishlist could be best described as wildly optimistic.
Maybe one of them is the all new Naim Hi-Net streaming cable?

An updated Core maybe welcomed.

Looking at the very popular threads in the Lounge one solution will be a naim wine and the other a naim beer to enhance listening enjoyment.

Yeah, while they have to stop DR upgrades because of ongoing shortages, it does not seem very likely
