Spoiled for choice at present, as I’m also home testing a Primare R35 phono amp to partner my P8/Apheta 3. Again, very nice indeed, and beautifully built.
That is a wonderful post and I now recall reading it at the time and thinking that I should really do something positive about my hearing once COVID restictions eased.
Now is the time.
My first post! I just bought a used Supernait 1 for my patio speakers (PSB CS1000). I’ve never heard any Naim product before, looking forward to it’s arrival!
For my ‘main listening room aka mancave’ I have an Auralic Aries streamer > AES > Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE w/ preamp > XLR > Pass Labs XA30.8 > Magico A1 bookshelf speakers. I’ll of course have to try the supernait in that chain before going to the PSB duties but looking forward to trying out this whole Naim sound

Welcome. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the differences.
Love mine. The only thing you may find is they are brutally honest about poorly recorded/mixed material

Piece by piece, the new listening room equipment arrives.
-
4 x GigaWatt G-16A 2P , circuit breakers
-
74 meters of GigaWatt LC-Y EVO 3X4 , in-wall cable
One power lead per audio device.
In a few days I will also receive an audio grade Doepke differential circuit breaker. It will protect the 4 dedicated lines.

Just set up and even at low vols they are a more rounded speaker than the 7. The 7 is fantastic but it feels the 11 is a bit more mature and warmer. Looking forward to the next few weeks as they run in.

Good stuff @Thomas 
74 meters of solid core… That will take you roughly to the first service of your kit to run-in.

New Kudos 707s. Transformed my system as they fill the whole room with a joyous sound.
I was going to buy the demos in walnut but my wife wanted oak to match the existing woodwork!

Nice one John. I got identical speakers 3 weeks ago. How are you finding run in ?
I had the demo pair for a couple of weeks before mine arrived.
Straight from the box the new ones sounded pretty good.
The demos were probably a little mellow by comparison but there’s not much in it.

Witch Hat Phantoms , straight out of the box the sound sounds a little more holistic .
Previously had Chord Shawline which weren’t too shabby with my Nova -P3ESR combo

Thanks for sticking with the Naim forum @Thomas. I for one am glad that you are sharing your journey with all the new equipment despite that its not a Naim system. It’s important to get other perspectives. Have the M2s arrived? I lost track.
