Depending on condition and service history, probably 32.5 & 110. However, condition and service history are key.

Nac 32.5 + Power amp are vastly better
than a Nait 1,all the times I have compared.

Agree with Bluesfan, 32-5 and 110.

The 32-5 and 160 also work well together. Pro’s and con’s versus the above.

Bolt down 160 is warm like a valve amp but voiced to balance out the slight harshness of the NAC 12. It doesn’t sound quite right to me when partnered with a 32-5.

I wouldn’t really call any Naim amp of any vintage “warm”. None are cold and clinical but tube amp warm they are not even approaching.

So the answers given might be accurate and tell you the warmest, but that’s not the same as warm.

Currently listening to a Nait 50. Super warm. With bounce !

You need the Nait 50, it outclasses all the Naim range.

Agree 100%. I didn’t find Naim to be anything close to “warm” sounding until the Old Classic series came along.
