Naim amps??


Why so much money for what seems to be underpowed amps, at least on paper?

Two grand for a 75 watt amp. Do they rate their amps differently or what?

Probably the most simple answer to this question would be the following: Because it sounds good ....

Actually, Naim follows the philosophy that putting transistors in parallel is not good for a sound reproduction ... therefore Naim amps have only one transistor (per channel) at the output. They are rather powerful but the usual construction with putting a lot of transistors in parallel in order to get more power, more current, etc. is not what Naim is after ... Therefore Naim amps do not have a lot of power but they can drive seriously difficult speakers and they can do that, in most situations, seriously well.
