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?

At the risk of offending the Naim camp (are there still any campers out there?) as a former Naim owner and enthusiast (62/Hicap/140) I think the brand has lost it's way. When I was auditioning electronics after my gear was reaching the end of it's life span I really wanted to stay with Naim. However, in comparison with other brands I discovered that Naim is no longer a good value for the money. Very expensive, particularly when you add all the power supplies, and the sound is no better or, in some cases worse, than other gear that costs considerably less. I agree with the original post--2K for a 75 watt amp that can't really drive much beyond a BBC style 2-way is absurd.
