I used to own Naim Nac92 and Nap180, Naim CDX with Epos floor standing speakers. For me this system was great for band type music but not so good with classical music. For eg the group The Pogues has many members playing different instruments in that swirly heady melodic Irish music, the Naim system captured that involvement. It was not fatiguing because I was in that Naim fix trance. I would imagine going up the Naim chain would considerably improve the sound but at the end of the day Naim does add something to the sound which makes the music a little bit more on the high. I have known someone who owned respectable Naim system built up after many years and one day he got tired of it, sold Naim gear and replaced it with Sugden gear.
Naim -- Fatiguing?
Lots of research suggests that Naim equipment is forward with lots of PRaT, but the Series 5 components are a bit more refined. Does this sound get fatiguing after a while? Does it treat classical, space music, and simple acoustic music with the respect it gives rock and electronica? Thanks.
