I had a full Linn/Naim system for 10 years and found it fulfilling and never fatiguing. At the time I worked in a high end audio shop, and we compared mamy amps including Perreaux, Threshold, Stax, Levinson,etc. The Naim consistently played cleaner, musically, and generally louder and more dynamic than the huge monsters above. I spent many a rainy sunday listening all day to my Naim gear and it was always pleasing.
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.
