Naim recommendations
I am really curious about Naim gear, and I was thinking about getting a Nait 5 here to see what the fuss is all about. Nevertheless, I wonder if there are older models, as a preamp+amp combination that will give me a great taste to Naim sound, as well as a path to upgradability in the long run. I am interested in investing a good $1500-2000, for the pre and amp set up. What models have the following cosmetics:
OLD COSMETICS=I think they mean the classic Naim that is rectangular with two or one prominent knob, square cut.
what line is the one that has what is looks like HALF case size?
Finally, will the set up run a speaker combo that has 89db sensitivity but that needs at least a good 100watts to get it going....Pair of monitors on top of a pair of passive subs?
