I too had a Nait2 at one time. It was a wonderful integrated amp and worked very well with Kef Reference Ones. I upgraded along the Naim hierarchy, and wasn't satisfied until reaching the level of an 82 pre powered by two hi-caps and a pair of 135 amps with SBL speakers (have gone further since). If you like the sound of Naim equipment you should explore that route, as you may have difficulty finding other brands that please you as much.
Sold my Naim Nate 2, lots of regrets.
recently sold my Naim Nate 2 for 400. I now think I made the biggest mistake. Has anyone owned the Nate and found it to be superior to many pre/power combos? I purchased some Sonographe gear and feel the Nait in retrospect was better. Any one else with similar experiences?
