What is in a Naim ?

I had an all Naim-Linn system with Kefs once. Naims are very musical but the one I had lacked low end oomfh. The main to reasons I got rid of the name portion of the system was that it was difficult to adapt to non Naim equipment. And at that time and maybe still the Naim power supply one uses is extremely important to the sound.

I can't speak about the SBL's or the Naim CD player, but when I had my Naim gear it was certainly musical. I did listen for hours. I must admit I never heard the Naim with anything other than speakers made in the UK. At that time I heard single and bi-amped systems. The Naim-Linn Iso-barik bi-amped system was the first system I ever heard that sounded effortless. Julian Verecker(deceased) was also a very nice individual to deal with.
