Tralmusic you may want to upgrade your Star for a bigger Naim rig.Right now Naim is running a promotion of the NAC 272/preamp dac and a Nap 250, this combination is dramatically better than the Star.In our shop we have the Naim Atom, Star, Nova, N... 
2019 Axpona Review
Mgattmch,Heard the Eikons and they didn’t do it for me. Perhaps it was the music but not really that impressive in either the clarity or soundstaging, They were very slim and did sound bigger then their size.The Legacy Aeris is also $25k and comes...

Rs 507, there were quite a number of people who talked very favorably about this room.There is no way the 3F sounded like a $2,500.00 speaker if you heard a $2,500 speaker which sounds this good please tell us which one, because in our shop there ...

Mountainsong, we heard the Piegas at this show and the CAP show and they sounded good but not that good to us. They do seem interesting, however for $25k I think based on what we heard with them we would go Paradigm Persona, or Vimberg which are a...

Huge room with speakers very far apart.Personally not Vandy fans even CT tweeter sounds soft. Very few giant rooms have adequate bass. Lots of cool things very few amazing rooms especially for the money.

Dep sorry to disagree, changing speakers is like changing an Apple for an Orange.Changing electronics is like going to the supermarket and picking fruit that is a week old vs going to the orchard and picking it fresh.Sure you could say that both a...

Dep no they are not extremely similar across the line. Like any manufacturer there will be a house sound, but it does change a bit as you go from model to model.The 3F sounds similar but different to the 5F. We demoed the 3F to 5F comparison at an...

D2girls you may be getting great sound however you may be missing the true potential of what your speakers are capable of with what you are currently using.As per using Anthem Electronics the Str amp and preamp at $10k sounds very good with the Pe...

No trudat it doesnt work that way.Buy a Porsche put 82 octane gas into and put some cheppie tires on it does it drive like it was designed to drive?The higher the quality the speaker the more resolving it is therefore you will hear more of what th...

No Steve just because you have expensive gear doesnt mean that the pairing will be correct.Take our ancedote mentioned previously we tried amplifiers from Devialet, Electrocompaniet, Chord, Manley, CJ, Thrax,Krell, and T+A to pair with the Persona...

Trudat you totally miss the point. It is not that you have to use uber expensive or every tweek in the book to make the Personas sound good, the issue is that there is way more than just good you can get out of a speaker with this kind of resolvin...

Pwinson it has nothing to do with cost. The Persona 3F sound very good on a Naim Uniti Atom which is a $3k intergrated, they sound way better on a Naim Uniti Nova a $7.5k intregrated amp, and they sound so much better on the Naim NAC 272 preamp/da...
