Now we are the first to admit that, on the face of it, this lovely premium streaming system is a little unconventional. Why not pair the Naim streamer with a Naim amplifier, we hear you ask? After all, it’s well-known that we are huge fans of the Salisbury-based company’s products.
Well, you wouldn’t go wrong with that match-up, it’s true; but in this instance, besides attempting to show that there are more answers to a conundrum than purely the most transparent solution, we decided to go with an amp that will match up brilliantly with the speakers in this system, rather than simply the source. It’s a bit horses for courses, perhaps, but this quirky set-up does a brilliant job while being a little less than obvious. Which we rather enjoy.
