  1. I always respected Naim, I think their "evolution" is upright: they don't jump on the last trend, format, etc, they don't make luxury joint venture with luxury cars od yachts in order to gain customers in Dubai. My only problem with Naim is that I don't like their design. ooopps: I just discover their joint venture with Bentley...
  2. Naim audio a part.
  3. NY, stereo. Edit: I am still surprised at any listenings how great was the silver's writing.

  7. I found this issue naive. I mean what audio firms are supposed to be? An engineer with the proper knowledge builts a good amp in his garage in his free time with parts worth one tenth or less then famous firms, so what? Why all these engineers doesnt start a business since they could built a good amp at low price? Have all these people rantin' against audio business ever start a business, any kind of business? Who pays for employes, rent, electricity, distributors, customer service, shipping, advertising? And taxes? And who pays research and development? Who goes to bank for loan? Who deal with part's suppliers? I am talking about small scale business, let's say under 1000 pieces per year, not a T Model Ford. Fifteen years ago I could buy an iPod, dismantle it and say: damn it cost 200 bucks and there are only 20 bucks of parts inside it! Does an audio businessman works in the charity sector or has the right to earn money from his job? Some stuff are outragely expensive, true, you can get the same sound quality with less, far less, fine, but please dont be naive.

  17. A part money and neighbors, is any other reasons to go the sub/satellite way? I had sub/satellite systems in my life, infinity and wilson, and at the end of the day I think the very low frequencies from the sub are more a problem rather then a solution. I think that good single speakers with a frequency range down to 35/40 Hertz are better then full range speakers unless you consider very big listening rooms heavy treated and very expensive speakers. I was very suprised that a clean and coherent double bass and piano from speakers limited to 40 herz have more "bass" and punch that from full range speakers, at least in my listening room. Unless you listent to movies, subs are an hassle and useless IMHO. edit: the Zu Omen looks like an excellent solution, and you can spare money on wires.
  18. Pacific Jazz, mono.
