NAIM NAIT 5i + ELAC 310 JET speaker = good match?
Posted by: inrealtime on 20 April 2004
Hello, I am new to this forum, and actually I am new to hi-end audio world as well. So please bear with me if what I am saying doesn't make any sense. 
I have decided to get ELAC 310 JET speakers (4 ohm, 86db), and right now I am looking for an integrated amp and a cdp.
I've thinking about CYRUS for quite some time, but I haven't had a chance listening to them since it is not popular (in fact, neither is NAIM) in my country. However, reading through many reviews, I am afraid the sound might be a little harsh if paired up with ELAC.
It seems like NAIM has a similiar but warmer sounding than CYRUS; however the power is only 50w for NAIT 5i. I am afraid it will be not enough to drive the ELAC 310. Has anyone tried this (simililar) combination before? Any comments are welcome.
Thank you,
Ryan
