Will the Nait 5 Deliver?

Posted by: John on 28 November 2000

Has anyone heard a CDX/XPS, Nait 5, SBL's? I have always climbed upward with equipment but am curious what I would be losing going from a 82/Super/135's to the Nait 5. My source is good (CDX/XPS) and I love my SBL's. I have not heard the new Nait but I understand it is quite impressive from posts on the forum. Would the SBL's be to revealing?

Has anyone after normalizing themselves to a top flight system downgraded and been happy? Is it possible? I am now listening to music differently, less from a sonic perspective and more from a musical perspective. Can the Nait 5 deliver the musicallity? I wouldn't want to introduce any harshness or something that would be unpleasant.

John,

I was at Naim yesterday and had the pleasure of hearing the Nait5 with CD5 and SBLs in their Dem Room.

It was an extremely musical combination and in my view worked very well as a 'system'!

Thanks again to Mark T for his hospitality.
