N-vi power amp

I've run mine with a 140 and 250 (needed a special lead made up for the 250). What are your plans ?

James

Thanks for the reply james
this is my brothers nvi and he wants to get a 250 pa then add 282 and cdp
what lead for the 250 where can he get one made etc....

I run mine with a NAP 200, it's a good match, works absolutely fine and makes a noticeable difference.

You need a 4 pin to 5 pin lead to take the output from the nVi to the input of Nap 200 and then you need to select "external small/large speakers" when you setup the nVi.

Hope this helps.

Hello

I have a n-Vi .
And i drve my Allae loudspeaker with a Nap 250.2 (the cable are a 5 pin DIN to 3 pin XLR).

The sound with the n-Vi are good . The sound with the Nap 250.2 are very very good .

What pre-amp is the N-Vi akin too?

Is the 252 above it in quality?

I only ask as Gary has just prompted me to wonder whether this is the way to add cinema sound to my existing 252+300 set-up???

Regards,

Jon

I went that route but the 282 into a 250 compared to an n-Vi into the 250 is night and day.

The Nac 282 are better to a n-Vi in pre-amp ?

Yes , certainly , but the nac 282 are expensive .

But the nac 282 are my futur upgrade or a nac 112x , 122 x (that take down to my money and my patience ).

There are two official Naim cables for connecting an n-Vi to a Naim power amp.

03-003-0145 (Interconnect Lead, 5 Pin DIN 180o to XLR, 2 Channel) - For connecting NAP250

03-003-0146 (Interconnect Lead, 5 Pin DIN 180o to 4 Pin DIN) - For connecting NAP90, NAP110, NAP140, NAP150, NAP150x, NAP160, NAP180, NAP200

Your dealer should be able to obtain these for you.

Cheers

Jon,

The n-Vi's preamp is similar in quality to a 112x, as reflected by its cost (you get a whole n-Vi for half the cost of a 252). It is an excellent way of introducing surround to your Naim system, leaving the two channel sources to play through the 252, but enjoying the n-Vi as a surround sound source to the 252 through its AV input with unity gain switched on, while powering your centre, surround and sub through the n-Vi's power amps.

Thanks for that, Frank, that is exactly what I wanted to know!!

Cheers!

Jon
