NAP V175 vs. 2 x NAP140 ?

Posted by: Roy Donaldson on 27 February 2006

Hi there,

I'm currently running my AV system with a NAP140 for the rear channels and a single NAP140 running the centre channel. Obviously, this is a couple of boxes.

I'm considering moving over to using a NAP V175, which will drop the box count and start me moving over to the new series sound.

However, I'm not sure on how the power output of this will compare to the 140's I have at present.

Does anyone know what the difference in power will be on this ?

Thanks,
Roy.

Can't compare with a NAP 140 but I have a 200 and V175 and having moved the 200 in front then rear just to try, I plan to buy 2 NAP 200.
Front : dialogue is much more fluid and deep and space is wider
Rear : Unbelievable how much space is wider in the back and around and sound is less directive and more dynamic.

So I would replace 140 by 200.

Or, may be, one day, Naim releases a NAP V200 mono or 3 channels to make a better difference with that numeric n-Vi much cheaper than it's now very expensive "analog equivalent" AV2/DVD5/150/V175 ?
... that's a 2 years old repetitive senile dream of a person who tasted NAP 200 over 150 or V175 Winker .

OUPS I was wrong, instead of reading Front you should read Center.
My NAP 200 is on Front speakers and my V175 on Center + Rear channel and I tried the 200 on Center then on Rears.
Sorry.
