AV Setup with non-Naim processor
Posted by: Swifty on 25 May 2003
Hi Guys,
After some very helpful feedback a while ago, I hope I have now resolved my mullet problem...I am now running CDX/CDPS, 102/HICAP/NAPSC, 135's into Shahinian Obelisks
During the upgrades I have kept a few bits and pieces, Shahinian Compasses for the rears and a 180 to drive them. I would love an AV2 but with all the upgrades I just can't afford it the moment. Can I use a non-Naim processor ?
I think I am right in saying that Naim pre-amps perform some clipping so the 180 would expect a clipped signal, will I damage anything if I am not using a Naim pre-amp ?
Has anyone done this ? What cheap processors can be recommended i.e. eBay circa £ 150 that can be sold on when the AV2 budget is there. There are a couple of Yamaha processors designed for this I think, no idea what they are like. Once the AV2 is in place the centre/sub will be next...then maybe moving house miles away from any civilisation.
Many thanks,
Swifty.
