Can I be the first to say thanks to all the Naim staff at the Bristol show - putting all that kit together in a very limited timescale and getting it to sound as good as it did is a real achievement.

Well done and thanks again. I hope the effort results in more sales.

PS any chance of that 300 at ex-dem prices? Wink

Thanks for your kind words. It was rather good.

Nap 300 did cause quite a stire.

Mike,

Buy that 300, you know you want to. You might even get some brownie points for reducing your box count by one Wink

Many thanks from me too.

All demos were excellent, myself and Tina agreed that the DBL system was creating the best music at the show. The CDS3 and DBLs really brought out the atmosphere of the music, giving the Buddy Holly track an "antique" feel to it.

I am definitely angling for a Naim-based AV system sometime soonish.

Yes it was excellent....... a few thoughts

Mrs M (who claims that she cannot discern differences) was very impressed with the improvement wrought by the 300 compared with the 250, more dynamic, smoother and emotive her words!! The 500 was a smaller improvement.

Onto Buddy Holly, again her thoughts....we heard the same track in the B&W demo and she said...'Naim's was real, you felt you were in the studio and could see the performers in front of you with the orchestra clearly placed in the soundbooth on the right. B&W was like listening to a Cafe Orchestra, very upmarket lift music'.

I can assure you this is praise

Yes a big thank you to all the Naim staff for their efforts over the weekend I enjoy the show immensly. A special thank you to the guys in room 118 who were very helpful.

The CDS3 was something special and the rest of the kit is stunning. Looking forward to owning a CDS3 sometime in the future.

Regards

Hear, hear

Well done to Naim.

The dems were very effective. The music detailed, realistic, transparant, powerful.

Perhaps a bit of a one horse show, or should I say 4-horse show given that you had four demos going.

The boundaries of home entertainment have been pushed outwards beautifully.

A great day!

Cheers

Don
