Naim Neophyte

No Naim gear yet but..
Currently have Rega P3, 10X gold, Tom Evans phono stage, Alpha 6 and Royd Minstrels. Initially thought that next upgrade would be speakers but local dealer suggested that a better amp would get a lot more out of the Minstrels and suggested Naim. Have about 1 to 1.5K pounds to spend (new or second hand) and would welcome any words of wisdom. Would like to keep the (newish) phono stage though.

Indeed, the hi-fi corner is the place to go, but as with all hi-fi book a dem and check out the options with your own ears, naim and otherwise. Better still, borrow some alternatives for a few days (many dealers will allow this), and don't let anyone else tell you what works best for you (so if you don't like naim, don't buy it just 'cause we do!).
