The 500 Club, Wow!
Hmmmm.... I may have to change my speakers at some stage... Not sure if Nigel B will let me though
After all we have our own club - 'Monitor Audio with Naim Club'....
Just let me know how the 552 sounds with the 250DR and MA GX300s before you abandon the club and leave me it's one and only member.
I was just teasing you Nigel
I actually like how they sound. If anything I'm tempted to try the new MA Platinum II... But there is absolutely no rush.
I should hope there is no rush, those Vertere links will hardly be run in yet.
By the way, I too have been toying with the idea of a 552 with my trusty 250DR for some time. I know the 552 deserves a 300 or 500 but the 250DR is soooo good, it might just work. I have always been a source first kind of bloke (OK a 552 is not a source component but we both have NDSs and there is no where to go with a streamer source as yet) and every time I have heard one, I have been very impressed. I have always had the feeling that the pre amp is the heart and soul of any system and I have had some of the biggest SQ gains when I have upgraded my pre amp.
The GX 300s are superb and I have clearly heard the sonic gains of every upgrade over the last few years with these underrated speakers. But if a 552 does arrive in either of our households, it may (just may) be time to put them into retirement. A tear just rolled down my face.
Keep us informed old chap.
Sometime next year... 
Actually I would be very surprised if MA GX300 were not up to a job of handling an NDS + NAC552 + NAP250DR. A bit of an unusual set up that would be, but I think it would sound rather good.

Now that would be the purest of Monkfish. I do love Monkfish, far better than Mullet IMHO.
