Nap 250 DR vs 135's

Posted by: Sounsfaber on 03 January 2017

Given the 135's have had a recent naim service and the whole kit was the same other than amps (Blanced)Also the end user has space for the 2x135's etc. I'm not talking VFM either, who's the better amplification.

cheers

I'm not a glass half full type, just was curious what a NAP 500 sounds like compared to a 250 DR.
I've done the NAP 500 vs NAP 250.2 test, and surprisingly the 250.2 was not humiliated by the comparison, the bass was not the same, but High's were to my ears quite close.
Not the same with 250 DR. Highs were clearly better on NAP 500, but bass about the same.
Hence my run in comments.

I have the pleasure of being able to hear these two wonderful amps often, the 500dr has sl2's hanging out of it and the 250dr has some lovely spender SP100 which have had some work done on them recently. While the spedors aren't in the same league as the sl2's. I would suggest just to take your half full bottle of red and enjoy the 500. Leave the 250 at home so it stays warmed up.
