SBL Current Crossover Options

Posted by: progan on 01 March 2017

Hi

Now that Naim have stopped the recap refurb service does anybody know of anyone who undertakes this work, or are there any crossovers from another source that will work? I know they come up on ebay every now and then.

Thanks

Hi,

if I can, the same question may be of interest for also the other legacy Naim crossovers.

Thx.

You could try Darren at Class A or perhaps Tom Tom. I believe SL2 cross overs work with SBLs too just in case you need to widen your search.

I managed to source a new SBL paxo via my dealer last year. Lucky for me! How about cold calling Naim dealers in case they have a pair gathering dust? Or perhaps they have a techie able to solder in some new caps?

SL2 xovers do indeed work well, and if are being used "loose" actually hang between the frame of SBLs.

There seems to be various stories about SBL xovers, a discussion maybe last year said one poster had got new ones from HQ.   

I think it would be useful as this comes up regularly, if NAIM could give a definitive update on whether SBL or SL2 are available/ serviceable.

Howard,

i don't *think* either SBL or SL2 x-overs are available from naim anymore : (

However, it would seem naim keep changing the goalposts on this, so best to phone naim and ask.

But if you have the existing SBL x-overs;  you can also ask naim HQ, or Darren at Class A if he can overhaul them, and not just for re-cap but new NACA 5 with nice proper solder job please : )

Naim informed me last week that they had stopped, I know Tom Tom but not Class A so thanks for that.
