Nait XS

With all of the rationalisations going on I hope the Nait XS will not be a casualty

I think it is one of the best in their range yet What Hi-Fi do not even mention it!

I found it so much better than the 5 (more detail, more clout and thump free)

Perhaps Naim ought to promote it more

Don’t think the XS will go anywhere. Too much competition in this price range to let it go.

Gorgeous amplifier that the Nait XS undeniably is, I think it worth asking the mods to ammend the thread title to XS 2.

No worries, the XS2 won’t go — Naim will introduce an ND5XS2. This move wouldn’t make sense without an XS amplifier.

What HiFi in due time gave it 5 stars and wrote wonders of it, calling it 'probably their preferred Naim amp'. It was the first one, though, not the .2.

Sorry I meant the mark 2 incarnation

I know there was a review of the original version many years ago but it never features in the current lists as though it does not exist
