Hi,
I have noticed that the AV2 is no more existing in the naim site !!
Does this means the end of the av2 ? has anyone any info ?

It seemed to disappear some time ago (January)....As Tony noticed here.

Unfortunately, Naim seem incapable of confirming the exact situation either way (I think they still may be available if you really want one...?)....A situation which is confused still further by items still on the website that are also known to be discontinued.....

In other words, we ain't got a clue...!!

As a follow up, it's worth taking a look at the latest Naim price list, which tends to be more accurate in indicating what products are, and are not, available.....

There are now NO AV related products on the current price list (excepting NAP145, which has both AV & Stereo use)...............

It was confirmed that Naim were developing an AV3 however I posted an interesting thread on why this might be a non starter. I have to now assume Naim is a two channel hi fi company and no longer have any interest in Av Pre amps. In fact not many companies produce AV Pre's so it looks like its a two channel system with a jap box added on. Shame really but it seems very difficult to now manufacture these products.

Have a read at the Av3 maybe a non starter thread I started and you might get a better idea why this is so difficult for a small company like Naim to produce. It makes a bit of sense to me as Meridian keep all the digital signals for HDMI out of there Av pre's and supply a separate box for that.
