nSub + nSats V. Arivas
Posted by: Fabian Daniel Belger on 03 April 2006
Hello to the forum members,
I'm new to the forum but my relations with Naim started 22 years ago with the first Nait. Since then I upgraded the system several times and present system comprises the following: cds1( new transport & new black Burndy - hi-line will soon be ordered ),Nac 202(soon to be replaced by ordered Nac 282)/Napsc/HiCap/Nap 200),LP12/Geddon/Prefix/Flatcap, Nat 03, Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers.The next items will follow:
Fraim + N-vi + surround speakers and finally CDS3 With 555PS to replaced the CDS1.
My questions are related to the integration of the N-vi to the hi-fi system. As I see two options are open:
a. the traditional option- N-vi + nSats x 2 + nCenter + nSub.
b. the second comprises - Nap 250.2 replacing the Nap 200 and substituting the nSub and Arivas x 2 instead of nSats x 2 as rear speakers + n-Vi + nCenter as in option a.
Musically ( if option b.is practical )which setup is the best.According to my dealer using the Arivas as rear speakers is a waste.
My second question is about the connection of the nSub to the system according to the posts that I read for hi-fi is preferable to connect it to a free output of the Hicap, so if I want to listen to a multichannel recording should I switch it over to the n-Vi's sub connection ?
Any input from you will be appreciated.
Fabian
