The Spendor Classic 3/5 are built around a totally new generation of Spendor drive units. Featuring advanced polymer and Kevlar cones, cast magnesium alloy chassis, high-efficiency motor systems, optimised electro-dynamic damping and excellent thermal dissipation, they deliver a truly captivating sound with unprecedented transparency and dynamic contrast. 

 

The NaimUniti sounds superb, whatever source you use. With CD the performance is not far off that of a CD5i/Nait 5i combination. 

But feed it the real stuff – lossless or uncompressed music files, or high-bitrate rips or streams – and this is a system that's both remarkably easy to listen to and massively rewarding. 

 

The amplification has more than enough power to drive even demanding speakers, the sound is clean, open and gutsy, whether with mainstream music or high-quality classical downloads. Set-up and operation is as simple as can be. 

 

What's more, the design is built to be upgraded, whether with the addition of a preamp or a Naim phono stage, or via firmware changes using the R232 connection on the rear panel. 

 

The OB1i is the first floorstanding model to employ three precision drivers and a sophisticated hand built 24dB per octave crossover. These factors create a major step up in performance with improved resolution in all areas. 

 

The most noticeable feature of the OB1i is the complement of three precision drive units. Between the new PMC/SEAS® developed SONOLEX™ tweeter and PMC’s unique bass unit sits the dedicated 75mm soft dome mid-range, housed in its own acoustically isolated enclosure. This professionally proven drive unit produces a wholly transparent mid range creating clarity of vocal that is truly tangible. The increase in bass definition derives from the stiffer piston-like woofer and upgraded ATL™. The bass attack is immediate and packs a dynamic punch. 

 

First designed by Naim Audio founder Julian Vereker in 1971, the NAP 200 has Naim Audio musicality written into its DNA. As Naim's first production amplifier, no single product encapsulates their philosophy better. Its design is simple and uncompromising, with a single-minded focus on one thing: creating an enduring musical connection with the listener. 

 

More recently the NAP 200 has benefitted from the years of research that went into the NAP 500 amplifier. Many of the developments from the 500 Series project have helped to revitalise its electronic design and componentry bringing significant and hard-earned gains to performance. Beneath this new technology however, it retains the values which helped to make it an icon: simplicity, focus and sheer musicality. 

 

The NAP 200 has been revitalised and reintroduced in 2015 with the addition of a Naim Audio DR (Discrete Regulator) module to power its partnered Naim Audio preamplifier. This comes alongside small improvements to some internal componentry and layout that combine to lift its musical performance even further than the original.
