Beautiful setup Howard.... as Dan said it is both striking and relaxing. I have always liked your room to begin with....to be honest I really know nothing about Naim gear, and I too would be curious as to your impressions on its sonic character as compared to your previous McIntosh system.
Congratulations on yet another beautiful and obviously well thought out system. Pete

Obviously, I haved loved McIntosh for a very, very long time - since the early 1970's. The main characteristic of the Naim is musicality. Most Naim people refer to it as PRAT (Pace, Rhythm And Timing). It is very difficult to keep your toes from tapping and almost impossible to turn off the system at nightime. Naim synergy with Dynaudio is amazing.

Howard,
Your new system looks great and I bet it sounds incredible. I also really like the look of your setup (matches your living room decor perfectly). Congrats How does it sound?

Congratulations Howard! The updated system looks (and I bet sounds) spectacular! That Naim/Dynaudio pairing must be a great match - would love to hear it sometime!!

It is great when the change in system really brings an added value. Hopefully, there are many great brands in HiFi and each one has its own personality. Naim is able of super great music for all Naim systems. I remember how speechless I was when I listened to a pair of ProAc Response 3 with a 30 W Naim Nait 3. Absolutely stunning, involving and addictive. At this time, 1000 euros for me was a very high price to pay for an integrated. So I passed. Later on I bought a Nap250/2 but the synergy with the Mcs was very poor. Naim is really good with Naim. Enjoy this beautiful system for long long years ! Sent from my iPad using A.Aficionado
