Ryder hit the nail on the head here, I have either had or currently own both of the systems youre comparing. Both are powerful, but the Accu is more refined and grown up sounding, the Naim is more energetic and presents a big stage. What was missed is that the Accu is dead quiet at idle, no hum, hiss or buzz anywhere while the Naim, and all of them, hiss quite a bit.
NAIM 282/250DR/HC2DR against Accuphase E5000
Hi, I’m building a system again from scratch after a divorce. My speakers will be Kudos Titan 606. Contemplating integrated Accuphase E5000 vs separates NAIM 282/HCDR/250DR.
I hear both are a good match to the 606, in my country I can get a better discount on Accuphase and so the prices are E5000 USD $11,400 vs the NAIM combo. USD$ 14,250.
I like most music except jazz and most classical.
