Anne is quite correct when she equates "Naimophiles" with the Spanish Inquisition. Dare anyone speak ill of Naim, he/she shall be subjected to an auto-de-fa. But seriously, Naim gear doesn't lend itself to long listening sessions, partly because of its extremely detailed presentation. I must admit, though, that the first 30 minutes of listening to the Naim integrated amp is very enjoyable. Therefore, if you're the type of person who plays their equipment for short periods, as opposed to listening all of a rainy Sunday afternoon, then Naim fits your bill perfectly.
Naim -- Fatiguing?
Lots of research suggests that Naim equipment is forward with lots of PRaT, but the Series 5 components are a bit more refined. Does this sound get fatiguing after a while? Does it treat classical, space music, and simple acoustic music with the respect it gives rock and electronica? Thanks.
