Each about $1500, roughly 4 years ago. Pretty happy with 'em, but I'm starting to get the itch to go with something more than 2-channel....

I had some Naim gear about ten years ago. Nothing can match level of drive detail and, more than anything, display of rhythm.
NAC82/NAP140/HiCap. 40watts and masses of current.
Love the beautiful, green Naim legend on the face plates.

Don't use Naim gear anymore? What did you switch to, if I may ask?

Yah, I love the detail and sheer musicality of Naim stuff. Kinda dig the Cold War era Soviet design aesthetic too. Very funky.

I sold my Naim gear to pay for our wedding when I moved to the US in '98. Now have a super smooth and warm-sounding Musical Fidelity A300 to go with fairly recently purchased Martin Logan Aeon-i's. Project RPM6/Blue BPS EVO III cartridge.
