No Shane the XS2... I believe the SN2 is far too harsh sounding and this XS2 is quite a 'smoothy' really .... It is just so musical... I can't believe it myself...Originally Posted by southall-1998

Good job I arrived at this thread late , I was going to ask if it buzzed
But I wont ask now

I think Julian Vereker stuck rigidly to hos old designs and wouldn't allow anyone to deviate from them or the established Naim sound - which I personally found unbearable. However, since his death I think there have been considerable changes at Naim. I haven't heard a new Naim amp so I can't comment on them.

Well Shane I have posted before about not 'getting' the Naim sound and I've probably rubbished Naim in the past..... BUT I had a moment of weakness so had to try it at home... I purchased on eBay and it's absolutely as new and less than a year old...I've spoken to the chap I got it from on the phone a few times and it certainly does come from a very good home..Why be embarrassed?

I am really enjoying it... and it does not have the harshness that I previously associated with anything Naim...
Also leaving it powered up all the time is novel to me after valve amps...

It is what it is, Bev.
The modern Naim stuff can sound very good!
