What do you think about this statement

I met someone at a party and we starting talking about music. He said he owned all Naim gear and he loved it. I told him I had all ARC gear. He said he used to own ARC but once he listened to name gear he sold all his ARC stuff. He said that Naim gear was more musically involving than ARC gear. I have only heard name gear one time at a show. I thought it sounded very good. I'd like to hear Opinions from people that are familiar with both brands.

I try and word my statements carefully. I generally include something like: "to my ears" in statements I make when comparing. I have heard gear by many high end manufacturers that is not the sound I am looking for. Heck, I have even owned gear in the past myself that I would no longer enjoy. People who make definite statements like this are simply ignorant. Now, go enjoy the music.

I'd say that's his opinion.

What's his favorite flavor of ice cream?

Since you met at a party why not meet again at each other's house and hear for yourselves' the difference?
The worst that can happen is two evenings of some wine(?), good music, and hopefully good company. Rather than go with other people's ears, here's a chance to use your own.
Listen and enjoy.

he has his opinion. the forums here have zillions. just do a search on the subject and you'll probably get a lot more ideas (opinions, but some more informed and well-articulated than others...) about the differences between these brands.

or, as has been said, you could actually listen to some Naim gear and decide if you like it enough to consider a home audition...
