Naim Nait 5Si and Focal 807W Speakers


Are the Naim Nait (5si) Integrated Amplifier/s sonically good match with the Focal Speaker/s (807W).

Zd542,
That was good one. I think that anything at Walmart would sound better then Naim.

I don't need lots of power, 2x50/55w would be enough. I do
like the Parasound power Amplifiers but not the Preamps.

I will try with the Arcam A19. Would be Arcam more open then
NAD.
Topten, I had the NAD 320BEE and 325BEE (still have them actually). I really like NAD gear. I've had the Arcam A19 for the past 15 months. From my experience the A19 is more open, transparent and smoother than the 50 watt offerings from NAD. The A19 sounds big with great detail and tone. The soundstage is wide and has good depth with a room filling sound.

Now, here's where the A19 jumps ahead big against the its competition: Build quality and functionality. Build quality is exemplary with great fit and finish and a substantial solid feel. The volume control has 99 half db steps and tracks perfectly even as you turn the A19 lower and lower to no output.

With the A19 music stays intact wether playing at background/conversation levels or cranking it up. It also has a very even presentation. I would some it up as having smooth refined highs, open, transparent mids with substantial puchy lows. I hope you get a chance to hear it.

NAD is another good choice but I don't know the sound of either well enough to make the comparison. There is one really nice thing about NAD, though. All their integrated amps, except their lowest price model, jump the amp and preamp sections externally in the rear using rca jacks. That means you can use it just as an amp or just as a preamp, and keep the signal from running through the piece that you are not using. Its great if you plan on upgrades in the future.
Samac and Zd542,
Thank you much on opinions.
Actually, I am listening the Focals with the NAD C356BEE.
I upgraded the stock Pre/Amp jumpers with the Cardas jumpers. The sound is good, deep bass and extended highs. The problem is, the Volume gain on the NAD.
I barely can move the volume knob.
On 6.35 position is already too loud.
That's the only reason why am I looking for the Amplifier
with the similar sound to the NAD. The Arcam could be even better solution since I heard that is warmer than NAD
Can you list your entire system, cables, tweaks and whatever else? Also, just to clarify, 6.35 is where the minute hand would be on a clock? Where does the volume know normally sit with the volume turned all the way down? The reason I'm asking is that most volume controls are turned all the way down at 6.35. I'm also assuming that you have 1 pair of speaker cables connected to speaker a on your amp and that speaker b is off.
