| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Going by OP's first post I would say Naim Audio gear is a little bit of Type 1 and Type 2. Their reputation I think was created out of Type 2 sound - the full PRAT without soundstage and super resolution But through the years the Naim sound has ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I think real expensive cable is aimed at a market where the buyer is not fussed about price. If a buyer purchases a high end expensive equipment which is lets say equivalent on cost to a luxury sports car it would be psychologically correct to buy... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Wagner’s Lohengrin, Kempe and Vienna Philharmonic, from 1964. Super duper. Is this on Cd? | |

| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health I thought Rock era was declining until I heard Muse. Without Rock there would be no Muse, so its influence is certainly not dead and in my opinion there is so much in the music surrounding 'Rock', its influence will survive despite the 'oppositi... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? I am glad that PROAC are ok, I was little concerned about them as there is so little reviews as to their speakers in the English HiFi magazines espescially in the last 5 years. I often read about B&W speakers, Spendor, Quad, Riga, Monitor Audi... | |

| Naim -- Fatiguing? I used to own Naim Nac92 and Nap180, Naim CDX with Epos floor standing speakers. For me this system was great for band type music but not so good with classical music. For eg the group The Pogues has many members playing different instruments in... | |
