    B&W with Naim amps

    Hi All

    I've been considering this for a while now (Naim amps with B&W's... clearly I can't be the only one?) and I thought I'd ask for any type of feedback from anyone who uses Naim electronics with their B&W speakers. Mine are 704's... any suggestions as to a Naim set up suitable to get these floorstanders humming?

      I can't help you with specifics but I did demo the NAP 300 when I was looking for an Amp for my 802D's. I thought they worked very well together but didn't go with the Naim as I have a MEridian G68 AV Processor/Pre Amp which didn't work well with the Naim. If you do go the Naim route Naim actually tweak their Amp's specifiacally to work with B&W speakers. If you are looking at Home Theatre I think yo can do much better than the Naim AV processor which may mean the naim Amp isn't the right way to go.

      If you check www.naim-audio.com there is a forum on there with plenty of info on Naim and B&W compatability and someone will be able to tell you what works well with the 704's

              No, unfortunately I'm not. I live in Cape Town, South Africa. Why do you ask?

                  There is a dealer in the NY area that uses Naim with B&W.
                  It's a good match, I purchased my XT4's there.

                      Value of used b&w 704s
                      by chuck21401
                      I have a pair of black B&W 704 speakers as part of my home theater system. I purchased them two years ago from a DC retailer - Myer Emco. The speakers were floor demos and I paid $1500.

                      My son was born around the time I bought speakers, he is now 2. He is obsessessed with the tweeter...

                      Trading in 704s for 703s
                      by mrpotto
                      Ok, so here's what I've decided to do. I'm trading my 704s in for 703s (I have a deal with a local dealer where I get to apply purchase price of 704s towards the 703s so it will be about $800 out of pocket to do so). For now I plan to keep my HTM7 center (I've read on some audio forums that the HTM&...

                      by Taito
                      Hi all, I've been mainly hanging around club Rotel - I own an RCD-1072, an RC-1070 and an RB-1080. Now, it's time to get a pair of really nice speakers.

                      I have looked at (listended to) several, including VAF Research (I-66), Sonus Faber GPs, Paradigm, Dynaudio Audience 72SE & KEF...
