Naim audio have a rich history of producing world-beating pre and power amplifiers. Ever since Naim's first power amplifier, the NAP160, was released in 1971, they have been striving for sonic perfection.

Several iconic products, such as the original NAIT released in 1983 and the NAP135 launched in 1984, have set the basis for the current range of Naim amplification. The pinnacle of this development is currently shown by the mighty NAP 500 and NAC 552 pre/power combination which stands at the top of the audiophile tree as a truly world-beating combination. The Naim range starts with the NAIT 5si and continues through to the Reference 500 system.

Naim 500 Series Amplification

Naim 500 Reference Series System

The Naim 500 series Reference System is the culmination of 30 years of hard work, testing and development, with the aim of creating the finest audio system in the world. This journey started in the year 2000 with the introduction of the two-box, 140W NAP 500 power amplifier. With the NAP 500 viewed by some as the best power amplifier in the world, Naim then set out to replace the NAC52 with a new world-beating preamplifier.

In 2002 the Naim NAC 552 was born, also adopting the two box system of a separate head unit and external power supply, the NAC 552 has won critical acclaim across the globe for its portrayal of all genres of music as well as the musical and punchy style, which to this day is synonymous with the Naim brand. The final piece in the jigsaw came in September 2005 when Naim released the CD555 at the Hi-Fi and Home Entertainment Show at Heathrow. After winning awards all over the world, it is generally viewed as one of, if not the best CD player of all time. Sleek, simple and stylish the CD555 was an instant classic. With the advent of digital streaming, the CD555 has now been superceded by the ND 555 Network player, taking digital music replay to new heights.

Both the NAC 552PS and CD 555PS power supplies have recently benefitted from Naim’s DR upgrades, a development which has raised their performance even higher! The Naim 500 Reference System is a showcase of the very best of British Hi-Fi in the 21st century and really pushes the boundaries of what is possible from Hi-Fi in the modern age.
