At least they do in Salisbury and that is where Peter and an expectant number of Cymbiosis customers headed for a visit to the Naim factory on Monday 23^rd September 2019.

Peter and Alison met a couple of the attendees for drinks on the Sunday evening at the hotel where they were staying to chat about music and hi-fi.

On the Monday morning everyone met up at the factory, where they were greeted by Mark Raggett and Mike Heath and due to the numbers, were split into two groups with one doing a factory tour and the other visiting the newly refurbished demonstration room.

The factory tour took the logical route to first seeing the building of the products, then to the rigorous testing before moving on to the packing and shipping departments. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to visit the R&D department, some things have to remain a secret!

The new listening room was voted a huge success, particularly by those who had visited it before.

The demonstrations included a listen to Naim’s flagship Statement amplification with their ND555 network player and Focal loudspeakers. Also demonstrated was the 500 series amplification, which acquitted itself well in the illustrious company of the Statement amplification.

Lunch was enjoyed in the Naim canteen before the two groups changed places to complete their visits of the factory and demonstration room. The two groups then came together in the demo room for an interesting Q&A session with some of the key Naim staff.

Everyone then headed for home after a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening day.

Cymbiosis and our customers would like to take this opportunity to extend their thanks to all at Naim for their hospitality in hosting this visit.
