Yeeeees. Naim.
Well, their kit has been recommended for use with the Neats because Naim (and LFD) gear was used during the design and test.
For me though, this presents a few issues:
- I don't know if a Nait 5i offers much drive over the Audiolab.
- A NAP 250 will definitely work but even on its own, is right out of my price range.
- The minimum is a NAP180 and I can probably afford one but then I need a Naim pre and Naim interconnects etc etc which also pushes it out of my price bracket
- In order to stop it sounding too bright, I need to keep the pre on all the time which I'm loathed to do.
