Naim Audio NAP 150 - Power Amplifier (demo unit) —Mint condition!
.
Here we have a beautiful Naim Audio NAP 150 power amp for sale.
Excellent audiophile power amp from Naim giving great performance with stunning good looks.
This is a perfect match for any Naim pre-amplifier.
.
The 150 is in mint, unmarked cosmetic condition.
.
A pre-amp/power amp combo will normally be able to “eek more” out of a pair of speakers than an integrated amplifier will.
Usually, removing the pre-section from the power amp and moving it away from the huge mains transformer that the power section needs will usually bring many “benefits” to a good hi-fi system.
You will notice that the integrated amplifier route does not give the same “separation” and “detail” as the pre/power amps combo route. Complicated music is also “easier to follow” on the pre/power combo.
.
Naim has built it's reputation on producing World Class Hi-Fi, and this power amplifier is a perfect example.
.
.
Comes in original Naim box,
with original Naim crabtree power cable.
.
Again, this amp is in top class condition and second to none.
.
Thanks for looking and buy with confidence —we have been selling many leading hi-fi brands for over 10-years.

NAP 150 Power Amplifier
.
Details:
.
The NAP150's good looks and compact dimensions discretely house an extremely fast, powerful and musical amplifier.
.
It uses the new 5-Series die-cast chassis - how satisfying, heavy and solid it is - with a clean, quality, solid, masculine look.
.
During active duty, the Naim logo on the amplifier's front panel light up tastefully backlit in green to let you know that power is flowing through the system.
.
Designed with meticulous attention to detail, it sets new standards in its class with performance and flexibility to match.
.
The heart of the amp circuit is a version of the world class NAP 500 with a substantial and very quiet power supply using a custom designed and manufactured toroidal transformer.
.
Provides a smooth 50 watts per channel giving you a clear dynamic sound,
but as many a Naim at many a time has proven, 50-watts is “more than enough”. With a 250VA transient voltage capability, the NAP 150 is, on paper, not short of breath, and as listening proved, is not in real world terms either - as one can miss-takenly thought that this amp's power output is well over 100-Watts.
To me, part of this amplifier's appeal is that they manage to sound as big as any over 100-watts amps.
Using Naim amplification - you will get “lovely open sound”.
The sound is still unmistakably Naim – there is still that Naim sense of dynamics, a knack for pace, rhythm, timing and gilt-edged slam. Those sterling qualities that have always made Naims, well, Naims.
The old Naim amps used to be a fussy lot with regard to partnering equipment, especially with regard to loudspeakers; the NAP 150 is less so, and indeed is the best I have worked with yet. It is all about speed, slam and muscle.
From a musical perspective, the blend of the brand’s old world charm are still here, capturing the necessary elements that make music musical; good pace and timing.
.
When you listen through the Naim gear, it's almost impossible not to enjoy what you're listening to.
If you fall asleep with the music, no big deal - you don't worry about setting the drapes on fire, or children and pets electrocuting themselves with tubes. The Naim just sits there in entirely demure fashion and does its thang: Make great music.
.
Definitely this is a cracking and appealing amplifier.
Naim is Hi-Fi gear designed for grown ups who put music first.
