Suggested System 7

Whoa! This is as far as you can go right now - in passive mode. A system that will blow your mind - and blow the glass out of your windows if you're playing it at the levels it deserves.

This is the point where beauty meets brute force . . . and the results are magical. Power, passion, panache: the most convincing musical experience you'll enjoy short of having your favourite performer round to play a private gig in your living room.

The system comprises:

  • CD555 compact disc player with 555PS power supply
    The CD555 sits at the top of our CD player range and provides reference-grade musical coherence and enjoyment.
  • NAC 552 preamplifier
    The superb performance of the NAC552 and 552PS offers stunningly musical and accurate hi-fi reproduction.
  • NAP 500 power amplifier
    The NAP 500 is the ultimate expression not only of a Naim power amplifier but perhaps of audio engineering itself.
  • DBLloudspeakers
    When performance means everything the DBL reigns supreme. Awesomely powerful and accurate, it creates a sense of scale that other systems struggle to approach.

Recommended Upgrades

  • Go active with...[What is an active system?]
  • Add two more NAP 500 power amplifiers...
  • and a SNAXO 362 crossover
  • Add a second 555PS, to enhance the performance of the CD555 and bring significant musical rewards
  • HDX hard disk player
    Add a music library, the HDX reads audio data from a CD and stores to its hard drive (up to 600 discs); catalogues the artist, album and track titles; and, at the touch of a screen, replays it with utterly uncompromised sound quality.
