A Naim New Classic Series? That sounds right up our alley considering our editor-in-chief used to call himself a “Naim man” back in the ’90s. So when we heard the news that Naim was going to bring back some of their most iconic models to celebrate the marque’s 50th anniversary, we got excited.

Here’s the press release from Focal Naim:

Naim New Classic Range – Naim Audio since 1973 – Celebrating 50 years

CES, Las Vegas – January 4, 2023 – Naim Audio launched in 1973 with a simple aim: to experience music replayed in its truest and purest possible form. That meant pushing the boundaries of what is viable, applying an obsessive attention to detail in the pursuit of musical authenticity.

Half a century on, its end goal still starts with the music that moves us; an unwavering line from the first Naim products to the creation of the Naim New Classic range: the NSC 222 streaming pre-amplifier; an all-new iteration of the iconic NAP 250 power amplifier; and the NPX 300 power supply upgrade. Each boasts more features – including balanced connections –without sacrificing sound quality.

Designed and engineered by specialists in England, the Naim New Classic range is handcrafted with care and built to last. Sophisticated yet simple to use, these timeless products aim to bring you years of listening pleasure. There are also a range of ways to integrate these new products with existing Naim models.

“From designing in our best-ever performance at this level, to added features and flexibility to eco-friendly elements – Naim New Classic products use less than 0.5W in standby – we’ve combined our 50 years of experience with the very latest technology to redefine home hi-fi,” said Steve Sells, Head of Engineering
