I was going to buy one of these for a bedroom system ideal but then read allegedly if it ever breaks down its a door stop as Naim won't repair them once out of warranty bit worrying for something costing £1300. I've no doubt it does sound great though. In the end I went for blue sound powermode 2i and a pair of Dali Oberon 1s can also add a sub if more bass is required good review Phil I am sure plenty will buy one.

I've always ended up with a headache after listening to naim. It's so shouty.
It's well priced, I'll give it that.

When I used to work in JL, the 1st gen would frequently be returned because of problems with the touchscreen on it. I think our demo model worked for a total of 1 week for the 7 months I worked there

The Naim MUSO series dosent sound like 'Naim'. I don't particularly like NAIM Hifi, but I havea Muso  and two QB's, they are fantastic and probably the best there is.

I do also like the Audio Pro C series, I have a C3 also.

I've had my Muso's now for three years, used daily, never had an issue. I think one of the things that sets NAIM aside is the stability of their streaming systems, never have any drop outs or loss connections etc.

So what do you think about using this primarily as a TV soundbar compared to equivalently priced Samsung and Sony soundbars? I don't care about mimicking 5.1/atmos, I just want great pure sound......

Couldn't comment as I've never done it. My OLED has a soundbar built in (E7) which is great, and my main system is wired up to it when needed.

I have never heard a soundbar that was any good tbh, all top and low heavy to mimic an 'impressive' sound, the Q Acoustics one is very good as its far more natural sounding, but I cannot see why the NAIM would not excel in that area tbh.

Can’t see anywhere if it supports DTS. Had a look on the website bit not clear. Could be a replacement for my Sonos soundbar if it does.

It doesn't. Stereo PCM only. It's a stereo audio product that can additionally be used as a boost for a TV.
