NAP 250 Power Amplifier
The latest Naim NAP 250 delivers speed, power and agility providing exceptional detail and musicality in a package built to swing for another 30 years.
For over 30 years the NAP 250 has been at the heart of thousands of high-quality audio systems around the world. During the years of research that went into the NAP 500, many technical developments came about that could be successfully applied to the NAP 250. Many of these, along with the elegant new styling have been incorporated, resulting in a new Classic line-up.
Like the flagship NAP 500, and the NAP 300, the NAP 250 uses a new circuit design with improved earthing arrangements, built on a very high quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit board. The NAP 250 uses the same 007 transistors that were custom-designed for the NAP 500. These outstanding components each provide up to 80 amps and 350 Watts, negating the need to use parallel pairs of transistors (which always have a negative effect on sound). Additional 007 transistors are used in the fully regulated power supply, ensuring the very best performance.
Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet serve to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.
A new top-quality transformer is used providing the ability to deliver more than 15 Amps and swing a massive 400VA on transients. The NAP 250 is stable into any load and able to drive a 2-Ohm load for long periods of time.

Here is a selection of reviews that have been written about this product. Where PDF downloads or online links are available to us, they are featured.
"Yes there's a great deal of witchcraft involved in making this system work at its best"
What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision - September 2008
Naim is rightly proud of the reputation it's earned over the years for foot-tapping, booty-shaking hi-fi:this combo only cements it further ..."Much of this reliability comes down to Naim's eviable reputation for build quality!"
Hi-Fi Choice - July 2008
It's had the odd nip and tuck over the years, but few products define 'evergreen' as perfectly as the Naim Audio NAP 250 stereo power amplifier. ..."The bottom line is the NAP 250 still sounds suprisingly fresh and up to date, despite its long history"
Hi-Fi+ - February 2007
Not may hifi components get to celebrate their 25th Silver jubilee aniversaries, and few of those that do can claim to be unchanged throughout!...
