Strength:
A major online retailer was offering two NAD C272 amps for $1,000. I had recently purchased a NAD T-775HD for home theater purposes, but wanted more "oomph" for listening to my music in two channel stereo mode. Since I wanted an all-in-one solution (home theater, videogames, and music in two channel stereo), and the T-775HD had pre-amp outs, commercial truck suspension repair Weakness:

Strength:
Full frequency range, extremely musical and detailed, good buy for a 3 way speaker, can be placed close to the back wall without muddiness, easy to drive.
Weakness:
Perhaps a bit midrange forward, but only noticed on not-so-good recordings. Excellent tweeter and supportive bass. I agree with the previous reviewer. A great speaker for the money. Good
Customer Service Customer Service excellent. Heard rattling in bottom of one speaker while moving it. Dealer spoke to Naim and came to my home to remedy....it was only that the damping material had moved a little causing the internal wire to occasionally hit the back of the speaker...Did not affect the sound and was easily fixed. Similar Products Used: Linn Ninka, various Spendor. |

Strength:
Awesome build quality! The tweeter is a ring radiator from Vifa that is also used in Sonus Faber, Audio Physics, and a few other models. Very smooth and detailed. The speaker is a true 3 way design so each driver gets its own enclosure. The midrange may be a touch forward, but not in a bad way. Great bass.
Weakness:
None. At this level it's so hard to rate something a giant killer, but this speaker is one of the best values for the money at this price point. First of all, I'm a conservative reviewer, so don't let the ratings fool you. This is an excellent speaker that is a little more "round earth" than what most Naimees are used to. I demoed the Arivas against ATC, Neat, and the old Naim Intro II speakers. With my system (Rega Planet and Brio) the Arivas really did magic. Great Music!!! For $2400 you should expect a lot of speaker and the Arivas don't disappoint. Similar Products Used: ATC SCM12, Neat Petite, Neat Elite, Naim Intro II's, limited extent ATC 100's. |
