Here's a picture of the new Naim loudspeakers playing at RMAF. 


More info: http://www.naim-audio.com/products/ovator.html

Black Sand is a Naim dealer. Have you heard these yet John?  Anybody heard them at the show and care to comment? Thanks!

Rich got me thinking on these so I called up the distributor and they aren't in stock yet nor is pricing available.

I have been warned however that they are going to be very expensive to ship as a result of the weight of each speaker. From what I have been told they are coming in at close to 160 pounds per speaker in the box and roughly 143 pounds out of the box.

I will be very interested to see what the yet to be released flagship version weighs in at it!

I'll be very interested to hear what it sounds like. I have been reading about it. Lots of Naim weenies chatting it up in UK. It went on prototype tour there in the summer.  With a set at RMAF one can hope they will start showing up at dealers.  But NAIM is not yet signed up for the Stereophile AXPONA show in Jacksonville in March.

If I were to guess their secret location, I'd bet they're probably sitting right here in Indy at ASL Group  :drool:  They have a nice little showroom if you call ahead...

Makes sense Tom, since they are NAIM US importer now.

Actually, looking at the AXPONA exhibitors list a little more closely, it looks like 4 US importers each bringing their multiple lines, and a couple local FL dealers. Not like RMAF.
