Current production Naim Nait XS 2 integrated amp in excellent condition electronically very good condition cosmetically. This is the current 70 watts per channel version with front-panel headphone output (US retail price is $3495). Please do not confuse this model with the previous generation 60-watt version offered in other ads.This current model XS 2 offers cleaner, more transparent, more dynamic sound than the previous model (which I have owned). Also, compared to the Nait 5i-2 (which I’ve also owned), the XS 2 represents a big step up in drive, coherence, imaging, and musical naturalness. This amp sounds great driving my Harbeth or Spendor speakers. And the headphone output sounds wonderful driving Sennheiser HD 700s. Selling because I’ve moved to Naim separates. I’m the second owner and have always operated the amp with care in a non-smoking household. I received the amp with some light marks and scratches on the top. See the close-up photo of the scratches in bright light. As the other photos show, in normal light these marks are not very visible. Faceplate is perfect. Comes with remote control, Naim power cord, Naim speaker plugs (you can also use banana plugs), and original factory shipping box. I didn’t receive the original manual but will provide a printout of the relevant pages from the online PDF manual. Reasonable offers welcome. PayPal welcome and with no extra fee at the asking price. US-48 sales only, please. Please check my Asylum feedback. I can also refer you to my record of all-positive feedback on Audiogon and Head-Fi. Specs and features:
