Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
Vacuum tubes absolutely win out for ultimate musicality, especially on horns. There’s no doubt I love tubes, but there’s also no doubt that I hate tubes. Maintenance, noise, finding the perfect replacement or NOS and hopefully catching them before they go down run through my mind. I’m especially a little worried because my system is usually on 12+ hours a day and almost all weekend.
Now having the Duos as my main speakers, I’m on a mission for the “perfect” solid state amp for them.
I decided to try the Naim Supernait2 today. Naim takes a long time to run in and warm up but so far, I’m enjoying this combo. It’s dead quiet and very revealing. Soundstage not as large, tall, wide or deep as my better tube amps but it’ll need more time to run in. I love Naim in general and hope this combo blooms a little more. So far so good though.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
I got to play with both that little SS guy as well as their Hybrid Int with the Pure Audios. The ncore was really nice, quiet, effortless and at first I thought the volume knob was odd, but the feel and control was super. Cool little metal remote comes with it also.

Re: Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
You might find a pair of used Valvet Class A monos - they were designed on horns and are *very* quiet. I loved them on Zu. They also don't run particularly hot with only a single pair of transistors in the output stage.
Obviously FirstWatt is the other choice, but don't you already have a XA25? How did that sound?Brinkmann Bardo w/ EMT HSD-006 cart, MSB Reference DAC --> Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL --> Ampzilla 2000, 2nd Edition --> Fyne Audio F1-12

Have you ever tried the SuperCap DR with your Supernait2?
It usually increases the soundstage etc.Jock

Re: Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
I've heard of but not heard Valvet. An older brother has my XA25. He wanted it before I even contemplated Duos. I know Mike was not crazy about the XA25 on his Duo Mezzo but I am trying to get him to bring it back or pay me. I need to hear it. I do have a SIT-3 on order with no idea of a ship date.
Interesting, two recommendations on Valvet. I'll take a look.
Another friend recommended Sugden IA-4. https://www.sugdenaudio.com/ia-4-integrated-amplifier

Re: Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
From memory, I preferred the Valvets to the SIT 1/2. The SITs truncated decay despite having a big spooky SET-like midrange. The F7 sounded promising at a show last year though.
Sugden is another good idea. My Devore dealer basically uses them exclusively with the Gibbon series. Sweet sounding amp.

Re: Trying my Naim Supernait2 on the Avantgarde Duo XD today ...
A little update on the Naim SN2.
After running a little more than 24 hours, she’s almost back to her old self. That’s a great thing. You can tell when a piece is freshly out of the box or sitting idle for a long time, it’s a little harsh, constricted, thin and just not relaxed. Well, what a change a day makes and since the Duo are so revealing in a good way, I could tell it was not as musical as Naim usually sounds. Right now it’s sounding wonderful. Soundstage grew in all directions, definitely smoother on top and more of the classic Naim meat on the bone. Sounds so clear and open as well. I might not need to do anything and just enjoy my current amp rotation.
D@mn, I freaking love these Avantgarde Duo. I’m up way too late and smiling like a fool.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.
