Naim 200 Classic

The test setup

Contents

We tested the NAIM 200 Classic as a complete system. We used as speakers the TAD Evolution Two. Mains cables were kept standard. No fancy mains cables were used! We also did not use any filters.

As interlinks we used Grimm TPM. As speaker cables we used Van den Hul Nova.
