The NAIT XS3 is an integrated amplifier from Naim, sitting above the NAIT 5SI with somewhat greater output and a dedicated phono input. The NAIT XS3 brings Naim's more accomplished current engineering to a complete integrated solution.
Key specs that matter
Four single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided. Output power is 70W into 8 ohms, somewhat more than the NAIT 5SI's 60W. At 301 x 70 x 432mm and 8.5kg, the NAIT XS3 shares chassis width and height with the NAIT 5SI at a somewhat greater weight reflecting the additional phono circuitry.
Sound and use context
Expect the engaging, rhythmically precise character Naim's broader amplifier catalogue is celebrated for, with the built-in phono input covering a turntable directly without needing a separate outboard phono stage.
Pairing
The built-in phono input covers a turntable directly, and Naim's own broader loudspeaker catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings.
Alternatives
Naim's own NAIT 5SI offers a more accessible alternative without the dedicated phono input, while the SUPERNAIT 3 sits above with even greater output.
