The NAP 500 DR is a flagship stereo power amplifier from Naim, built with comprehensive dual-mono internal architecture and considerable chassis mass. The NAP 500 DR represents Naim's most ambitious current statement in power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Output power is 2 x 140W into 8 ohms. Gain is 30dBu. At 520 x 160 x 432mm and 25kg, the NAP 500 DR represents a substantial flagship-tier commitment reflecting Naim's characteristic considered internal engineering.
Sound and use context
Expect the engaging, rhythmically precise character Naim's broader amplifier catalogue is celebrated for, delivered here through the brand's most accomplished current power amplifier engineering.
Pairing
Naim's own NAC 552 preamplifier shares the brand's coherent flagship-tier engineering philosophy, forming a natural companion component for a fully matched Naim system.
Alternatives
Naim's own SUPERNAIT 3 offers an integrated alternative combining preamplification and power amplification within one chassis for buyers wanting a more consolidated solution instead.
