Hi folks, and welcome to this month’s article from us here at Audio T Brighton. We are happy to announce a joint Naim Audio New Classic 300 series and Proac loudspeakers week from Tues 23rd January through to Saturday 27th January 2024.

Link to the event is here - or click on the image below.

Rather than review each product individually, like we have done before in our previous blogs, we would like to invite you to visit us and hear both ranges in our Brighton Audio T store during this week. We will be demonstrating different pairings of our extensive catalogue of Naim Audio and Proac speaker products and you can let your ears decide. Our resident Naim Audio and Proac loudspeaker gurus and company representatives will be here in person on Thursday 25th & Saturday 27th of January respectively and they will be more than happy to answer questions you may have about any of the products in their ranges.

If you would like to join us during our week long event and reserve your space, please call us on 01273 609431 or email: brighton@audio-t.co.uk

To inform you of what’s on show ahead of the event, earlier Audio T blogs and links to these will be strategically placed throughout this article to enable you to gain some insight into what will be demonstration during our Naim New Classic 300 Series and Proac Loudspeaker event.

Put it in the diary...

We have waxed lyrical about Naim Audio and Proac products before and especially when they are paired together, so let’s have a look at the possibilities.

Naim 300 series system with Proac speakers

The main engine room behind this event is the Naim New Classic 300 series components, consisting of: Naim NSS 333 streamer/dac, Naim NAC 332 preamp, Naim NPX 300 power supply and last but not least, Naim NAP 350 monoblock amplifiers.

Our turntable of choice for the event will be a Linn LP12 Klimax with a Radikal 2 and Linn Ekstatik cartridge.

Naim’s class leading designs have all the powerful sonic magic needed to light-up the wonderfully natural range of Proac speakers on demonstration.

If you would like to find out more before your visit, Naim’s latest range can be seen and read about in its full glory in our recent blog Here.

Other Naim offerings here at Audio T Brighton

In our other listening area we have some more Naim products, including the current Naim 200 series: Naim NSC 222 streaming pre-amp and Naim NAP 250 power amp. For turntable joy we have our Rega Naia turntable with Rega Aphelion 2 cartridge into a Rega Aura phono stage on demonstration.

What’s on offer Tuesday 23rd January - Proac Tablette 10 Signature

Firing things off, let’s start with Proac’s baby, the Tablette 10 Signature speakers. These really do fit a quart into a pint pot sonically, and you can read more in my ramblings about the Proac Tablette 10 Signatures in our earlier blog here.

Wed 24th January - Proac Response DB1 and Proac Response D2R

Our focus on Wednesday 24th January will be two more stalwarts from the Proac range, the Response DB1 with Proac’s high quality dome tweeter and Proac Response D2R with a ribbon tweeter. The Proac Response DB1 has proven to be a popular choice at our Brighton store because of its sweet, transparent and spacious sound, whilst the Proac Response D2R offers an extremely focused and detailed sound with a different flavour owing to the ribbon tweeter and new to our shores, so to speak. It is also worth noting that the Response D2 is available with Proac’s high quality dome tweeter as an alternative if desired.

Thursday 25th January - Proac DT8

On Thursday 25th January we’ll turn our attention to the DT8, which are Proac’s entry-level floor standing loudspeakers and equipped with their quality dome tweeter and part of a 2.5 driver speaker design. The Proac DT8 deliver a substantial sound at an attractive price, so anyone looking for their first foray into floor standing speakers should have these on their audition list.

To find out more, read our Proac blog here.

We are pleased to announce that on Thursday 25th, our Naim representative, Darren Woodyatt, will be available to answer questions about any of Naim’s extensive current range of products.

Friday 26th January - Proac D30R

On the Friday 26th January we’ll turn our attention to the Proac D30R. These are our penultimate speaker for our Naim/Proac week and offer a substantial sound for a large room and respond well to our Naim New Classic 300 series monoblock power amps, the Naim NAP 350. Where bass extension and power are desirable, these need to be heard to be believed.

Saturday 27th January - Proac K3

So we finally get to the big fella! Our coup-de-gras speaker of the ProAc/Naim week is the ProAc K3 floor standing speaker. At over 40kg each, these monsters throw out a full-range sound that really needs to be heard, with detail, clarity and extension in spades!

We are privileged to have the company of our Proac representative, David Johnson, for this final day in our week long demonstration of the Naim New Classic/Proac loudspeaker exhibition. He will be more than happy to answer questions about any of the extensive Proac loudspeaker range, so make the most of being able to quiz him fully.

As always, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so get in touch to book a demonstration.

Thanks for reading.
