Engineering notes

  • Naim's 2,200 W system drives 18 loudspeakers plus two Active Bass Enhance transducers bolted to the front seats, with eight DSP listening modes.
  • Midrange duty goes to nine 80 mm drivers (5 BMR and 4 advanced midrange). BMRs cover a wide band, so crossover points can sit in a less sensitive part of the range.
  • The 25 mm super tweeters are paired with four 6x9 inch bass drivers and a 6x9 inch subwoofer. Hi-fi+ reports 20 amplifier channels, 18 for loudspeakers and 2 for the seat shakers.
  • Naim's engineer advances the high frequencies from the A-pillar tweeters so the image lifts above the door-mounted mid and bass speakers.
