Focal Naim 10th Anniversary Edition

Buy a beautifully matched Naim Audio and Focal system in one go. Made in a special, one-off tin finish, you get streamer, pre/power, PSU upgrades, speaker cable, and speakers.

To mark 10 years of the Focal and Naim partnership, the company has released a complete system in a truly unique finish. The Naim NDX 2 streaming DAC feeds the NAC 282 pre and NAP 250 DR power combo that’s complete with the power-supply upgrades featuring NAPSC and HiCap-DR. The electronics drive a pair of Focal Sopra No2 via Super Lumina speaker cables. All other necessary cables are included.

The tin anniversary is celebrated in a one-off tin finish. The Sopra No2’s side panels are in a concrete finish, and the front panel has a special metallic tin color. Even more unusual, is that Naim’s signature black boxes have been given the tin treatment too, offering a matching and very classy metal finish that’s hard to truly discern in the photos.

The Electronics

The Naim NDX 2 Network Music Player is a truly high-end streaming DAC. It is Roon Ready or works with the Focal Naim app, which is one of the best in the industry.

It pairs perfectly with the Naim NAC 282 Preamplifier which comes with the NAPSC (also in the tin finish) that is used to power the digital and control circuits. The HiCap-DR PSU, which is normally an extra purchase, is included in this bundle, again, in the tin finish.

Another perfect factory pairing, the NAC 282 connects to the Naim NAP 250 DR Power Amplifier. With 80 W of Naim’s signature high-current power output, this is a massively powerful amplifier that’s just cruising along with the sensitive Focal speakers, delivering both ease and tremendous dynamic impact when the music calls for it.

The Cables and Speakers

All of the Naim gear above ships with the necessary power cords and interconnects. In addition, the anniversary bundle comes with a 3 m pair of the Naim Super Lumina speaker cable (which retails for $4,239). These are the finishing touches to the perfectly matched and voiced pairing with the Focal Sopra No2 loudspeakers, long an Upscale Audio and Kevin Deal favorite. A true sweet spot in the Focal range, the Sopra is a three-way with a 1″ beryllium tweeter, a 6.5″ W Cone midrange, and two 7″ W Cone woofers.

Bought separately, this bundle will cost $53,433. It’s very rare to be able to buy a factory-matched ready-to-play separates system. The Focal Naim 10th Anniversary Edition gives you just one chance to do so, both at a big discount and in a finish that few other people on earth will own.
