Naim Audio NAP V145 Mono Power Amplifier * Great for a Center Channel

"We enable our listeners to hear every single note in equal measure and transcend from audio sound to musical performance. We call this unique and emotive transmission the 'Voice of Naim'; it's our signature, our calling card." ~ Naim Audio

That is a quote which represents Naim Audio's philosophy for designing audio gear. In our testing of Naim's gear, we loved this unique voice. Naim Audio approaches system creation from the "ground" up and they address the presentation of music through every aspect of the system. Because they make speakers and electronics, they have woven their unique design into all the elements of an audiophile system and have a loyal following all around the globe. We found that the Naim design created a system synergy that delivered great sound as a 2-Channel system and as a theater environment.

The Naim Audio NAP V145 supports both kinds of systems very well, thought it is designed with powering the center channel of a home theater in mind, it also works wonderfully as a monoblock amp for a 2 channel system.

This listing is for one (1) Naim NAP V145. Original box, power cable, Naim interconnect, and manual are included.

While Naim products are generally designed to work in synergy with other Naim equipment, and work great in a Naim only system- Naim's amplifiers are a case where they are simply a high quality amp, that works well with any reasonable combination of equipment, supporting and delivering music as the musicians intended, without interference!

"The NAP V145 is our mono power amplifier for use with multichannel AV systems. It shares the circuit layout and key components of our acclaimed NAP 250 and is every bit as transparent and articulate, yet provides even greater dynamics."-Quote from Naim's website.

The NAP V145 is the top amplifier in this picture. We have sold the NAP 250-2 which is sitting below it.

While we are not Naim dealers, we are dealers of Ypsilon Electronics and we are currently selling a demo pair of these Ypsilon Aelius II monoblock amplifiers on our website. Please contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 575.535.2280 if you are in the market for an amazing pair of amplifiers.

Unfortunately we were unable to find a review of the NAP V145 directly. However the V145 is an improved version of one of the 2 channels in a NAP 250 put into the same size chassis, allowing for substantially greater performance. So this review of the NAP 250 should reflect the general character of this V145, however it is even better;

"There are many who think this amplifier’s sense of pace, rhythm and timing is unsurpassed. Some say that the NAP 250 still has that special something about it. It certainly has a sense of life and vibrancy that you just don’t hear very often; rival power amps from other manufacturers all too often sound flat, lacking in energy. They may be more powerful but there’s something about the way the 250 does it’s business that is unique."-HiFi Choice review

Naim Audio provides more information about the NAP V145 which points towards the greatness of this mono power amplifier:
"During the years of research that went into the flagship NAP 500, many technical developments came about that have been successfully applied to the NAPV 145. Based around the circuit topology of the latest NAP 250, the NAPV 145 provides even greater dynamic capabilities and enhanced audio performance, resulting in the perfect solution for high quality multi-channel or active hi end audio systems."
"Like the NAP 500, the NAPV 145 uses a new circuit design with improved earthing arrangements, built on a high quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit board. It uses the same 007 transistors that were custom-designed for the NAP 500. These outstanding components each provide up to 80 Amps and 350 Watts, negating the need to use parallel pairs of transistors (which always have a negative effect on sound). Additional 007 transistors are used in the fully regulated power supply, ensuring the best performance."
"Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet serve to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration."
"A new top-quality transformer is used providing the ability to swing a massive 400 VA on transients. Furthermore, the NAPV 145 is stable into any load and can drive a 2-Ohm load for long periods of time."
Naim equipment retains its value quite well for the audio video industry and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the BlueBook value of some of the gear we are listing has actually been rising in value over the years.

Like many items that are priced in British Pounds, the US market price fluctuates according to the exchange rate. So you may have seen different retail prices around, this amp was bought at about $7,300

This power amplifier was cared for with great respect in a smoke free and pet free home: all of this Naim equipment that we are listing for our client is in very good condition. Aesthetically, there are no noticeable flaws on this particular amp. If you would like to hear why these great pieces are for sale, we have provided our client's retirement upgrade story below.

Today, we are please to offer you this NAP V145 complete with Mains power cord, Naim interconnect, manual, and original box for $1,500.

We know that your time is valuable and we know that our listings are long, so we would like to let you know that we have now provided you with all the details of the Naim NAP v145 for sale in this listing. If you would like to continue reading on we have also provided you with some back story on how it came to pass that our client decided to part with his Naim Audio System.

Below that we share about our time at the LAAS 2017, followed by our full store policies. Whether you decide to read it all or not, thank you very much for you time and please feel free to reach out to us to explore your options with these Naim pieces or perhaps a different series of speakers and electronics (a list of the lines we carry are near the bottom of this listing, above some client photos).

We are selling this Naim gear for a client of ours who loved it and was using it for his 2 Channel environment as well as his theater. Then, during his retirement, he decided it was time to enjoy his successes in the form of an upgrade. Our client seemed to have really gotten a taste for bass somewhere along the path to retirement and so when we began discussions with him about his theater, he wanted to address the bass first. Maybe even keep his Naim system and simply add some subwoofers, perhaps to create something like the picture on the left here: As we continued our conversation with him, he became excited by the idea of having a richer surround system by including ceiling speakers as well, which you can see in the mock up on the right. This stage of the project also introduced the possibility and ultimate choice of using completely matching on-wall speakers, all around the room! This meant that the Naim speakers would no longer be used in the theater. The mock up on the right was created to work with a top of the line Marantz AV Processor, but was not the final design.

The timing for this project was excellent for we had done our first couple of Atmos 3D theater rooms for clients and we were getting very excited about the possibility of working with Trinnov to create ultimate Atmos rooms utilizing the 3D capabilities of the Trinnov Altitude 32, the only AV preamplifier to deliver 32 truly discrete channels. As our planning and design with our client progressed, he delighted in learning about all the new possibilities of the ever evolving world of home theaters. His delight coupled nicely with our budding relationship with Trinnov and because of this, our client not only benefited from our 20 plus years in the industry, but also reaped the benefits of having us hire one of the world's best 3D calibrators to assist on his project. This increased the complexity for us but also gave us a fantastic chance to learn on the job while working with Curt Hoyt, a co-owner of Trinnov, a calibrator and it turns out someone who got his start recording the Grateful Dead (I grew up on the road with Jerry Garcia and the Dead and our son toured with the band, sadly sans Jerry, as a babe in arms.) We found we have a great deal in common with Curt and delight in working with him to serve clients who want to bring in the new Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D and DTS:X sound formats. We have several projects now in the works which utilize his unique skills plus our capabilities to deliver the utmost for out clients. Working with Curt has been one of the great pleasures of the last couple years for us and we look forward to what the next jobs will hold. There's a great video online of us and Curt in a room we created at the LA Audio Show in June of 2017 with 24 channel Atmos sound, a true reference Atmos room. Please take a look at that, Peter from AVShowrooms called it "the finest theater system I have ever heard."

That said, the room we did for the owner of the Naim gear sounds even better. Of course we can do a better job in a client's home, even when it's a small room with tough acoustics like this was, because we can stay as long as necessary to get it just right and we can keep improving it and upgrading it over time. For example, Trinnov just came out with a software update which allows us to add new capabilities for the client with almost no cost! When doing a show, we only have 2 days or something to get the sound system done and then everyone is filing in to review it. We cannot ask for another day to perfect it. So we'd much rather work in a client home than at a show.

This client's 11.8.5 system definitely exceeded our ideas on how good a home theater can be. The day after we left this fine gentleman's home we visited a newly renovated IMAX theater and it paled in comparison to the theater we had just helped to create! All of the eleven ear level and eight ceiling speakers are angled perfectly to the listener and each is independently tuned for a sonic feast from every direction - and bass... this room has definitely got the bass, no question - the REL subs delivered big time. We are truly grateful to have been able to do our part in helping to create this theater. Of course, that being said, we learned from that job and if you hire us to do the next one at your home we can do even better for you!Like I said before, our client was using the Naim gear for both his 2 Channel and theater - well - this gentleman was ready for a deluxe retirement environment and did a full system upgrade to his listening room as well. This works out to be a win win situation for all of us. He has two new systems that he loves and you are now receiving the opportunity to add to and or improve your system with these excellent pieces of Naim electronics and speakers. Please feel free to reach out to us by email or by phone at 575.535.2280 to explore your options, whether these options include the Naim pieces we have listed or perhaps a different series of speakers and electronics. High End Zone is here to provide you with what works best for you.

Take a look at his current listening room: You may have seen this picture in one of our other listings and that is because our client originally upgraded his listening room to include the beautiful Lansche 5.1 speakers pictured below, but then we had the honor exhibiting at the LA Audio Show with Perfect8, where we won a Gold Show Award from AVShowrooms and also Best Sound of Show from Part Time Audiophile. Our client was able to hear, see and read reviewer impressions of the Perfect8 Point MkIII's from these publications and you can too by clicking on those links. After hearing such wonderful things he just couldn't resist, and upgraded again. We were blessed to be able to travel to his home once again, where he and his lovely wife were gracious hosts to us. The CEO of Perfect8 joined us there and we carefully installed the new speakers and packed up the old ones which had perhaps not even been entirely broken in. So we have sold his Lansche 5.1's and most of his Naim gear. We actually "lived" for a week in his storage lockers and filled up virtually an entire tractor trailer of his old audio and home theater gear which we are going through and listing. I wish we could get this done faster but we pride ourselves on a thorough job of testing everything, researching it, photographing it. We realize that whether someone is buying a $1,000 pair of speakers or a rarified $100,000 pair of speakers that it represents a large investment to the buyer and he or she should expect the same great service either way. So we aim to provide that and hope someone will be very pleased with this Naim gear. We have tested it here to be sure it performed well and there were a few items of gear the client had which we did not feel were up to snuff and so eventually we will do something like an "as is- for parts only" sale for those. For example there was a Naim player where the outputs levels were not precisely the same from left to right, obviously we couldn't sell that with the rest. But everything that is being listed now is performing perfectly and all are in really great aesthetic shape.
Please check out our other listings for even more possibilities.
We are selling and have sold most of this equipment for the original owner who cared for it lovingly in a smoke and pet free home. Here is a picture of the full compliment of Naim equipment we listed.

Currently, thanks to AugiogoN members like yourself, the items that remain from this set are:

Speakers: 1 Pair of SL2 Speakers in beautiful cherry wood veneer.

Amplifiers: (1) NAP v145 single channel amp

More shipping information and our store policies are listed below this next section where we share with you more about the High End Zone, through the lens of our two award winning rooms at the LA Audio Show 2017. Our 2 Channel room featured the Perfect8 Point loudspeakers, paired with the following Ypsilon Electronics: PST 100 MkII, DAC 100 and the Aelius II Amplifiers. We played music from the Aurender W20 and A10.

The next two links are video links of AV Showroom's coverage of our 2 Channel room which we are very honored and grateful to say was awarded a Gold Show Award as well as Best Sound of Show from Part Time Audiophile. The pairing of Perfect8 speakers and Ypsilon Electronics helped make the act of listening to music in this room very transportive, and honestly-- I had a hard time paying attention to our guests because the music kept drawing me in.

Jason Victor Serinus from Stereophile said the following in his review:

"Especially impressive was a 24/96 track of mezzo Jamie Barton singing Sibelius, where the system conveyed the huge expanse and changing dynamics of her stunning voice better than any other system I've encountered. When Barton opened her one-in-a-million, Golden Age voice to full capacity, you could literally hear it expand in the room. Wonderful." .... "It is no wonder that two of the Ypsilon products have received Class A ratings in Stereophile's recommended components."

Rafe Arnott (who was, at the time, the Editor and Creative Director for "Part-Time Audiophile" and is now the Managing Editor for 2 of Stereophile’s major properties, "Audiostream" and "Inner Fidelity") also spent some time in our room and awarded our room with an all of show award, and had the following to say in his show report:

"I’m going to start with the Best Sound which goes to a new combination of manufacturers for me (Perfect8 Technologies, Ypsilon Electronics, Aurender), which were curated by bricks-and-mortar shop owner Stefan Fuegi of The High End Zone out of Gila, New Mexico. My initial show report on this room is here, and as I wrote, this combination had soulful musicality, an ability to handle huge dynamic swings with ease, and aurally convinced with its impression of limitless headroom to the scale, depth, and impact of the sound."

Mr. Harley from The Absolute Sound, one of the most respected reviewers from one of the top publications to be sure, seemed to greatly enjoy his Ypsilon experience in the Aaudio room at the LA Audio Show 2017. In his review, he mentioned only a very small number of rooms and so being mentioned at all was an honor, certainly to have such high praise was. We already sold 4 pieces of Ypsilon in the weeks following the show, in part I believe thanks to these comments:

"Ypsilon:Aaudio Imports demonstrated a superb system of Ypsilon Electronics from Greece. The PST 100 Mk.II tube preamp ($37,000) drove a pair of Aelius II monoblocks ($39,000), fronted by Ypsilon's VPS-100 tube phonostage ($26,000) and MC26L step-up transformer ($6200). I had never looked at the Ypsilon components up-close, but they are extraordinarily built. The whole package sounded superb driving the remarkable new Wilson Benesch Resolution loudspeaker." ~Mr. Harley

Feel free to visit our website where you may listen to and watch videos of our LA Audio Show's award winning rooms, as well as other video related to Ypsilon Electronics. High End Zone and Starke Sound collaborated with an amazing team of more than 25 people from over 10 companies including Trinnov, JVC, Kaleidescape and many of the world's best AV firms to create a 27 channel Atmos home theater system that seemed to be a well received surprise for the audiophiles at the LAAS. Normally if there is a home theater demo at all at these shows, it is in some little back room and isn't very good. Not this time, we were right next to the registration desk in the largest room of the show and we rocked- hitting peaks of over 105 dB on our demos including Pacific Rim, Unbroken, Roger Waters: The Wall and several more. We had a lot of people come through, and as far as I could tell all of them had a good time.

The Gateway Ballroom exhibit won an Alfie award for the Starke Sound IW-H5 Elite wall mounted speakers which we were using eight of to form the base level surround channels. These speakers have won several awards at CEDIA and other events since LAAS and they rightfully deserve their place as an ultimate level home theater speaker! Three IC-H5 Elite Starke Sound speakers accompanied the IW-H5s as the LCRs and eight IW-H3 Be speakers were ceiling mounted. The room's bass was so thumping that some guests asked if we had put drivers under the chairs! This was accomplished through the use of six Starke Sound SUB36 subs and two almost refrigerator sized Rythmik subwoofers to fill the 50' X 50' room with 12' high ceilings with bass. The system was powered by Starke's A7 MK II amps, fed by the Trinnov Altitude 32 processor, with content from Kaleidescape's 4K Strato movie player. To help transform a hotel ballroom into a theater, we used Acoustic Sciences Corporation's TubeTraps, which also won an Alfie award, and Haikoustics panels on the walls and suspended from the trusses. The visuals in this room were handled with the help of Metra 4k HDMI cables feeding the JVC flagship projector the DLA-RS4500, projecting on a Seymour-Screen Excellence RF 160HD Enlightor 4K acoustically transparent screen measuring 160"x90". The visuals were as impressive as the 3D world created around you by the 11.8.8 Atmos system. I did the overall design of the room and specified most of the components. Curt Hoyt who is one of the owners of Trinnov who also consults with us, specifies speaker placement and does room calibrations. He knows more about 3D audio than anyone I know specified the precise speaker angles and did the calibration.

Peter Breuninger from AVShowrooms said "This is the finest theater system I have ever heard" and made a video with me and Curt talking about 3D sound. Designing for Atmos is vastly, vastly harder than designing 5.1 or 7.1 systems. The placements that worked for surround speakers in 5.1 and 7.1 do not work in Atmos. The performance you can get from an Atmos system is absolutely incredible. It is so stunning. Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D give movie makers a whole new language to work in. I can say that we screened a bunch of movies both with the Atmos sound turned on and without it before doing this show and that Atmos is a must have technology. It is the first new "must have" for home theater since the Blu Ray disc came out. But the complexity of designing the Atmos home theater makes it essential to have professional help if you want the best results for your money. We're here and available to you and Curt works with us on many of our projects so you can have us and you can have him, please get in touch if you'd like to know more about an immersive system. Here is the video which gives you some idea of what we do.

"The immersive soundfield was exceptional, and the sound was very clean, clear, and powerful throughout the audio range... As far as I can tell, the first LA Audio Show was a big success. I was glad to see one room dedicated to immersive sound, and I hope that home theater becomes an ever-increasing presence at LAAS and other audiophile confabs in the future. For this year, The High End Zone put on quite a show, and I commend the efforts of all involved!"- Scott Wilkinson, show review for AVSforum.

We aim to enhance your musical experience, please email us to meet our design team and discuss your project.

We put the "Make an Offer" option on all of our listings rather than a &"Buy it Now" button. Partly this is because we had a few rude people hit "Buy it Now" then they never got in touch or paid and it just wasted our time. Also, we really enjoy talking with our customers and we want to know that they really want the items we are selling. So what we do now is just the make offer button. We still hope and expect that this item will sell for the asking price and most likely we will not accept anything much below the asking price for a while.

The exception would be if someone proposes a package deal for multiple items. Obviously that gives us more flexibility to work with you. Of course we are honored to receive any offer and we encourage you to submit one, all will be duly considered. But if you truly want this item please think about the fact that if you submit an offer below the asking price it is entirely possible someone else submits a higher offer and the item sells before we see your message or respond, even though we strive to reply quickly.

In my experience as both a buyer and seller of this type of gear for almost 30 years making that full price offer might very well produce a more satisfying result than trying to save a couple of bucks on something special and hard to find. Yeah, it's exciting to save that extra dough, I know that for sure! But what a bummer to miss out on the deal you want by just a small amount too. So totally up to you, we try to make everyone happy though we realize it is impossible when 3 people all want the same item at the same price and the same time. We do our best.

And of course even if you do make that full price offer, we can still try to stoke you with an extra discount on other items you may need. Maybe you want to pick up a brand new Aurender music server. Maybe you want to get more cables. Maybe you need a beautiful Wilson Benesch or Tandem Statement audio rack, or you want to look at one of the many beautiful lines of speakers we sell such as Perfect8, Totem, Starke Sound, Wilson Benesch, ELAC or many others. The possibilities are endless. There are tons of buyers who have made that full price offer to grab the consignment items they want quickly then asked me for a deal on some new stuff they wanted to special order and I've been happy to give it to them! Please give us the chance to earn your business too.

For payment, we are happy to accept a cashier's check, a bank wire or PayPal. If PayPal is your preferred payment method then please add the following percentage of your purchase and shipping price to your total to cover the PayPal fees: 3% for domestic buyers or 4% for international buyers.

We are truly appreciative of responsible Audiogon members, please make sure you are one of them before you make us an offer. If you have questions concerning the gear, the terms of sale, or if you need to upgrade any of your cables, amplifiers or other items in your system, please contact us through email or by phone at 575.535.2280. We will be happy to get back with you as quickly as possible.

If you pay by PayPal then your purchase must be shipped to the PayPal shipping address only, per PayPal's rules.

We may accept a personal check from long-standing Audiogon members, but it does delay shipping for clearance. Please ask before paying that way. If you desire to pay by some other means you do not see here then please email us, we will try to accommodate you if we can.

Our items are guaranteed to work properly and be in the condition we describe. If we make a mistake, if an item does not work properly, or if the item description is inaccurate, we'll offer you a full and prompt refund or exchange at our option and issue return shipping labels at our expense.

Please check your purchases promptly upon arrival. Our policy is that any flaw, damage, missing item, incorrect item, etc. must be reported to High End Zone by email no later than 3 days (72 hours) after that item is delivered. If you are not able to check the item yourself in that time frame, please make the necessary arrangements to have someone else make such a check for you in your absence.

All sales are final with no returns or exchanges allowed unless the buyer finds a defect and reports it to High End Zone within 72 hours after delivery. In the case of items that are shipped internationally, we require that any item be picked up from Customs within 5 business days or less in order to preserve the buyer's protections for shipping damage and defective merchandise under our selling policies. If the buyer finds a defect and reports it to High End Zone by email within 72 hours after the item is delivered then High End Zone will repair, replace, or refund at our option.

So while all sales are final and there are no refunds or exchanges unless you receive a defective item and report that within 3 days as specified above, IF for some reason we do agree to accept your return or cancel your order when there is no mistake or defect on High End Zone's part, then you agree to pay us the 20% restocking fee on your order.

That said, please don't buy if you're not sure that you want the item you are buying. If you need to check with your wife, your broker, your business partner, your kids, or the Supreme Court before you buy, please do that.

Our installer is doing the Raider's new facility in Las Vegas and has done projects across North America and Central America. In most cases he can visit your home once to get everything running and after that he can take care of your system remotely so that you do not have to pay for travel on subsequent visits. Please talk with us, we offer high quality service for a fair price. Lines include, but are not limited to:

AMX

Crestron

Lutron

Sonos

Of course we can install digital assistants for you. One of our colleagues has already been testing the Apple HomePod for months and we'll have those as well as the Amazon, Google and Sonos Assistant products.

Doing these lists is always very hard because we are in process of discussion with some more very cool brands I'd love to list but haven't had time to get everything nailed down yet. And on the other hand there are some lines I left off because we just haven't had much call for them lately. But who knows, maybe tomorrow the phone starts ringing off the hook for one of those, I would certainly welcome it. So please don't be dismayed if you don't see one of the products you really want here. It's not set in stone and I bet we can get it for you and that we'd be happy to do so as long it is a quality component that we would be proud to sell. One of the advantages working with a family shop like ours is that we are flexible and will work hard to get you a system that suits you. Please give us a chance at earning your business.
Our clients certainly enjoy their home audio and video rooms. We do as well and hope you'll also take pleasure and be inspired by the variety of these beautiful installations.

Some aspects of making an informed choice in an audiophile grade listening room or a home theater system are worth a little extra effort. We invite you to contact the High End Zone for help in making your choices, we will make the extra effort worthwhile.
