Designed for pure musical performance, Statement is the pinnacle of Naim Audio knowledge and engineering art. The series comprises the NAC S1 preamplifier and the NAP S1 mono power amplifiers.
origins
The idea for a completely new amplifier was first conceived by our engineers over a decade ago and development began in earnest in 2011. The goal was to set a new benchmark standard in high-end music and audio reproduction.
The result is Statement. Three years of relentless refinement, iterative design, and a blank spot that refuses to take no for an answer.
Performance First Engineering
Product engineers often start with what already exists. They might ask how something can work better or where improvements can be made. With Statement, we started with a clean sheet of paper and a vision: to create the ultimate amp.
After the initial concept stage, the engineering team put practical considerations aside and began to map the product in free space. This creative freedom was supported by 3D computer models that confirmed the optimal position for each component.
To accommodate this new layout layout, we pioneered a new vertical structure. It was the best way to minimize electromagnetic and mechanical interference and maximize thermal performance.
Duality in design
Statement's radically different aesthetic may seem like a departure from Naim Audio tradition, but it is the ultimate expression of everything we stand for.
The imposing monolithic structure with its rigid silhouette is offset by the organic sculptural flow of the heat sink and beautifully illuminated volume control and center divider. This duality in design reflects how our pursuit of technical brilliance is always grounded in the abstract human experience of music. If it's the best amp in the world in lab tests, we've only done half the job, it's in the listening room where it really counts..PZA MORE SPECS
