Latest genuine client feed back April 2017

Hi Simon,  Many thanks for dropping in with the Avondale Speaker cables.

Well, I've spent some time listening to some of my favorite cds again, and The Avondale Naim SBL upgrade crossovers are truly stunning.

Anybody who owns Naim SBL or any compatible Naim speakers, owes it to themselves to have a listen,

I didn't know they could sound this good.

Since you offer a free trial in clients homes, there really is no excuse for not trying them, I am truly staggered by the opening out of the sound, and how much extra bass is heard.

Many thanks, I have to get back to re-listening to several thousand albums , I may be some time.

Cheers,

John, Warrington - Name and Address supplied. Please contact me directly if you

would like to speak to this Hamnett's Vintage Hifi Ltd client for a personal recommendation !

Not convinced ? Listen in your own home, at your convenience, with your own equipment, and your own source material.

Still not convinced? - you pay nothing.

All that is asked is your time to listen.

Just ask about the completely free no obligation trial in your own home.

Like it - buy it - Don't like it - You owe nothing. Nothing can be as fair ?

SBLCROSSOVERS


The result of many hours of exhaustive listening tests, here we’ve found a most cost effective, and efficient way to upgrade your existing Naim loudspeakers without the need to go fully active with the associated high cost and additional 'box count'.


DSC01649

These new crossover units are an upgrade dream for Naim speaker owners who wish to improve the performance of their Naim SBL or other compatible Naim Speakers. Using a minimum of effort these plug and play crossover units revolutionise the sound of the SBL or compatible Naim Speakers in minutes. Neatly addressing the weakness so evident in the SBL at a stroke, replacing the crossovers is an instant pathway to improve any Naim SBL, be it Mk one or Mark two, and the other Naim speakers that use there built to price crossovers that are deliberatly made to sound worse than active drive.

Of course to encourage you to go active and buy a Naim active cross over

- A Snaxo £1430 and Burndy £509

Super cap DR £4315k plus and another Naim 250 £3680.

This represents a bill of  £9934 Nearly £10K !

Just to go active !

Will your Naim speakers  sound TEN TIMES better?!!!!!

Than this Simple value for money upgrade at £925 ?

No! And in some areas it will not sound any way near as good!

Not convinced? - Full free demonstration and

Full Money back guarantee !



Simply connecting the AVONDALE Naim SBL upgrade crossover to your Naim Speakers in exactly the same way as you would the original crossover - takes no more than 5 minutes. All original genuine Naim connection plugs and genuine Naim speaker leads can be includes included ( Extra Cost ) - plug and play.

Or better still Genuine Avondale Leads ! ( Extra )

Now sit back and listen to the substantial improvement these upgraded crossover units provide.

 

No apologies are made when we are forced to fall back on an old well used Hifi circles clichés :


as if a veil has been lifted from in front of the speakers’


………a huge understatement !


The AVONDALE upgrade offered here is more akin to removing two thick pillows from in front of the SBL speakers !

Clarity is increased, pace, rhythm and timing is more precise. Listening tests demonstrate that more of the musical signal is reaching the drive units than the standard crossovers could ever allow. The effect is immediate.


Put simply, these AVONDALE Naim Speaker upgrade crossover units are just more musically involving than the standard product.

IMPROVED CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY


DSC01647


A no compromise design, the ultra high quality component selection and precision layout offer significant upgrades over the standard crossover unit.

DSC01642

Only the very finest, specially made to order components, are specified by AVONDALE FOR AVONDALE and have been painstakingly arranged in the best configuration for the best sound quality. Using state of the art ribbon inductors, the finest bespoke film capacitors from ANSAR, and bespoke ultra low tolerance resistors, especially made for this build. Each 30W resistor has its own individual heat sink to retain it precision value under load, and maintain reliability and power handling. These units are unique design from the desk of the well know and highly acclaimed high end audio designer Mr Les Wolstenholme of AVONDALE AUDIO, who is also famous for his legendary NCC 200 based audio amplifiers, this no compromise innovation has been carefully calculated and lovingly buit to extract every last ounce of sound quality from the Naim SBL design.

So I'm sure you are thinking, how does it compare with active Naim SBLs driven with a Naim Snaxo powered by a Naim Super cap via a Burndy ?

The major strength of this AVONDALE crossover upgrade is that it competes favorably with an active set up, bringing all the familiar active drive benefits such as greater detail, increased dynamic range and punch. whilst retaining all the passive integration and smoothness of sound often sadly lacking in the active set up. So the AVONDALE upgrade, whilst offering all these improvements also brings a seamlessly integrated and musical quality to the performance, along with the benefits of active drive.

Bi-amping using pairs of NAP250s or quads of NAP135s is simply achieved by selecting jumpers inside the casings – easy to follow details are provided.


Should you choose the ultimate cable configuration, you may run two lines of speaker cable to your SBLs whilst siting the crossover units next to your amplifiers using a very short run of cable – this represents the ultimate Bi-wire upgrade for a passive speaker set up!


DSC01660


So, in summary - AVONDALE NAIM SPEAKER UPGRADE CROSS OVER offers:

  • Enhanced dynamic contrast, with seamless frequency integration. ( try that with a SNAXO )

  • Improved Micro detail resolution.

Client information and review

 
After many months of extensive internet research into replacement NAIM SBL
passive crossovers.
I stumbled upon an image of passive cross overs for the NAIM SBL, which in my opinion
stood out, this passive crossover was an
Avondale SBL passive cross over.
To start at the beginning, I saw that they use the very best top quality components.
From the first viewing, I saw the high grade ANSAR capacitors,
and the specially made to order ultra low tolerance resistors and heat sinks,
and the very best Ribbon Inductors money can buy.
After much more reading and research , talking to the NAIM helpline and surfing the net
I opted to try the Avondale passive NAIM SBL crossovers,
and so spoke to Simon at Hamnett’s Vintage Hifi, who was most helpful down to
earth and very knowledgeable. Simon quickly sent the crossovers to me for a no obligation trial.
Once they had arrived I got them mounted onto the wall ( away from the speakers ) and
hooked myself up for a vinyl night !
The first thing that struck me with the new Avondale Cross over is how the low octaves now drop even deeper than before, and are more crisp and precise. The whole frequency range is
more musically and more truly involving - I couldn't believe it the improvement !
And this was in the first
listen ! I was thinking of at least a few weeks of running in time, but how wrong
I was, such a short time had passed, and my system was transformed.
 
I've never heard such a difference a single component change can make, with so much more
detail coming through, more than I've ever heard with the NAIM SBL.
Stereo imaging has had me wide eyed with amazement. 
I was pleased beyond words, and so immediately made the
purchase.
With a 24 hour call back helpline and a no obligation trial what's to lose ! I am sure anyone who purchases the
Avondale passive cross overs for the NAIM SBL will not regret it, even more so if partnered with Avondale Amplification and cables that I have with the system now. The perfect upgrades for my cherished Hifi.
