Hey, has anyone heard the HE-400 from a Naim Headline 2 + Naim NAPSC 2 (power supply) I'm really tempted :O
 
Or any other suggestions for HE-400? Budget 1000 euro.

If your budget is 1000 for an amp alone (if I understand correctly), then why not go for something like a Violectric V200, Yulong A18, Icon Audio HP8, Burson Soloist/Soloist SL, Schiit Mjolnir.... ?

Yeah correct.
But there is so little info about Naim, might be a hidden gem.
Violectric - too ugly, Yulong - asian brand, Burson - too clinical/boring, Schiit Mjolnir - balanced no single ends.

Why not just take your HE-400s along to a Naim dealer and get a demonstration? The Headline is reportedly very good.
 
If you're in the UK, Hi Fi Lounge sell both; they're in Bedfordshire. They definitely have the Headline on demonstration.
 
NB, the older model Headline are pretty easy to find second hand, e.g. Tom Tom Audio in the UK.

"Yulong - asian brand" - please............... Are you serious? I hope that was a joke, otherwise I'm done helping you.
