I'm selling this lovely pair of Credos for a friend. These have all the classic Naim virtues and they're quite easy to drive. Original price was around the $4K mark.

 

They're a very well looked after pair in beautiful original condition.

 

I have the original spikes too.

 

PM me with any questions...

Interesting design. The woofer is housed in the small cabinet but tweeter is in much larger box. And it seems they are completely seperated.

OK it appears the phase plugs are missing from the woofers, but I should be able to hunt them down.

 

Also I'm open to offers, my friend suggested $1500 but I'm not sure what these are going for

Some cleaver design tricks. Looks like it uses the popular Scanspeak D2008/8511 or 12 tweeter 20mm fabric dome inverted below the woofer which points the axis upwards to the listener. The separate boxes decouple the woofer from the tweeter and the slot between acts as the bass reflex tuning vent in 360 degree manner. External crossovers to isolate the circuit from internal cabinet sound waves.

BUt why the opening & absorbent material in the bottom cabt if it only houses the tweeter??

@ rock man,both top and bottom boxes open into each other,so bottom box provides loading for bass.

This contradicts what AIM claims. If the lower box provides loading for bass, then they are not decoupled.

Decouple as in, apart from the small feet holding both sections apart, in the main physically separating the woofer cabinet surface vibration to the tweeter in not being on the same cabinet panel. Maybe the tweeter cabinet panels don't sing (vibrate) as much as the top woofer section does.

For the woofer to get proper bass extension the tweeter section box volume is still very much needed. The woofer is a very unusual shape and design and I havnt got a clue what it might be.

Also, the slot vent may save some building construction costs compared to a traditional port tube and looks neat.

Just my mostly fanciful speculation and whether these make a difference to the final sound is hard to know.

@Al.M-Bass drivers were designed by Naim and claimed to be manufactured "in house"
