earlcole Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 I came across a pair of Naim Credo speakers in a second hand shop. At first I did not not what I was looking at with four separate cabinets (Bass drivers and tweeters in separate boxes) and an unusual external crossover box on the tweeter cabinets. I had heard of Naim but initially could not locate the model number/name. The model was written on the top of the tweeter cabinet and obscured when the bass cabinet is placed on top. The walnut veneer cabinets were in pretty good nick but one of the bass drivers was missing its phase plug and one of the tweeter domes had been pushed in (later extracted with a few resultant dimples). The front grills were also missing. I took the punt and brought them home. Fortunately they work and are very pleasant to listen to. I really cant tell any discernible sonic difference between the driver with the phase plug and the one without. Should I bother trying to track down a second hand Naim Phase plug (perhaps aesthetics more than sound) and if I cant find an original one is it advisable to buy after market ones and where could I get them from?
