The Naim NAP 300 power amplifier adopts the unique two-box format of its older brother, the NAP 500: one box contains the amplification circuitry, while another – the 300 PS – houses the power supply components. The NAP 300 power amplifier combines all the innovations pioneered by its siblings. The brand-new, high-caliber Naim Audio NA009 transistors created for the 500 Series are also included.
The Naim NAP 300 is capable of continuous output into 2 ohms with no appreciable performance degradation and provides 90W per channel into 8 ohms. The outcome is a tone with excellent purity and tremendous force.

Highlights
- Our flagship Statement amplification system was ten years in the making.
- We’ve recently introduced two new technologies from the Statement project to our core range of power amplifiers.
- The NAP 300 now features the new NA009 transistors first introduced in Statement.
- In development for over a year, this key component was created in partnership with a specialist semiconductor manufacturer to achieve the best possible sound quality.
- The 300 also includes the high-power Naim Audio DR (Discrete Regulator) technology used in Statement to provide the smooth, stable power supply we know is critical for audio electronics to make music come to life.
- 90W per channel output into an 8-ohm load is possible; extended output into a 2-ohm load has no appreciable performance impact.
- Two-box arrangement (300 PS power supply included) cuts down on electromagnetic interference
- Power amplifier flagship Statement NAP S1 uses high-power Naim Audio DR (Discrete Regulator) technology and NA009 output transistors.

Design
The NAP 300 is a stereo two-chassis amplifier, with the power supply housed in the second box and the audio amplifier in the first. A completely new circuit architecture constructed on a very high-quality, the anti-resonance main audio circuit board has been made possible by improved earthing arrangements. The Statement NAP S1’s NA009 transistors, which were specially created for the NAP 300, are also used in the NAP 300. These exceptional components eliminate the requirement for parallel pairs of transistors by each delivering up to 350 watts and 80 Amps.
Sound Quality
The excellent components used in the NAP 300 DR can deliver up to 80 Amps and 350 Watts, eliminating the requirement for parallel pairs of transistors (which always has a negative effect on sound). The delicate internal components are shielded from resonance and microphonic vibration by resonance-controlling, anti-vibration feet. The NAP 300 DR is now capable of producing even more of the essential musical speed, rhythm, and timing that made the originals so well-liked by music listeners. This is because of new innovations from Naim Statement paired with other minor layout and componentry enhancements.
