Bainbridge Island Bliss: High-Quality Home Audio System Brings Music to Life

Today we finished a beautiful listening system for a new customer on Bainbridge Island. Rick came into our showroom for a completely unrelated TV problem that we were able to help him with. He had a few minutes to spare, so just for fun, we decided to spend a few minutes listening to some music through our new Naim Unity Nova and a pair of Focal Speakers.

I could tell he was taken back with a level of musical presence that he had never previously experienced with a home audio system. He immediately invited us out to check out his room to see what might be possible.

A couple days later Adam and I drove out early before work and met with him. His room is obviously beautiful and the acoustics are actually very good. We all three came up with a plan. I traded in his older KEF speakers and now he owns a level of musical presentation that complements his view.

Thank you Sir for allowing us to do our thing. So much fun working with you. We hope you and your family love it.

Elevate Your Home Audio Experience with Naim Audio – MU-SO 2nd Generation

Hey there, fellow audiophiles! Jim Lee here, and I’m beyond excited to share with you the latest addition to our lineup: the Naim MU-SO 2nd Generation.

This remarkable piece of technology marks the first collaboration between Focal Speakers and Naim Audio since their merger, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.

Picture this: I recently upgraded my small living room with a Samsung Frame TV, enchanted by its ability to seamlessly display artwork when not in use. But alas, the sound from the TV itself fell flat. That’s where the MU-SO 2nd Generation swooped in to save the day, delivering unparalleled sound quality to complement my video setup.

What sets the MU-SO 2 apart? Let’s start with its multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP), boasting a whopping 2000 MIPS for exceptional performance. With a new limiter algorithm in place, even at high volume levels, the clarity of your music remains intact, ensuring both a pleasurable listening experience and long-term reliability. Plus, with six individual speaker components driven by six individual 75-watt amplifiers, every note and beat is rendered with precision.

And let’s not forget about its stunning design. The MU-SO 2 exudes elegance, with a choice of three finishes and optional replacement front speaker grills to seamlessly integrate into your decor.

Setting up the MU-SO 2 couldn’t be easier – it’s truly plug and play. Need proof? Check out this video link demonstrating the simple setup process: MU-SO 2 Setup Video

And with a handheld remote included, controlling your audio experience is a breeze. For even more versatility, utilize the free Focal Naim application to access radio stations or explore the world of hi-resolution music streaming providers – all wirelessly or via the built-in concealed Ethernet port.

In essence, Naim and Focal have hit a hole in one with the MU-SO 2nd Generation. But don’t just take my word for it – I invite you to visit our showroom and experience this remarkable accomplishment for yourself.

Elevate your home audio experience with the Naim MU-SO 2. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
