Description :
Naim Audio Integrated Box Loudspeaker or NA-IBL, for short. The IBL is, by far, one of the most controversial designs in the history of Naim Audio loudspeakers. Slightly underrated during production, these speakers have quickly become a "cult" among flat earth audiophiles and Naimophiles in general. The Naim Audio IBL is a diminutive floorstanding tower, designed by Roy George of Naim back in 1987. The IBL is an acoustic suspension design which makes use of two separated enclosures for the woofer acoustic load. This way the acoustic impedance seen by the woofer membrane behaves linearly and hence the woofer motion can be easily (more) controlled.
These tiny floorstanders show an excellent timing and coherence. Piano and voices, in particular, are reproduced with a sense of realism and presence that is simply astonishing. The natural reproduction of strings and cymbals as well, appears always sparkly and metallic. In the microdynamics department, the IBLs are simply stunning. The anti-vibration treatment applied to the drivers and to the cabinet allows the loudspeaker to reveal any tiny variation in the musical program.
The IBLs may become a real reference in small rooms. If you can live with the bass limitations of a mini-monitor but feel the need for a more complete loudspeaker, the IBL may be a candidate to evaluate very carefully.
