Restoring a NAIM Credo
Restoring a NAIM Credo
The Naim Credo is a classic two-way floorstanding loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional pace, rhythm, and timing (PRaT). Featuring a unique separate-box cabinet construction, the Credo physically decouples the mid/bass driver box from the lower cabinet to minimize mechanical resonance and cross-talk interference. Equipped with Naim’s custom drivers—a 200mm mid/bass unit and a 19mm dome tweeter—it provides a tight, controlled bass response alongside remarkable clarity. Designed to operate passively or actively via external crossovers, it remains a favorite among hi-fi enthusiasts.
