Naim amps don't have a Zobel in the output stage so they are very sensitive to capacitance. A high capacitance cable could blow the output transistors. That is why Naim speaker cables are a spaced parallel wire, high impedance/low capacitance design. The only cable of this type that I am aware of is Acoustic Research cable (see link). Aside from the spacing, this is you basic parallel stranded OFC Monster Cable, and IMO, nothing to get excited about, but the price is right.

There are probably other parallel and flat cables that would be appropriate, but due to the danger of trashing the amp, I would prefer someone with more knowledge, specific to Niam, answer.
