Neat Acoustics Motive SX 1

Neat Acoustics Motive SX1 - in American walnut

PRICE DROP

These beautiful speakers run synergistically with Naim - from what I gather, they are tested with Naim amplification.

Let's face it, most speaker reviews will be positive with reviewers talking about how incredible the soundstaging or vocals sound (with the exception of a select few)

However, if you look for Neat loudspeaker reviews, they mention a connection that develops with the speaker and music

Incredibly musical and punch way above their modest size and are rarely available on the second hand market

I love Neat so much that the upgrade was via steronet to a pair of Neat Extras which I am running with a Naim system.

They are in very good condition (about six years old and I am the first owner) - there is a small chip at the top of the right speaker (pictured)

I hope the next buyer enjoys them as much as I have.

The Neat is a fantastically accomplished all-rounder that will do justice to a wide variety of music and should work well with any amplification that delivers the required current and drive. Combine this with the rather handsome aesthetics and impressive build quality and you have a speaker that is right in the top performers at the price point, and one that should be added to any shortlist of speakers

LIKE: Lively and engaging sound; excellent tonality; solid build
DISLIKE: Works best on a solid floor and needs capable amplification
WE SAY: A superb revision to an already capable speaker
