I really like the look of the new Elite Classics and if Neat have managed to sprinkle them with magic speaker dust as they did with the Petite Classic I think they will have another winner on their hands, definitely one for the audition list when they are shipped to dealers.

Knowing what Bob and team have achieved with the Petites ( I have 30th anniversary and the Classic) one could almost guarantee these grown up brothers will be something special

Petite Anni owner here too & have to say the Elites sound like a monster version of those 
My dealer Cultured Audio have messaged saying they are now in stock… uh-oh…

Was in Cultured Audio today and yes there was a sealed box from Neat sitting in the downstairs room. Mike was just going to unpack them when I left. I’m hoping to have a listen myself once they have a few hours through them.

My Orkestra’s have been in place for a while now and just seem to get better and better. I’ve recently noticed that they’re throwing stuff out all over my room. It’s almost like a surround system setup. And the bass, it’s clean deep and well resolved there’s a start and a finish to each note. Highly recommended.

Posting an unsurprising result here but I decided to try these amazing little wonders on the SN3 and NDX2 system. Usually the Neats are on the Nova and the Kanta 2s are on the SN3.
They sound absolutely stunning. Such good bass for a small speaker and the clarity is wonderful. Now, do I move the Kantas back….?!

The introduction of a Uniti Atom to replace the UQ2 in my shed is a good excuse to blow the Neat Iota’s trumpet. The new box is driving them well with a really enjoyable sound. Really precise across the range and amazing sound from something so small!

Looking forward to maybe comparing them with my Elite SX’s in the future.

I’m betting the Kantas won’t be as cheeky or as much fun…

I’ve had the Neats in place for a week now, and they average out as overall more enjoyable, I think… meaning that poorer recordings aren’t as cruelly exposed as with the Kantas, but then the flip side is that for the astonishingly good recordings, the Neats don’t go to the lofty heights of the Kantas. The Neats will go back on the Nova at some point, but not sure when as the enjoyment continues…

Yes that’s basically the same conclusion i came to when comparing Motive SX2s with n-SATs/n-SUB. My n-SATs/n-SUB are now back in the main rig but boy the Motives were just so much fun on the end of a SN3. I very nearly kept them in, i’m certainly not letting them go just yet…

Bought some nice Motive sX2 speakers in walnut finish. After a few days of some trial and error with speaker placement/toe in, ended up with best soundquality with the Kef subw (not in use for stereo) in the right corner behind the right SX2 and both at 48,5 cm from rear wall, >40 cm from side wall, 2 meter between them and no toe in. They have a house sound being bit lean in the midbass and a bit exaggerated sub lows. I don’t find them bright but very clear in a good way. Some (crappy) recordings sound a bit tinny/empty. But the combi with Naim is good and most of all fun to listen at. The very high WAF factor is most important compared to the very ugly Naim Allaes floorstanders according to my wife

Original Motive 2s now somewhere in the region of 14 years old. They were the only speakers that worked in my tiny room (10ft x 8ft). Replaced Mystiques and have also had Elites.

Anyone pairings with Momentum SX7i and a SN3 including HiCap Dr? Thoughts?
