I think you have to keep an eye on Neat.
What didn’t you like about the ATC?
Almost everything. Not heard an ATC speaker I’ve enjoyed listening to…

That sounds perfect. Walnut and black is a great combination. Enough contrast but not too much. I’m so pleased your search has been successful. There is life beyond Kelidhs!

Well done @QuickSticks. Speakers will look wonderful in black and walnut. I am sure they are a big improvement on Linn Kelidhs. I had the Kelidhs and really liked them, a very musical speaker.
But things have moved on alot since then with speaker technology. Glad you have found what you were looking for ! Can’t wait to see your new speakers set up in walnut.
Congratulations!

I find ATCs very neutral sounding. They are good speakers. Never fancied buying them though.

Nice to see another K6 owner! And you have the IsoAcoustics feet which make a huge impact in my system.

Hi Jurgen, thanks for the reply and the photo. I am currently using Furutech e-TP60E NCF power distributor. I might upgrade to the TP609 NCF in the future, so your impression is valuable to me

Nice speakers looks like the same drivers in my Orkestras.

I believe they are😉
Tony brought the Orkestra’s with him, but they never came out of the boxes. They would have thrown far too much Bass energy into the space, which would have presented us with the same problems as the ill feted Dynaudio Evoke 50’s.
I think with the changes that will be coming in the next couple of months, the Majistra’s will bring a very pleasing end to my replacement speaker search. 
I will explain the aforementioned changes soon😉

Mine are only set up temporarily and on a carpeted floor which sucks up a bit of bass. I’m thinking of putting a piece of timber under them (when I get the energy). At the moment the bass is quite subtle but present.
Neat make great speakers.

First night for my Muso Mk1 replacement.
Set up didn’t go well until I updated the Unit, but since then this Cambridge Evo One is going great guns.

Well yes they do Pete
I see they have discontinued the Neat Motive range , thought that might happen, it was getting a bit crowded with the classic petite, elite range coming out which are better anyway
I’m resting my ultimatum XLS’s down south currently and trying out pair of petite classics as the space is rather small and the XLS’s give out heaps of base, I think bit too much
You can never have too much (controlled) bass.

Interesting choice - would be interested to learn why you went to the Cambridge and not to the Mk2! Thanks!
It’s been interesting following your new speaker journey. You have an exceptionally helpful dealer. Those Majistras look so right in your room. They’ll look even better in walnut, that’s a great choice. I hope they’re outperforming the Keilidhs too. Exciting times. What’s the lead time for Neats and stands?

The Muso was nearly 9 years old and having recently moved we had too many sound systems for the house.
I decided to move on the TV soundbar and use the Muso but it wasn’t great for that purpose. I listened to Muso 2, Ruark R410, Kef LSX, PSB Alpha IQ…but then this CA Evo One came out. Eventually I got to hear one and was impressed with its sound quality and functions.
We really like the style and my partner last night actually said it was easy to use and sounded good.
The screen is great.
If the Muso ever morphs to be Uniti (with screen) like then that could be a winner.

We shall see, but I believe the speakers won’t take long. Not sure regarding the stands, as we have to find a source first. I’ll be speaking to Tony on Tuesday I think.
Great to see another Neat convert join the forum, as has been said before the Naim Neat combination does have a certain synergy it was rumoured that Neat used Naim amplification when testing their speakers which may have something to do with this.
Enjoy your new speakers
