Have you spoken with Harry today?

No - any news ?

Yes, I got my deposit back on the Missons and ordered the Neat Okrestraā€™s should be here in 4 weeks. I couldnā€™t bring myself to buy from someone else.

Good on you Pete - loyalty goes a long way

I donā€™t think you will be disappointed at all

What finish did you go for ?

Natural Oak, hope they sound as good as yours. I was very impressed with them when I heard them.

I think a wise choice

And with Harry you know he will take them back into stock if you donā€™t like

My experience with Neats is they need a lot of running in time ( at least 200 hours) and need to muck around with positioning

They will go well with your gear , they are getting good reviews

I was hoping he had a pair he was using in the show room, pre run in but it appears he doesnā€™t.

What will you do with the Ruarks?

Thatā€™s a shame, I was looking forward to your review of the missions.

Royds thank you, not sure donā€™t think Harry wants them as a trade. Theyā€™re extremely good speakers, Iā€™ll see if I can find them a good home.

Yeah I was to, but Iā€™ve heard the Neats they sound fantastic and I think Neats + Naim are a good mix.

Oops apologies

Yes Iā€™m not sure how the missions would go with Naim

My gut feel is that might be a ā€œbrightā€ combination but canā€™t back that up with any facts.

Yes they need a good home , they have given you many years of enjoyment

A strange speaker arrangement, two downward firing.

Interesting arenā€™t they, they sound good. The ribbon tweeters help with a bit of high frequencies issues I have these days.

Yep they will pile out the bass

What flooring/carpet do you have in your current digs?

Carpet over timber here. In the studio where they eventually will find their home itā€™ll be 4mm rubber over concrete floor.

Need something like Linn Skeets then for the spikes , no doubt Harry will advise

Iā€™m thinking of a concert paver or something similar. I will talk to Harry first.
