Have you spoken with Harry today?
No - any news ?
Yes, I got my deposit back on the Missons and ordered the Neat Okrestraās should be here in 4 weeks. I couldnāt bring myself to buy from someone else.
Good on you Pete - loyalty goes a long way
I donāt 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 donāt 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 doesnāt.
What will you do with the Ruarks?
Thatās a shame, I was looking forward to your review of the missions.
Royds thank you, not sure donāt think Harry wants them as a trade. Theyāre extremely good speakers, Iāll see if I can find them a good home.
Yeah I was to, but Iāve heard the Neats they sound fantastic and I think Neats + Naim are a good mix.
Oops apologies
Yes Iām not sure how the missions would go with Naim
My gut feel is that might be a ābrightā combination but canāt back that up with any facts.
Yes they need a good home , they have given you many years of enjoyment
Interesting arenāt 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 itāll be 4mm rubber over concrete floor.
Need something like Linn Skeets then for the spikes , no doubt Harry will advise
Iām thinking of a concert paver or something similar. I will talk to Harry first.
