May 2008 New distributors New distributors have been appointed for Australia, Spain and Singapore. See our distributors page to find your local Neat supplier. Momentum 3i in What Hi Fi Sound & Vision
"A fast, dynamic and massively enjoyable sound....the Momentum 3is have a deeply impressive bass performance. It is taut and punches with a ferocity you'd scarcely credit from a box that stands just 38cm high....the Momentum 3is are as musical as they come " February 2008 Bristol Show
Another successful and hugely enjoyable Bristol Sound & Vision Show ran from 22nd – 24th February 2008. This popular show attracts a wide range of trade, press, hi-fi enthusiasts and hobbyists, as well as a few normal people (below).
The Momentum 4i and Momentum 3i speakers were played to an appreciative audience, justifying the tremendous reputation they’ve established during the twelve months since they were originally previewed at last year’s Bristol show. The rest of the system comprised a Naim CDX2 cd player, Naim Supernait integrated amplifier and Funk Firm ‘Vector’ modified LP12 record player, fitted with Dynavector Te-Kaitora Rua cartridge.
Our grateful thanks to Naim Audio, The Funk Firm and Pear Audio for their support. January 2008 Neat speakers featured in a What Hi Fi? system test this month (using Naim’s entry level pre-power amps and a CD5X cd player), winning 5 stars in the context of an overall 5-star system score.
Naim Audio specifically requested Neat loudspeakers for this review and this result again confirms the widely held view that Neat and Naim are a winning combination. Of course, there are other electronics available which also give superb results when partnered with Neat loudspeakers…. September 2007 Gathering Momentum.... The Momentum 3i standmount loudspeaker has received an excellent ‘Best Buy’ review in the current (November) issue of Hi-Fi Choice magazine. This glowing review judges that the Momentum 3i is “brilliant at delivering all manner of delicate and subtle details deep down into the mix, making music much more human and believable.”
It concludes “A superbly informative and dynamic design with all the virtues of a high-class standmount, that also delivers the bass weight and authority of a floorstander. It’s a very realistic musical communicator at a very realistic price.” The Momentum 4i floorstander has also been reviewed by Hi-Fi World magazine, winning a 4-globe recommendation; “The Momentum 4is turn in an accomplished performance. They incorporate some well though-out and innovative technologies and the musical aptitude of their designer shines through in many aspects of their performance.”
“For anyone wanting a stylish, well designed and constructed floorstander with superb bass weight and an atmospheric nature, the Momentum 4is should definitely be on the audition list.”
Watch out for further Momentum reviews in Hi-Fi Plus and Hi-Fi Critic magazines over the coming weeks. August 2007 NEW NEAT DISTRIBUTOR FOR BENELUX COUNTRIES.

Naim SUPERNAIT amplifier and Neat MOTIVE 1s; a marriage made in heaven - it's official!
The first published review of Naim Audio's new Supernait amp has appeared in the June issue of Hi Fi Choice magazine. Malcolm Steward (who also wrote the very first review of the Neat Petite loudspeaker in 1991), used a pair of Motive 1 speakers to put the Supernait through its paces. He concludes that "it turned out to be a marriage made in heaven. Each product gelled with the other to form what proved to be an intensely satisfying and dynamic musical joint venture....the Supernait and the Neats seemed able to dig deeper still into the music and get to those telling, often quite deeply submerged, nuances with immeasurable dexterity." There has always been tremendous synergy between Naim electronics and Neat loudspeakers. We look forward to getting some hands-on experience with the Supernait in the near future. 2007

December - Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2007. 2005

This year’s Bristol show saw the first appearance of the long-awaited new versions of two ‘Classic’ range models.
The Petite SX (above) displayed its effortless musical ability and its high-gloss Ferrari Red finish! (Other finishes will also be available….)
The Petite’s floorstanding companion, the Elite SX was also enthusiastically received, demonstrating the benefits of additional bass weight and authority afforded by its dual-port staggered reflex tuning. Both of the new 'SX' models should be available by June/July 2008.
