Neat Acoustics
Hello
I know that Kudos is very popular with Linn systems
But what about neat acoustics? I had an unexpected good surprise with the iota xplorer and linn selekt with internal amplifier.
It has isobaric system too.
Do you have experience with neat acoustics speakers ?
Thanks !

Re: Neat Acoustics
That’s what i have read too
And kudos develops isobaric too
It’s impressive the musicality from such a small speaker
Selectionning the speaker in space optimization made a dramatically good improvement too

Re: Neat Acoustics
I had some Neat motives for about 10 years with an LP12 and Naim Uniti2 in front of them and I was very pleased with the sound. I then upgraded my whole system as per my signature and ended up with Kudos 606s. I know the Neats were a fraction of the cost of the Kudos at under £2k compared with £11,800 for the Kudos but in every aspect there is/was no contest with the Kudos way out in front. The Neats were good, but the Kudos are on a different level.
I have not compared models of a similar price point so my views are a bit suspect but the build, sound everything about the Kudos to my ears were better.

Re: Neat Acoustics
Thanks a lot for your answer
Indeed the comparison is a bit difficult between 2 speakers of such different prices
Iota explorer is at 4500 pounds so perhaps a fair comparison would rather be with s20a
