No NEAT in New York to go with my Nait
Posted by: Emil on 29 May 2003
Im fortunate enough to have 3 Naim dealers in my area but none of them carry NEAT.
My understanding is that Naim and Neat go together like peanut butter and jelly or bangers
and mash as the Brits say. So whats the problem?
You would think one of them would carry the line.
I could always order a pair from NAIMGAME. I havent read a bad thing about the Mystiques here on the forum but did read about some members having issues with the tweeter on the Petites and Elites.
Just curious.

Indulge me this, however;
the Audio Physic Virgo III is the perfect speaker for someone with a Clearaudio turntable.
I am at a loss why you hang around the Naim forum though.
Urm, force of habit? Well, my amps are fundamentally flat-earth but with round-earth trimmings, and having moved from an LP12 on loads of Mana to a Clearaudio on none, I'd like to point out that nothing was planned - I just bought what was the most musical to my ears. The Clearaudio was, the Neats were and now the Virgo III is. Sure, both the deck and the Virgo can fall into either camp - stick a MF amp inbetween and you're in round earth hell, but with a decent amp - Naim and DNM are the two FE brands I've had most experience with - and you have a very capable flat-earth system but with the added attraction of the round-earth imaging and whatnot.
Why do I hang around here? Sometimes I learn things, sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it fills in a lunchhour. I also feel that for the most part the people here are into the same thing as me - the music, not the gear. Most of the time
I'm just taking a different route to get to the same goal

UPDATE
Im sure most of you have been losing sleep wondering about my search for a NEAT for my Nait Im happy to inform you that my quest is over.
Purchasing speakers without an audition is a risk so I was fortunate enough to find a used pair of Mystiques at an excellent price. ( Sorry NIAMGAME
)
To make a long story short, "onlythat's" description was right on. Its hard to believe the sound coming out of these little peckers.
The Neats are everything you guys said they were... a truly musical speaker and a perfect match for the Nait 5.
So whats next? Mana Soundbases?
