New Neat Iota Xplorer speakers
Posted by: Yetizone on 06 October 2017
New speakers from Neat Acoustics to add to their expanding Iota family. They look like they could have potential! I’m only recently new to the Neat Iota party and was quite (very) impressed at the sheer scale of sound coming from such tiny boxes when I recently heard them, so this new addition to the range looks promising. Quite large in comparison to the rest of the range - A pumped Iota Alpha on steroids - woof (er) ! Dimensions are 74cm including spikes. Width 30cm, depth 22cm. From their Facebook feed...
"Introducing the Iota XPLORER!
We've taken the concept of the groundbreaking Iota ALPHA loudspeaker to a new level with this intriguing additional model to the Iota range. The Iota Xplorer uses the same basic configuration as the Alpha, in an enlarged form.
An AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter, here employed for the first time in a Neat loudspeaker, delivers an uncompressed, musical performance and offers excellent integration with Neat's own main drive unit.
The lower, ported, section of the Xplorer houses not one, but two of Neat's P1-R2 bass drive units in a sealed iso-baric arrangement, acting as an integral subwoofer system.
Combining these elements ensures that the Iota Xplorer delivers a compelling portrayal of all types of music. Like the Alpha, the Xplorer belies its small stature with a full-range agile presentation and huge soundstage, which projects far beyond the modest confines of the cabinet.
Shipping will commence in late November. Pricing TBC."

I think so. Sonically and very stylish too. I can't be bothered with the faff of linking personal photo's here, go to the Naim Audio facebook group if you'd like to see.
