Anybody tried the Vito's?

Hi everyone.
I am looking for some new speakers.
Has anyone noticed or listened to the new Neat Vito? They look pretty neat as floorstanders go. I would expect them to work quite well with suitable Naim front-end kit. Some opinions would be gratefully received.
I would be using them with a CDi, '82 with 2xHi-caps, 250 and bi-wired NACA5 speaker cable.
Currently I use Heybrook Sextet 2's plus Epos ES11's (on Epos stands)in parallel!
By the way, Ive tried various other speakers including SBL's, Dynaudio's and ES22's but none impressed sufficiently to replace the existing setup - the Dyn's came very close though!

Hi.
I haven't heard the Vitos (no dealers nearby) but I can add my enthusiastic recommendation for the company and the sound - I use Neat Petite III with the Gravitas subs, which give Kan-like speed with isobaric bass and incredibly potent dynamics, but best of all they are so smooth and refined when they have to be. If the Vitos build on this superb foundation, they will be stupendous speakers.

PS. To get where I'm coming from, they don;t sound like Kans but have the best characteristics of those speakers without the drawbacks, and are a better speaker for it (by far!)
PPS. You'll need at least a 250 to get the best out of Petites... I use a pair of 200w monoblocks as these beasties LOVE to be spanked hard...
