Neat Acoustic Motive 1 or Motive 2?

[gbhsi1]

I'm undecided- what do you say would be the best option for me?

Entirely room dependent. The motive 1 have the same sound with a bigger "throw"...

Havent we been here before?

Have you heard them yet?

My 1's are running in nicely now and sounding better and better, but they do sound at their best pumped up a bit (they do sing and have amazing bass depth and weight). Maybe the 2's would be better for playing at lower volumes?? I have read that the bass definition is better on the 2's.

Both 1's and 2's sound lovely. If you have a small room and dont want to listen to it loud then the 2's would be great i think.

Get along to PJ hi fi and let the lads demo them for you!

ha ha- yes we have, I do not have the chance to listen to them as my local dealers to not stock them here in Manchester. If I go for the 2's, I am worried that I will lose the bass which I currently have with my aelite 3's. But then again, my room is not that big...so 1's would be ideal! I hate making these decisions 🙂

In a small room the neat 2 have plenty bass clout. Honestly its quite shocking the bass they deliver as they are tiny.

Agreed.

I dont know what your current speakers are like but the 2's plumb the depths very nicely mate. I listened to the 2's after listening to some dali ikon 6's and they were way better on the bass front.

Will the Neat 2 fit nicely a 5x5m room or are they too small?
Do they match with Cyrus amps? Probably my Cyrus One is too small for them, isn't it? How would they perform with a Cyrus 6vs2?
Can I use them as front speakers in a future surround system?
Thanks!!!!

Motive 1, Motive 1!!!

I need to listen to both of them!
Anyone uses a pair of Motive 1 or 2 with a Cyrus amp?

I had two cyrus 6 powers biamping neat motive 2 speakers with the prevs2. It was very good if a bit bright. But that was the amplification as i kept my neats with an upgrade to bel canto and the sound was superb.
