Neat Petite Classic

[What Hi-Fi?]

These tiny boxes deliver a hugely talented performance that prioritises the rhythm and cohesion of music rather than pure analysis.

They look really ugly though. I'm sure there are some who don't care but Kef have gotten to where they are by producing great looking kit as well as great sounding kit. There's no way a speaker that looks like this should get 5 stars.

I might care if I thought it looked ugly - but I think it looks more than OK.

When I had it at home for a listen, I was more concerned with the price and the fact that, at that time, it was available in plain black or white finishes only.

Unlike you, I wouldn't expect them to deduct stars, even if they thought something was ugly.

It should be about the sound - which I found to be good.

The wood finish definitely looks better than the black.

Would have gone for this finish (from the review) if it was available then.

The wood finish definitely looks better than the black.

Wood would be my finish of choice - but, under no circumstances could I bring myself to pay the extra £305 for the 'privilege'....on such a small speaker - that already costs 2 grand.

Sadly, since Derek left Neat to start producing speakers with Kudos, the quality of Neat speakers has not changed very much, IMHO
