Please John, can you buy these now!
The 'Buy It Now' price is at least £400 less than brand new and they are unmarked and bought in February this year.
They are exactly the right colour for my living-room and I have been on the brink of hitting the button half a dozen times in the last 10 minutes since I saw them.
Someone, anyone, please remove them from my reach. Soon!

Ooooh. That ebay auction is as rare as hen's teeth. You could sell them in 12 month's time for close to that. Go on Chebby, life's too short, scratch the itch...

Ooh. Good price that. They'll get snapped up. I'd like to try some Super HL5 but if another pair of speaker (or amps (or sources)) appears at home I'm liable to chopped into little pieces...

igglebert:I think you'd be pushing your luck trying to drive some Neat Momentum 3i with a Naim Uniti!
Why?

It's a common problem, Rob. I'm building a patio at the mo so I need to be extra careful, def no purchases.

shooter69:igglebert:I think you'd be pushing your luck trying to drive some Neat Momentum 3i with a Naim Uniti!
Why?
Not enough current to control both bass units leading to overblown bass. I've not tried but I wouldn't either.

JohnDuncan:..or to describe them as titchy
Ah to big!
So you mean really small then, less than a 300mm high?

Not sure but the XS manages a peak of 13A and that's a better amp. My gut feeling is that's not enough either. I've never tried it. The other thing is that the Momentum 3i isn't very sensitive making the whole situation worse. 50W isn't a lot for a stand mounting speaker of low sensitivity that manages more bass extension than many floorstanders. Also I suspect the Nait would be too poor quality to justify the Neats.
I've never tried the combo, this is all an educated guess.

Fair comment but i don't think they should be written off, although by all accounts they have been for JD's place. As i put before the guy i bought my Mani's from was running a Naim set up of 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms and those Mani's sounded beautiful indeed and they are a b****. On paper the Neat's are an easier drive and i think in a smallish room with a quality 50 watts like the Naims they should be fine. But as with every thing the should be auditioned before hand because they might not work at all.

Actually John, if you want to try some really small speakers you could always take the Pro Sats we have in for review with you guys at the moment - active so won't be getting the most out of your Uniti but could be fun to try
(to me they get a little hard in the mid without a sub for balance but then I find that with many speakers others are happy with...)

Interesting idea, though not sure whether I have a 7m interconnect lying around...
Might be worth trying as a TV or PC bolsterer … la MM-1 though...

Height less important than width. I can cope with a bit more than 300mm high, but if they start getting wider than about 180 mill then they start to dominate the room.

Aye, feel free to give it a go, in no desperate rush to get them back

I must admit, I'm glad he's not a reviewer. We'd be waiting 6 months to find out the winner of a group test...!

The nice man from Neat just dropped off some Petite SXs because they were taking up too much space in his garage. And out of the box they're somewhat less imposing than I expected...
Mmmm...... A speaker called 'Petite' doesn't conjure up an image of great size in my mind.......

No, granted, but they're that little bit chunkier than rally tiny monitors like a DB1. Whether they'd be acceptable to Mrs D is yet to be seen...
