Neat Petite Classic Review
The Petite bookshelf speaker was Neat Acoustics’ first ever loudspeaker ever produced. Bob Surgeoner started Neat in Acoustics in 1989, and over 30 years later, the Petite loudspeaker returned.
Neat Petite Classic (Satin White)
The ‘Petite Classic’ comes in precisely the exact dimensions as the original Petite, with the original’s contours, but uses the sublime drive units from the Petite 30 and a new crossover network.
As always, the component parts have been chosen with extreme care to deliver that unique NEAT sound. The tweeter is an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) device that is precise and dynamic, and the bass/midrange is handled by a Mineral filled PP-cone unit with excellent transient response and extremely low distortion. Crossover components comprise low-loss air core inductors and high-voltage polypropylene capacitors and resistors.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Petite Classic delivers astonishingly lifelike images, an exceptional midrange and stunning dynamics whilst maintaining the musical coherence and essence of the original Petite model.
The Petite Classic is available in Satin White or Textured Black finishes.
RRP: $4,000
