Elite Classic reviewed and in Australia
Neat Acoustics - Elite Classic at Audio Genesis
The Neat Acoustics Elite Classic arrived in Australia and was reviewed by AVForums, receiving an overall score of 9/10, and received the “Best Buy” award.
Like the Petite Classic, the new version of the Elite retains the outer dimensions of the original model, but with updated drive units and a completely redesigned crossover. Designed to work well in smaller listening spaces, this latest design brings a full-range performance without dominating the living room.
The bass-mid driver is the latest version of Neat’s own R3 doped paper cone unit, the same as used in the flagship Ultimatum range, and the tweeter is the remarkable AMT (Air Motion Transformer) from the Petite.
These superb drive units are seamlessly blended by a minimalist crossover using carefully chosen components of the highest quality.
The staggered port tuning contributes to the clean, defined and rhythmic bass response. Along with superlative treble performance from the Air Motion Transformer tweeter, the Elite combines all the usual Neat trademarks of clarity, musical engagement and a convincing soundstage in a compact and elegant cabinet.
Reviews are only one part of the hi-fi journey. We recommend visiting us to audition and listen to the Neat Acoustics Classic series for yourself. The Elite Classic is currently set up in our listening room with a Naim Audio Uniti Nova.
