Neat Acoustics Momentum SX5i - Brand New in Box!

This ad is for a pair of brand new, sealed in box Neat Acoustics Momentum SX5i loudspeakers in a beautiful white satin finish. (Open Box Walnut Pair Also Available - Same Excellent Price!)

The Momentum 4 Model has evolved over several generations with this SX5i model being the latest version of the Momentum floor standing loudspeaker prior to being discontinued. (The Momentum Series was not directly replaced and is missed!)

Neat Acoustics has been hand crafting outstanding loudspeakers since 1989 in the Northeast of England. (Trivia: For those who may not know, NEAT actually stands for "Northeast Audio Traders") Their initial widely acclaimed success came with the original Neat Petite, Neat’s fantastic interpretation of the well known BBC LS3/5A studio monitor. More recently, many may know of Neat’s unique, ground breaking Iota Series of loudspeakers.

The Momentum series represents Neat’s unique approach to isobaric cabinet design. Few companies have been so dedicated to this approach over the past two decades. This design allows for a full range frequency response and outstanding bass in smaller packages. Ultimately this approach combined with proprietary cabinet and porting designs results in a full frequency range as well as dynamic capabilities at all listening levels. (See cross section diagram)

Perhaps Neat Acoustics’ best known feature is their commitment to pace, rhythm, attack and timing (PRAT), along with an uncanny ability to recreate correct musical timbre. Further, while they are rated with a moderate sensitivity rating, Neat speakers yield a benign (flat) impedance making them easy to drive with modest powered tube or solid state gear. The sound of SX5i’s is extremely open with a large image, deep base, and palpable 3D sound stage.

The SX5i is a medium size floor standing loudspeaker measuring 41.4 in. x 8.7 in. x 9.1 in. and weighing approximately 55 pounds (each). They are capable of significant output and can pressurize most any medium to large room given adequate power.
