We have acquired a number of pairs of @neatacoustics #minestra in oak and one pair in walnut all sealed with full warranty rrp 2199 selling at 1499 marked as c2 ( but they aren’t 2nds) @midlandaudiox #belbroughton #worcestershire
Compared with the obvious alternative of paying around the median used ask of £1,331, this at £1,499 is a touch rich rather than a steal, but still within the upper-middle band of the market. It sits above the 75th percentile of £1,723? Wait — the ground truth says the 75th percentile is £1,723, so this asking price is below that level and only modestly above the median, which makes it fair to slightly ambitious, not overpriced.
These are respected speakers for delivering a refined, spacious presentation with real musicality rather than hi-fi fireworks, so a clean pair can be very rewarding at the right price. If the condition is genuinely good and it’s complete with whatever original accessories matter, this looks like a sensible buy for someone who wants the model without waiting for a bargain listing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Neat Acoustics traces its roots to 1989, when musician Bob Surgeoner founded the company in northern England, drawing inspiration from his lifelong passion for genres like blues, rock, jazz, and folk. Originally named North Eastern Audio Traders—hence the acronym NEAT—the brand emerged from Surgeoner's retail background in County Durham and has since operated from Teesdale, handcrafting speakers for over three decades with a focus on musical authenticity.
The company specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, renowned for compact, innovative designs that punch well above their size. Neat employs distinctive isobaric configurations—rare among British makers—alongside precision-tuned cabinets and bass reflex ports to deliver balanced, enveloping sound with rich bass, harmonic highs, and subtle details. Models range from diminutive standmounts like the Petite Classic to ambitious floorstanders such as the Mystique, all finished in real wood veneers and built to prioritize the essence of music over mere specifications.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Neat Acoustics earns acclaim among audiophiles for sonic excellence and craftsmanship, offering ultimate musical reproduction regardless of scale or price. Tuned by musicians and distributed worldwide, its speakers stand as a boutique choice for discerning buyers seeking pure, exciting fidelity that transcends conventional measurements.
