Neat Motive SX1 Speakers
Although this is the taller of the two floorstanders in the Motive SX range, the SX1 is nevertheless a compact and elegant model. It will blend discreetly into any living room whilst its performance gives little away to larger and more expensive models.
This loudspeaker uses a two and half-way configuration, with the bass/midrange driver and the tweeter operating within a sealed enclosure. The sub-bass drive unit is housed separately in a reflex-tuned section below. The bass reflex port is fitted to the bottom panel of the cabinet and is vented through an outlet in the stylishly sculpted MDF plinth.
In spite of the compact dimensions, the Motive SX1 manages to accurately reproduce genuinely low bass notes with spacious and well-focused stereo imagery.
The tweeter is the new and upgraded unit used throughout the Motive SX range and features a huge screened magnet assembly and a 25mm inverted anodised aluminium dome. This type of tweeter is usually only found in more expensive high-end loudspeakers and is therefore an exceptional inclusion to the Motive SX designs.

Special thanks to Doug Brady for offering these at an affordable price.
Paired with my Audiolab 7000A integrated amp, Raspberry pi streamer/server, and are being used for playing music and TV audio.
My room is medium sized open plan lounge/dinning.
These are very natural sounding speakers with a very detailed top end that’s never over bright or harsh. The tweeter is the best I’ve ever heard.
Mid’s are tight and natural sounding with enough impact to satisfy my craze for percussion.
The bass is so deep and powerful that I don’t need my subwoofer anymore.(Remarkable for small drivers)
Some boominess is present at around the 50hz band, but I already knew my room is largely responsible for this.
Great for TV as they have a tendency to not pay attention to themselves, which is something bigger speakers don’t usually do.
As advised by Neat these speakers do need a long 200hrs run in time and need to be placed well away from room corners.
The one let down are the poor quality binding post that just wouldn’t work with my spade ends. (Neeat take note)
I’m very pleased with my purchase and the service from Doug Brady.
Hi Peter
Thanks for taking the time to leave us and the Neat SX1 speakers a review. Your review is really detailed and clear. You've done a really good job in explaining the sound of the speakers. We too, believe they are fantastic and great value too.
On the binding post, we have passed the information to a representative of Neat, and hope for production in the future that this doesn't happen again.
Again, thank you for the lovely review. Should you require any assistance, please get in touch, and we'll do our best to help you.
