5 av 5 stjerner i WHAT HI FI
When it comes to sound, the SX2s are truly reflective of their smaller stature – in absolute terms, the sound from them is impressive, but not immense.
Yet the sound is still big enough *– and takes us by surprise to an extent.
Close your eyes and you wouldn’t be able to tell that the sound was coming from a unit less than one-metre tall.
Use the NEATs in a small or medium-sized room and you will be taken aback.
The greatest strength of the SX2s is their liveliness. Punchy dynamics and precise timing work together to make the performance very expressive.
The sense of enthusiasm is infectious. These speakers want you to have a good time, and it doesn’t take long before we are merrily tapping our feet along to the music.
Other models at the price offer more detail and subtlety, not to mention greater scale and deeper bass, but you’ll be having too much fun with the NEATs to care.
They are hugely entertaining: these speakers won’t blow the roof off, but they will bring a smile to your face.
