Mystique Classic

The Mystique reveals the quiet power of music. It plays with depth and composure, filling the room with a sound that feels spacious yet intimately connected. Subtle details emerge naturally, and the flow of rhythm and harmony feels effortless and complete. At its heart lies a carefully tuned two-way design that builds on Neat’s long tradition of musical balance.

Every element — from the cabinet proportions to the crossover and drivers — is refined through countless hours of listening. The result is a loudspeaker that carries weight and grace in equal measure. Hand-built in the north of England, the Mystique brings a rare sense of realism and scale to every recording. It doesn’t draw attention to itself; it simply lets the music breathe.

FAQs

Running in

All loudspeakers need time to settle. You will hear a change after around 30 hours of normal  listening, though some models take up to 200 hours to reach full performance. Avoid making final  placement decisions until the speakers are fully run in.

Positioning

Take your time with placement. Move the speakers a few centimetres at a time until you achieve the  right balance in the room. Placing the speakers closer to the rear wall will increase bass output.  Pulling them forward usually improves openness and clarity. Avoid corners as they tend to  exaggerate bass and produce a heavy or boomy character

Rear ports

A rear-firing port does not prevent a speaker from working close to a wall. Low frequencies radiate in  all directions rather than as a narrow beam, so a rear port does not materially alter the basic  placement rules.

Stands for standmount speakers

Non-floorstanding designs need proper supports. A stable, well-made stand of around 60cm will  usually align the tweeter with ear level. The quality of the stand has a major influence on  performance, so choose the best you reasonably can. Your dealer can advise.

Floorstanding models

Ensure the speakers are level and properly supported. Use the supplied spikes on carpet or  adjustable feet on hard floors. After-market isolation products from IsoAcoustics, SoundCare or Stack  Audio can provide worthwhile improvements. 

Cables and connections

The loudspeaker will only perform to the standard of the signal reaching it. Use good-quality cables,  correctly terminated with soldered or crimped 4mm plugs to ensure a reliable connection. Some  amplifiers require particular cable characteristics. Your dealer will advise.

Amplifier matching

The most important factor is that you enjoy the sound. That said, we have had consistently strong  results with integrated amplifiers from the following manufacturers. This list is not exhaustive and  should not replace a proper demonstration.
