Relatively fast sound from NAIM should have a good rhythm. Neat is not the usual politely sounding ...
Thanks, I'll visit the dealer and try them.
Just my thought: New romance like DM, OMD...etc are relatively easier to get better sound than Britpops, electronics are seldom 拆聲. But British guitar especially those with distortion effects are aleady 拆, poor equipment cause 拆上拆... dunno how to describe...
You could visit Radar Showroom at I Square TST with NAIM Super Nait may be matching with Neat Momentum or Elite SX depends on your budget. Many years ago heard that Kate Bush also use full set of NAIM system. Alternatively NAIM Super NAIT + Kudos C1. Kudos sounds similar to Neat as the designer is one of the founder of Neat. Kudos is a bit cheaper and now carried by the AV Hospital in Mongkok which may have some discount as I reckon the company fail to sell the Kudos successfully in Hong Kong. The problem is you cannot listen to NAIM + Kudos in Hong Kong.
You could also consider buying a speaker from overseas, of course UK. An example is this PMC 22 speaker, very good condition. See the details:
PMC has been used by many pop stars (such as Robin Williams, Brian May I guess and many...) and studios. Suggest you to listen in Hong Kong first and compare the price. I guess it should be cheaper buying from this shop. Personally I am not a big fan of studio background speaker such as ATC, PMC, ADAM..... but you could try.
This shop Signals in Ipswich is reliable where they accept overseas orders. For overseas order there will be a 20% discount for ex VAT. You could take advantage of the recent GBP weakness now GBP1 = HK$11.5 against GBP1 = HK$12.3 in Chinese New Year. They also sell NAIM, so you could simply seek advice from him on the matching with NAIM.

Thanks for the very detailed introductions, I'll go to try Neat & Kudos. What do you think about the floor-standings of these two brands? I'd prefer the floor-standings because my listening area is quite challenging, around 2xx sq. feet can be fully used. And how about the power of the amp if Naim is chosen ? As a glance, supernait seems fit.

Given you have 200 sq ft, you could consider floorstanding speaker such as Neat Momentum 4i. Better ask Radar HiFi whether they have the demo of Momentum 4i in Causeway Bay or I Square. Not sure about the Kudos but thought that I saw it in AV Hospital.
