Census Statistics?…. 2.5 Children?… No, this is to do with drivers in speakers and how they work together. And so to this short film…. what is a 2.5 way speaker with reference to Neat Iota Alpha speakers, the subject of this review. I’m really excited to try the excellent Hegel H120 Integrated Amp too, which will be shown off in a further film, and being a relatively new amp to market.
Please remember to subscribe to my channel if you haven’t, unlike some YouTubers I can answer all questions at present, so a perfect time to connect and ask away. Please let me know if you would like me to look at any particular products, and as I say in the film, I always welcome constructive feedback.
