From a direct perspective, I have owned the Nait 5 and 5i and also the Neat Mystique, Elite and now Motive 1s. The Motives are awesome speakers in all regards. The Neat Mystiques were the best value of all especially if bought used. They don't have the top end finesse of the Elite or Motive but have a very seamless soundstage for a great overall musicality and do micro dynamics well though if you are into Naim the sounstaging thing will keep between the speakers for the most part anyway, it's the Naim as much as the Neats. The most suprising thing is they fill the space between the speakers as well as any speaker I have heard. All of the Neats just have a fast, seamless presentation. The Motive line is a good notch above the Mystique and Elite in my opinion but they do seem to want more power even though they are rated as being more efficient. Man, can they sound big even with a 5i. The Mystique is easy to run with a FC'd Nait 5 or a 5i based on my experience. I now use a Unico for the Motives but the Nait 5i drove them fine, I wanted more dimensionality than the Naits offer.
I also owned Katans which are natural sounding but just are not dynamic speakers no matter the amp. I would think any of the Neats would be more lively and dynamic than the Ninka's as well but I haven't compared them.
