The difference between the 11 Neo and 12 Classics is not just the body material. The 12 Classics uses a copper clad aluminium voice coil that makes it faster to response. It is a matter of taste, after all. While at CanJam we met people who liked the 12 Classics more but the 11 Neo had its fair share of fans!
I got 11 Neo and 12 Classics in for review a couple days ago, and totally agree with the quoted statement above. After listening to both, I PM'ed MezeTeam and commented that while the overall tuning is similar (and reminiscent of 99 Classics) the 11 Neo have a bit fuller bass and lower mids and feel more laid back whereas 12 Classics have tighter bass and definitely sound quicker. Which people prefer will depend on personal preference. Personally, I'm preferring 12 Classics so far. Nice job Meze!
