NHT Two

A member of the AVSForum and a dealer of NHT speakers has posted impressions of two new speakers from the Classic line, the Absolute Zero and Two. He has received one of the new Classic Ten subwoofers also.

The Absolute Zero has tonal balance that is brighter and more detailed than the SB1, with a bigger soundstage, but with a marginally warmer balance than the M5. It is very nearly the performance of the M5, but less than half the size and price. It pays a wonderful tribute to the original SuperZero. The Two offers deeper bass and output. Compared to the SB3 at the same price, it is clearly more detailed, a little lighter but tauter in the bass and, again, a bit warmer than the M5. I’d argue that the Two matches the performance of the M5 in most ways and may have a better overall tonal balance. It has more of that “fun” sound, somewhat missing on the SB2, that made the SuperOne a classic. What is most obvious is how they clearly enunciate vocals and pick up every syllable.

The impressions of the new speakers were posted at the end of the fifth page of the forum thread.
