Title says it all. These speakers are wonderful, classic NHT sound. Great detail, nice bass extension, and very tight and coherent across the entire spectrum. I am listening to some Sarah Jarosz on these powered by an 80 wpc NAD 317 and they just sound really nice. Why I am selling them? Because I found a great deal on a pair of Lsi7s, and my wife won't let me hoard speakers :cry: These do some things better than the Lsis, particularly the tightness of the upper bass and midbass, and the overall coherence.

These are in excellent condition. The grills have no snags and all tabs are intact making them fit nice a snug. The beautiful high gloss finish has no dings, dents, gouges or even deeper than hairline surface scratches. I don't have my camera at work and I won't be back until Monday, but if you want pics I can get some then. But based on feedback trust me that these are a solid 8/10 on the audiogon scale. They look just like this:

    NHT does bookshelves well. My bedroom setup features a pair of 1.3A's that I'm very fond of.

    Good luck with your sale.

    I either need to get these to replace my 1C's or sell the entire system. Give me a day to think about it? Unless deronb is in line ahead of me of course.

    I have owned the superzeros and superones, and these are the sweetest by far. Great detail, good bass extension for a smaller bookshelf, and really tight natural bass. You know you wanna try em!!!

    No one has contacted me about purchasing, so at this point there is no line. First come first served!

    What the heck. Replacing the 1C's with these will make the wife happy. These could be back for sale soon though because I still may decide to get rid of the entire system in my gameroom.

    Guess what I found on my doorstep today?

    A very nice looking pair of bookshelf speakers that were packed to handle whatever Fed Ex could dish out.

    Got them hooked up and they sound pretty good. Nothing like the 1C's their replacing, but they'll be a much better fit for the gameroom and my listening habits in the gameroom.

    Thanks Paul for another great transaction!!

    Glad u got em! I can imagine that they do not compare with the bass extension and huge sound stage of the sdas, but i also love the nht sound. Hope you're happy with them Paul!

    thanks again!
