NHT Model Bookshelf Speakers

BaggedLancer

NHT Model 1A Bookshelf Speakers. For some strange reason these exist no where on the NHT site under vintage or anything and after asking a few members of the forum they think they are an early version of the 1.3 or 1.5 that NHT currently sells. These speakers have brand new complete(not refoam) replacement woofers that were purchased through Goodwins High End in Waltham, MA.

That being said, here are the specs from the NHT site for the 1.5's:

Model 1 Specifications:
· System Type: 2-way, 10-liter acoustic suspension design, Focused Image Geometry
· Driver Complement: 6.5” long-throw polypropylene woofer, 1” fluid-cooled aluminum dome tweeter
· Crossover: 3.3KHz, 12dB/octave high-pass and low-pass
· Impedance: 8 ohms nominal, 6.2 ohms minimum
· Recommended Amplifier Power: 20W/ch minimum, 150W/ch maximum
· Inputs: 5-way binding posts
· Finish: High Gloss White

I am going to rate these at 8/10 but I'm being very conservative.....there is not a scratch on these with only the slightest wear on the corners. These sound awesome and it was my first experience with NHT speakers, nice quality stuff. These blow my 7's out of the water, hands down.


SOLD TO BAGGEDLANCER

It's a Model 1 w/ a crossover revision. The rest certainly came from its roots Great bookshelf speaker. New woofers? Hell yea.

Thanks for the offer dipiazza, going to hold off on a trade for now.

I think another couple days of listening to these and I might sell them back to myself

BaggedLancer

Guys, just resold these back to myself for a discount. I redid the grills today cause the white grill was irritating me. I think they came out looking nice. I am going to keep them and use them! I like them too much!

Black??!! Damn Bagged, with those pretty white cabinets you could have chosen some REAL cool color combos. Hot pink, chartreuse, yellow, midnight blue, burgundy .

Probably a good move to keep em if you like em. That is usually my problem. I buy something at the yard sale cause I know I can sell for more than I paid but then I don't want to get rid of it. Problem I have right now with the Naim preamp and amp I have. I'm not using it and I should sell but its too nice...

I dunno why I chose black to be honest......I think Grabber Green would have been a better color......NOT.

But yea, I figure with the black I can put them on a nice set of black stands and the constrast will look good......maybe.

I dunno, but I am putting my 7's with those nice stands up for sale if you are interested.

r u still selling these babies? i just bought a pair i thought you were the person i was buying them from guy had them on craigslist and lived in boston also, i can use yours for th fronts and his for the rears just need a sub and a center new, any idea? also will be planning on using a AV receiver not gonna go seperate dont have that much room, oh and if your selling can you throw in both grills and if not where can i get white grills done or can i send you minds and you make mines white also fyi i have white walls and a white av cabinet, lol

graco1

under careful examination i think you painted the grills, i thought you had gotten some cloth and redone them my bad then i think all i need is some white spray paint and i will be good just tell me the specifices and techniiques

BaggedLancer

Nope, these are gone. sold tem to someone in boston.

graco1

lol, maybe thats the guy i brought them from, cause he said they have a black grill also and they shoulda come with a white grill, boy this is a small world, but what center channel should i pair this with if you had a choice?

BaggedLancer

Whichever sounds good to you. I didn't use those speakers in a home theater setup. I used them for 2ch. $75 is a steal for those speakers.
