Absolute Tower Speaker

As current owner of 2 NHT HT setups, I thought I'd give the new Absolute Towers a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall smoothness and openess of the these towers. The imaging is very good for a speaker of this price and the matching Absolute Center is very good for its size! The vocal dispersion is great and it really mated well with my iC2 ceiling speakers as they suggest in the packaged deals section. I already had the iC2s prior but I did not think that they would match up so nicely. Overall, if you're on a budget and you want to go "true" hi end sound, this is a great way to get your foot in the door to the NHT sound. I can't think of another setup in this price range that can compete with sound this accurate and pleasing. I would suggest a powered sub to go along with these speakers as they don't have a deep bottom end. A great budget system with rich looks and sound. Did I mention the piano gloss finish is superb!?! Totally blows the older black laminate finishes away!

I was looking for some better looking speakers to suite my wife and found these. I had some nice 10year old hifi surround speakers, and was expecting these to be as good as my set from a different manufacturer but was amazed at the quality of the sound that this set produces. I am loving re-watching movies and re-listening to them. They sound great at high and low volume, crisp and clean. I highly recommend these for a great home theater system, you wont be disappointed.

I've dreamed of having an NHT for the last 10 years. Finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Absolute Towers and I am not disappointed. Fantastic speakers with the look to match the sound. Even with my not so fantastic Home Theater in a Box receiver, everything performs wonderfully.

I generally don't write reviews. But I am making an exception this time. From the moment I opened the box, I was very pleased. The appearance and build quality are great. They would look good in any room. I coupled them with a new NHT TwoC center channel and movies came alive with clear and crisp sound. Family members were all impressed with the sound when visiting during the Holidays.

I bought the Absolute Towers and a TwoC center speaker as an upgrade for a pair of Super One speakers and a NHT center channel. Not only do I think these new speakers are a great upgrade, my wife agrees. She is certain that these speakers sound much better than the previous setup - and those comments were even unsolicited. The Absolute Towers are very crisp and clear, playing music and movies both. I do have a subwoofer in the setupl that provides the deep base - the subwoofer is not an NHT product. Appearance wise, these speakers tend to disappear bacause of the high gloss black finish. they are stable and don't seem susceptable to tipping. The sound from this setup is well dispersed - the sound fills the room, rather than seeming like it is concentrated at the speaker. I'd recommend these speakers to anyone interested in high quality sound at a reasonable price - but like another owner wrote, a powered subwoofer will add low end punch.

As a 60 year old man I have felt the thrills of owning some of the great loudspeakers offered in the past four to five decades. From Klipsch Cornerhorns, to B&K, to Mirage, to Infinities, to JSE Infinite Slope, to AR LSTs, I have enjoyed some of the best that the industry has had to offer. But, I can honestly say that NONE has given so much satisfaction for the buck as this new pair of 'Absolute Towers' that have now been a part of my music and Home Theater System for the past couple months. The musical detail alone just ten years ago was unheard of in any loudspeaker for under a couple grand! The imagery, presence and dispersion are just icing on the cake. And the absolute beauty of these Towers make it an easy choice for the wife to include in her decorating- They will pretty much blend with any decor. If it sounds like I am overjoyed at this pair of sonic beauties, it is because I am. Even if your budget allows for much more expensive loudspeakers, my suggestion is, give these babies a listen and then put your money into an upgrade somewhere else, where it may be needed. These may be the greatest speakers available for under $3000 a pair. You owe it to yourself to hear them!!!

Really NHT!.... I have numerous NHT speakers in the house here, (SB 3's, Absolute's, Classic 3's, a Super 8 Sub and even a pair of M00's for the studio to mention a few...)... I purchased these for my living room listening... WHAT!... holy cow, set aside they look awesome the audio quality for the $$.$ is outstanding!... crisp, clean and solid bass form these little towers. The balance and imaging is just out-of-sight. If you are a music listener and dig your tunes...look no further ... these are for you. Do not hesitate to get a pair, you will be amazed...Really NHT you did it again! Another quality pair of speakers from an awesome company...
