What's New?
NHT Introduces "The Interviews".
Conversations with people that traded their hard-earned cash for NHT
products. How they use them. Their thoughts, Impressions. Professionals
and non-professional users, just like you, from around the world. We
start our new series from London, England with Steve Parr.
Byrne Buys Back NHT
Chris Byrne, who co-founded NHT in 1986, has bought back the brand with
two partners from its most recent owner, Vinci Group.
NHT Ready To Roll Again
Benicia, Calif. — Home audio supplier NHT has new owners, and one of
them is the industry veteran who co-founded the company in 1986 and stayed
at NHT’s helm during all but three of the brand’s 22 years in
existence.
NHT Acquires NHT!
January 31, 2008 — When last we heard business news from NHT, it had
been acquired by Vinci Labs in 2006. Today, NHT managing director Chris Byrne
told Stereophile, "We are sitting down right now and signing the papers
to purchase NHT, Inc. from Vinci Labs, creating NHT Audio, LLC."

"As I see it, whether listeners are spending $800 or $80,000 on
a new pair of loudspeakers, they want the same thing - namely, to get
as close as possible to the heart and soul of the music. No other affordable
bookshelf speaker I've heard does a better job of that than NHT's Classic
Threes."
NHT Classic Three; TAS 169; February 2007
The clarity of the NHT Verve IV impressed us from the get-go. Most
small speakers sound small--you can hear them struggling to belt out
home theater thrills--but the Verve had the sonic gravitas of a larger
system.

"Our competitors wish Steve Guttenberg would tone down his unbridled
enthusiasm for CLASSIC speakers and NHT's electronic components, but
we think it's just peachy.
"Jazz fans love Jazz Times, the premier magazine catering lovers
of America's classical music. And it's no surprise that Jazz Times loves
the amazing sound of NHT Xd."
"It wouldn't polite for us to call our CLASSIC system the Product
of the Year, so we let The Perfect Vision do it for us."
"For desktop use, the NHT M-00 and
S-00 easily outperform most multimedia speakers on the market. And they
don't do it at an inflated price. "

Leaders of the Pack?
In recent years, NHT (the acronym stands for Now Hear This) has made waves
with its excellent but expensive self-powered, DSP-controlled Xd speaker
(favorably reviewed in The Absolute Sound Issue 162). Fortunately, NHT
has applied insights gleaned from the Xd development effort to create its
affordable new Classic series speakers, which are said to represent the
firm's "best effort to date in passive speaker design." To put
that claim to the test, we chose a five-channel system consisting of two
Classic Four floorstanders used as L/R mains, Classic Three C center channel,
and a pair of Classic Three stand-mount monitors used as surrounds."

we'd like to thank you on behalf of the group and
ourselves and I'm glad we passed the audition.

EM reviewer Steve Stone presents a "no nonsense"
take on NHT's PC Hi-Fi powerhouse rig.
Can a respected designer and manufacturer of high performance audio/video
products receive a little respect from the press without having to worry
about being seen as opportunistic?
Apparently, yes. Stereophile's Wes Phillips approached his visit to NHT with
a little concern as to what the brand was trying to pull. The answer? Mostly,
a good time.
NHT will travel to great lengths for a good time with friends in the
music business, and there's no better place to party with music pros than
Nashville, Tennessee.
Join NHT's Don Bassey and John Johnsen as they represent the brand at the annual
Roy Acuff Place Block Party to benefit MusiCares, an organization dedicated to
supporting professional musicians.

And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the
future."
Welcome to the future of NHT.
