NHT Classic Four Surround 5.1 System

I'll start off by saying that I'm new to the true "hifi" audiophile arena having only owned "Home Theater in a Box" systems of various brands previously. They've all been of a pretty decent quality which I was happy with. That is until I got the NHT 5.1T system... First impressions were astonishing. The super high-gloss piano back lacquer finish elegantly compliments the superior rock-solid build quality of all the speakers' enclosures. This system is very visually appealing and make for a nice addition to the existing furniture in my living room. The only words that come to mind when attempting to describe the jaw-dropping sound these speakers emit are: Brilliant, Serene, Balanced and Colorful. I've been enjoying re-listening to some of my favorite music and being able to pick out sounds I never knew were there! As you might already imagine, movies sound absolutely stunning. This system manages to deliver the warmest, silkiest tones in all sounds from gun-shots, and ejecting shell casings tinging off the floor, to the deepest bassy explosions and loud music. One of the best aspects of the 5.1T system has got to be the fact that it's clarity seems never-ending whether you're listening to them at a pleasant low volume or loud enough to knock your *neighbor's* socks off. You can clearly see NHT's efforts were not in vain when engineering these speakers to be perfectly balanced.The "Ten" subwoofer really impressed me. It delivers soft, smooth, resonant bass equally at both low and high volumes without so much as a blip of distortion, or rattling your entire house to pieces; a very nice "feature" if you live in a place where you might share walls/floors. I would be willing to say that this woofer outperforms *any* other 10" sub-woofer from big-name brands that I've ever heard to date. The "Twelve" woofer must be incredible! The "Absolute Tower" speakers have precise highs, clear and full mids, and manage to create unparalleled crispy bass from its two 5.25" woofers which beautifully compliment the aforementioned "Ten" woofer the system comes with. The "Absolute Center" speaker shines in "Large mode" receiving a full-range signal. People speaking in movies now sound like they're right there in my living room; It's almost scary :) The "Absolute bookshelf" speakers also demand some serious respect with their stellar performance, imaging, and perfect blending with the "Absolute Towers" accompanied by their very reasonable price-point.All in all, I'd give this system an A+ and will continue to enthusiastically recommend these for anyone on the market. I thought I knew good sound, but now I know better and am proud to be an NHT customer.

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.
