I do however own the NHT SuperOnes and they are very good, I also have a friend that just bought a pair of SuperTwo's. I think that the SuperTwo's will blow many speakers out of the water in the under $1000 price catagory with full range (down to 35Hz) sound. At $499 from Crutchfield, they are a steal. |

They handle 250w with ease and really pump out the SPLs (much louder than I can stand!) I bi-wired mine with KimberKable and noticed a significant improvement in stereo imaging. Their titanium trilaminate tweeter does a good job of imparting natural hi tones. I rented a dvd the other day and there was a scene with a very large grandfather clock that chimed. I could swear that that big brass chime was right there in my room. I really think they are under rated for home theater applications. If you're looking for a "finess speaker" that will perform great with classical music at lower volume levels then the NHTs may be the better speaker. NHTs are known for not being a very effecient speaker, so you'll need a powerful amp. It all depends on your intended use.
Best of luck,
