HI, The Vt 2.4 have a sensitivity rated at 88db and a 6 ohm impedence. They have a power rating of 50 to 250 watts. You will get the best results with NHT towers using high current amplification of at least 100 watts preferably more but because of the 88db sensitivity 100 will do the job.They like and work well with more clean power and high current amps. A good quality amp at 8 ohm will work excellant and will have no problem with the 6 ohm rating of the NHT's. I don,t know your budget but from personal experience I know that the musical fidelity amps work very well with them especially the 308 cr rated at 250 watts a channel. Just be carefull not to get an amp that is to bright sounding as the tweeters in the NHT will emphasize it. The older classe amps work well also. Your choices are vast with the 2.4's just remember , high current at least a 100 watts ( more if you can ) and avoid amps known to be a little on the bright side. Both my home theatre and two channel set ups are NHT and I have owned NHT speakers of one model or another since 1993. If you look on the back of speakers the info for ratings I gave you should be on the label above or below the speaker terminals. Cheers
AMP for driving NHT VT 2.4
I am trying to buy a stereo amplifier that works with NHT VT 2.4 speakers. The Amplifiers are rated at 4ohms or 8 ohms.
1. What is the speaker impedence of this speaker? I read somewhere that it is 6 ohms
2. Should I get a 4 ohms amp or an 8 ohms amp or are there such things as 6 ohms amps?
3. What is the power output these speakers can handle?
4. What is the optimal power output for them ? Would 100 watts/ channel be sufficient?
I don't have the user manual for this and support@nhthifi.com is bouncing....
Your helping out a rookie is greatly appreciated.
