NHT XD's well built?

At homecast.net a vendor called ~jhidley is selling Xd satellites with stands at app. $300/pair and woofers at $300 apiece. Now, while these include internal amplification, you must add your own x-over. Aside from the pricing, this may be appealling on 2 levels:

1) The original NHT x-over was a "watered down" unit (from, I believe DEQX) that didn't offer room correction. If you're okay in the price range, you can buy a full blown DEQX unit (new or used) and pick up rc at a relative bargain. By comparison, the full system being offered on clearance by Listen Up is priced higher than the above with a used DEQX, but a bit lower than a system with a new DEQX.

2) The x-over is the most complex piece in the x-d system. Buying this piece from a vendor that is still a going concern may be a good thing.

Good Luck,

Tim,

Thanks for clarifying - I didn't realize that the mains were powered by the central NHT/DEQX x-over unit that's not available with this purchase. Four additional channels of amplification would be required - and, therefore, my economic analysis of relative purchase price should be moified accordingly.

Marty

BTW - I'm not sure that changes the final conclusion as to relative value, particularly if you value RC highly.

Jimmy,

I believe the full URL is:
