My taste runs to the PSB. To my ears and values, the NHT tends to sound analytical where the PSB is warmer. Yet the PSBs have a very transparent midrange and extended HF response without being excessively forward. They are deceptively detailed because their musical perspective is so natural sounding.
Check out any number of Stereophile PSB tests and the frequency response graph is always remarkably linear, even on their $400 compact speakers.
