Though I also believe there are many better speakers then NHT for the money, with less excuses need to be made, I do however think the Classe would mate well with them from what I heard, as I found the Classe 101 pretty laid back and did have good bass articulation and extension you're looking for, offering a mid hall seating compared to a front row seat I'm fond of, but suppose it may balance the flaws of the speaker which you have recognized. Only way to ever really know what works for you is to just try it however, your ears are the only pair that matters, ultimately.
Maybe my comparison was too specific...
I started a thread the other day to which no-one replied...perhaps I was too specific.
In the thread, I asked if anyone had compared the Primare A20 to the Classé CAP-101. I assume, by receiving no replies, that no-one has directly compared the two products.
If this is the case, would anyone please give me some insight on the sonic characteristics of the Primare A20. I plan on running a pair of NHT 2.5i's (rated at 86db/w/m). These speakers are a bit 'hot' on the top end, have somewhat of a recessed midrange, and can boom in the lower frequencies if not properly controlled.
I have listened to a the Classe CAP 101 along with a lower-end NHT floor-standing speaker, but the Classe seemed to be a bit 'flat' sounding.
Any info on either of these two products will be greatly appreciated.
I currently have a Rotel RCD 971 source and an external MSB Link DAC III, half Nelson is on the way. This will be my source unit.
thanks again.
