What tunes to "spin" while spinning?
Thank you Creeper. I'll give them a spin. 
other singers like Patricia Barber.....
I recently bought "Verse", based upon favorable opinions on this site, and hated it, but like others, loved Holly Cole. 
Need help with Klipschorns/Electronics and mother.
I have hooked it up + to - and + to - for both channels and it definitely sounds better than having it hooked up + to + and - to - for both channels. I didn't think this should make a difference either, but it was very noticeable to all. Maybe we ... 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
The tweeters on the VT 2.4' are definitely not too low. A little high for my seating area actually. Also, no angles baffles on these speakers. The soundstage is huge and you always think the center channel is playing the vocals unless you put your... 
How to improve 2-channel performance in HT rig?
The 2.4's are pretty tall and the tweeters are generally slightly above my listening position already. Thanks for the suggestions and let me know how the passive preamp works out. 
How to improve 2-channel performance in HT rig?
My situation is similar. I am using the NHT VT 2.4 with Rotel RMB-1095 and a Sony DVD player/CD recorder/player for a source, all through a Marantz receiver as the Pre-pro. Home Theater sounds awsome, 2 channel sounds bright most of the time. I th... 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
For you blues afficionados, how does Roy Rogers rate in the scheme of things? 
Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"????
I stumbled upon Live in Paris at a local bookstore and bought it, never having owned a female jazz vocal CD before, but wanting to jump into the genre. I Love it. Any suggestions for better recordings/artists of this genre would be appreciated. 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
I have lived with these speakers for a while now. Let me preface my remarks by saying that my source for CD listening is a moderately priced Sony DVD player/CD recorder/player. Since one of my speakers arrived slightly damaged, I had to wait a few... 
Best female vocals on CD
I can't stop listening to Toni Price. Maybe not the most polished, but certainly the most fun! 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
I wonder why they would switch to the alumninum dome tweeter if it doesn't sound as good? Maybe just a personal taste of the designer thing? 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
According to NHT's website, the 2.4 has the same 1" aluminum dome tweeter as the venerable 3.3 and the favorably reviewed (by SGHT) VT 3 system. They SHOULD sound good after break in.

Have you had the opportunity to listen to them? 
Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me?
Thank you for the advice. I plan to give them time and I definitely will not harm my ears. I can't listen too loud with everyone asleep! (Can't wait to finish dedicated music/home theater room in the basement).I sounds as if you think these speake...
