| Best loudspeaker on the 3k range??? NHT 2.9's list for $2500, sell for about $1500 used. Very low base and amazing wide soundstage. Open and detailed sound. Can play very loud. I compared these to PBS stratus golds and the PSB's sounded like they had wet rags hung over the drivers. ... | |
| Recommended cables for NHT 2.9 I use harmonic tech pro 9 bi-wire with 2.9's and a Classe CA200. They go for around $450-$500 used so may be a little more than you want to spend. Before I got these I was using original monster cable. The improvement with the new cables was huge.... | |
| Speakers for a Classe CA-201 I run nht 2.9's with a Classe CA-200 with great results. Excellent imaging and good low end. | |
| Lexicon DC-1 or Theta Casa Nova The Classe units are great for stereo and the ssp-25 is a great buy. I got mine for $1750 used. | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Carl, Hendrix and Miles are what I listen to in the open! Jackson Browne is the "sensitive" stuff I hide from my friends. Did I read that you listen to Def Leppard? That's not guilty pleasure. That's guilty torture. | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Isn't this a personal thing? To me guilty pleasure music is anything you you wouldn't want to be caught listening to by your friends. I am a Hendrix, Miles Davis guy. Don't want too many people to see me with that sensitive stuff. | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Don't tell to many people but sometimes I drink wine and listen to old Jackson Browne albums. My wife calls him Jackson Drone. Old seeds sometimes roll out of the double covers. | |

| NHT 2.9 vs. Thiel 1.5 (or other?) I have 2.9's. They are great speakers you have to be care full with amps. I found these to be too bright with a Bryston 4bst. I now use a Classe ca200 and it is a really nice match. The dynamics of the 2.9's make up for the sleepy nature of the Cl... | |
| Classe or Bryston? When Stereophile recommends a product it is a great product. When a product does not make their short recommended list it does not mean it is not a great product. I tried both with my NHT 2.9's, and the Classe CA200 sounds much better. The Bryston... | |
| leave amps on? Four for, one against. My NAD 218thx and Adcom 5006 are on. Thanks all, Jon | |
| Best A/V Receiver up to $1200.00? NAD T770. This is the best choice if stereo music is important to you. I had a Yamaha 2095 that was great for movies but really bad for music so I sold it and got the NAD, which I have since sold but thats another story. | |
| EAD Encore, Classe SSP-25, or Acurus ACT I have an ssp-25 and love it. It can be used in stereo with a sub if you select "small" for your main speakers, sending below 80hz to the sub. This is a very nice sounding unit. | |
| Classe' SSP-25 I also have this problem but, it is more like a one second delay. Maybe we should present this to Classe as a group of owners. |
