Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more
I still think mine sounds good, and gets better by the day. Like many other components, it is very particular about what you feed it. Bad recordings sound bad, great recordings sound great. I keep hearing from folks that think it is harsh, bright,... 
Best In Wall for 2.1 setup?
Get the Nobles. 
NHT XD's well built?
I've had absolutely no issues with mine, which I've had for about 3.5 years. Great speakers - the prices now are unbelievable. I've thought about picking up an extra system...

NHT new speakers M60, M80
Tom,Just curious -- what kind of gear were you using beforehand? Did you listen to anything else before deciding? How did you hear about them? I ended up buying the demo pair - the only pair available (even for listening) in Southern California. Jim

I bought 'em - they sound absolutely terrific. I had a party two days ago for the brass section of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and jaws were hitting the floor as they listened to these things. Stopped people in their tracks, literally.Go hear th...
