A long overdue review. I have been a hifi enthusiast since the early '90's, but am no rich guy. It wasn't until I came across the NHT 1.5 speakers back then did I think I could never afford excellent audiophile speakers. I purchased my first NHT 1.5 speakers back then due to their holographic imaging, fantastic tone, and beautiful looks. And since then I slowly grew my NHT collection of speakers for my home, which now includes three home theater systems and still my beloved original 1.5 speakers for my home office. I had my trusty NHT SuperSub encounter an issue after about two decades of use. I didn't think I had any options to get it repaired, but I contacted NHT to ask. They offered to take a look at it if i dropped it off, which I was willing to do. But then they also offered a trade-in credit to a new NHT 10" sub. That was the path of least resistance and put me into a nicer sub so i took them up on the offer. I can say that was such a great way to go, the new sub kicks ass! I've also had a few friends convert to the NHT way after listening to my speakers. They all have nothing but praise about their speakers. I am so happy NHT is still around and still in Benicia. A really great bunch of people passionate about excellent audio at reasonable prices. read more

Was looking for a new setup for my computer since computer speakers just aren't good enough anymore. Too much emphasis on the low tones where as NHT products don't as much. Staff were small, but very helpful all knew what they were talking about not just salesmen trying to get you to buy their product. Talked to a few of their staff members and found out they even do repairs themselves. I ended up getting a sub woofer for a good deal, fast shipping and really easy to setup without instructions. Even if I couldn't figure it out they said I could call and they'd help me over the phone as well. The products come with good warranty but don't think I'll need it since they seem very well made. All in all, a good experience. read more

Best performance for the price speakers you can get anywhere. Build quality is absolutely phenomenal. They are very quick to answer any questions too, by email or phone. read more

Over the years I've selected NHT outdoor speakers for their performance and value, as they provide clean sound from consumer-level sources and amplification (i.e. streaming audio via Pioneer Elite receivers). Imaging and soundstage are particularly good, in my opinion. But the reason for this review is SERVICE. I installed two pair NHT O2 speakers on the decks of my cabin in the Sierra foothills, where they were exposed to fairly extreme heat, sun, and wintertime precipitation. The woofers started to develop tears in the peripheral foam, leading to distortion. NHT warranties these speakers for five years, so I figured I was out of luck on the first pair (~7 years old)... but I contacted them anyway to ask about repairs. NHT offered to upgrade me to brand new NHT O2-ARCs for a very reasonable cost... and also swapped out my other (newer) pair on the warranty. While this updated version of the O2 has several features which improve its robustness, I now use simple speaker covers to protect them from the elements when we're not around. I dropped off and picked up directly at their warehouse in Benecia; Antonio and Bob were very helpful. It's so nice (these days) to be able to work directly with a local company that produces a quality product and stands behind it. Well done, NHT. read more

I acquired a Sansui stereo receiver circa 1971 - I heard a rumour that Sansui had some guys working there at the time that really knew how to design amplifiers. Anywho - I plugged a pair of absolute zeros into it and used my kids zune as the source. Clearly a magic combo. The music sounded so warm, rich and big, it gave me hope that mp3 players can, under the right circumstances, sound really good. read more

I have NHT Absolute Zeros at my business and they are awsome. The best part is the NHT is right in my backyard in Benicia just 25 minutes away. Anyhow, i went down to the store in Benicia and purchased some more components for my home this time around. John the owner was great at helping my out and and guided me through setting up my home system. At the moment my living room is a joy to lounge in thanks to NHT. The sound system makes me want to entertain more now, it is a good excuse to crank the speakers up. read more

Nht's are some of the best speakers I have ever owned. I have 2 M-00 with a Verve Subwoofer, PVC PRO,X2 Crossover, XLR Cables, M-Audio 192 sound card on my computer. It is simply amazing. Thank You NHT for years of good music and for keeping them extremely affordable. read more

Disappointing Performance from this crew, I have purchased 3 full 5.1 speaker systems from these guys in the past 5 years... needless to say I think I like the product and have been a good/great customer. On the last purchase I also purchased a Marantz Amp with the package, the amp was purchased directly from NHT on their recommendation . I have had some issues with the amp, it went back for repairs 6 months after I purchased it. NHT(Chris) did a good job... handled getting the amp repaired and shipped back to me. Well the amp went on the fritz again... and I sent a note to Chris. NHT(Johnathan) sent a note back saying... sorry your on your own, you have to deal with Marantz on this, they didn't even provide a contact number for Marantz. I know this is not their product, but they sell it directly on their website, sold it to me and I expected a better response. read more
