So I hooked my new system up last night: NAD T742 A/V surround receiver NHT SB-2s and SB-1s NHT SuperCenter Dayton 10" sub Two minutes into testing it out, the NAD powers off. Just shuts down. Repeated attempts to power it back on result in the green power light on the face of the...

Total newbie question here, and it's probably been covered a thousand times: My receiver only seems to have an RCA-type input for a sub. Do subs typically use RCA plugs and not conventional speaker cable with red and black ends? If you are supposed to use the RCA cables, then since my...

Totally aesthetic question here - besides NHT, who makes surround bookshelf speakers with all-white piano lacquer high-gloss finishes? Thanks

Limit is $600 for an entry-level package. Would like 4 bookshelves, a center and a sub. Room is 13 X 21, and would like it for both HT and music listening. Considering Fluance, HTD, and Cambridge Soundworks. Possibly a used set of NHT SuperZeros/SuperOnes. Best sound for modest budget...

How do these speakers compare with the likes of the PSB Alpha B, Axiom M3ti, B&W 302, and similar products? Do NHTs have a certain "voice" of their own that would make them stand out from the crowd? I'd like to use these in a HT situation, but I want them to be equally adept at audio; I...

Which would you choose for great quality sound for HT and 2-channel audio? Is it a toss-up, or does one clearly outshine the other? Thanks

Totally objective, I know, but what have you found in your travels to be the best-sounding speakers at the $300 mark? So far, I'd have to say the Paradigm Mini Monitors. With so many choices at this pricepoint, I'm curious to know which speakers you have found to exhibit stellar...

How does this system (60 or 70) compare with other 5.1 packages in the same range? Is there another system that sounds better for the same price? Are these speakers very different from Wharfedale's Diamond series? Thanks for the help!

Hi all, Sorry for the barrage of posts/questions lately, but I'm now resigned to looking for the best quality 5.1 surround system for the most affordable price. I know there are tons of choices for high-end gear, but since I'm really on a budget, I'd like to know your recommendations for the...

Probably covered many times before, but how do these little guys sound? My room is 21 x 13 — will these Micros be sufficient? I'm finding it hard to believe that these little 4" speakers (with no tweeter) will sound at all impressive. What's the real scoop? Thanks

I'm prepared to spring for Axioms. I've done some research, and these speakers now lead my shortlist of top choices. I was planning on using the M3tis for fronts, and the M2is for rears. My room is 21 X 13, so I'm now wondering if I can get away with two pairs of M2is and a sub instead of...

Just got the November issue of Consumer Reports with the feature on home theater set-ups. Here are the top 5 recommendations in accuracy for bookshelf speakers: 1. Cambridge Soundworks Newton M80 2. Sony SS-MB35OH 3. BIC America Venturio DV62SI 4. Bose 201 Series V 5. Boston Acoustics...

Hello, I am looking for very small, unobtrusive satellite speakers for my 21 x 13 family room. I like the diminutive size of the Bose cubes, but desire better quality sound. I'd like to mount them on the wall, rather than on stands/bookshelves. I'm also on a really tight budget as well - say...

Hello, I am looking for a new surround system; actually, just the speakers. I have a Denon receiver, but wish to add the front, center, rear, and sub speakers. My budget is pretty small right now; maybe $500 - $800. I would like smaller speakers, just for the sake of integrating them into...
