Belvedere2 232 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Building a system around my M1.0t and C-1 for my brother. Looking for something like a NHT 2.5 in terms of size of floorstander. Not looking to go subwoofer and seperates since he'll have WAF issues. Lol. That being said he likes '50s music and does like bass. Listens to stuff like Rammstein occasionally. I was looking at NHT since he does like my AR-90s but they have a slimmer profile. Not easy to find though. Anything else out there?
B-Man 4,781 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The better Thiels don't need a sub and sound pretty awesome, IMHO...
Belvedere2 232 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks I'll check them out. Forgot to mention budget lol. Around 500.
kve777 6,889 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I have a nice pair of Mirage M-790. I paid $300.00, just looking to recoup investment. Possibly meet in NY or CT.
Showmodel 86 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Maybe some Definitive Technology BP2002. Can be found pretty cheap as most are looking for the BP2000. Have a side firing sub and built in amp. Small footprint. Current EBAY link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Definitive-Technology-speakers-BP-2002-/221841281975?hash=item33a6c553b7 Picure:
compwaco 1,129 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I have a pair of Wharfedale Sapphire SP-87s. Small footprint and nice sound. I'm not sure what part of MA you are in but we could probably meet up if you are interested.

DSkip 28 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 The buck stops here: http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/ele/5194169285.html STEAL for the money. I assume you were looking at these: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/5174073844.html No comment on those as I've never heard them.
Belvedere2 232 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks guys. I'll see if I can get my hands on those NHTs.

DSkip 28 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks guys. I'll see if I can get my hands on those NHTs. Just to clarify, I am recommending the Polk SDA2's for $100. That is WAY under market value and excels at rocking out. I have no comment on the NHT because I've never heard them.
Daddyjt 9,648 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Where are you located? I have a pair of pristine NHT 2.5 that I picked up as part of a Carver gear buy. They have all accessories, and came in the original boxes, with original foam.... 1
Daddyjt 9,648 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Located in Mass. I'll bet shipping would be cost prohibitive, but I can get an estimate if you're interested.... If so, pm me your address.
