I finally found some speakers she does not care for NHT 3.3

I am sorry your wife doesn't like the speakers, have you decided which you are keeping  the speakers or the wife? When I was a newly wed I found a great pair of Kef 4.2s in a pawn shop for $150 for the pair and they were beat up. I knew my wife would hate them but I let her pick the new veneer  and took them to a cabinet guy and she was happy after that

I have a pair of NHT 2.9's that I had the same problem with. I bought them right after moving into an apartment (now in my second apartment), and could never get them to sound right. They were never lacking in the bass however. I just could never get them to project a convincing sound stage or even get them to image properly. Like you said, the whole pre-determined angle of the speaker baffles and such restrict you from placing them where you need them.

 

Since I couldn't find anyone to buy them for a decent price, I just decided to keep them and store them in my old bedroom at my brother's house. I recently just gave them to my oldest brother to go with the Carver "The Receiver" MXR-130 that I also just gave him. They sound excellent in his room! Go figure...

 

Also, he recently purchased a pair of replacement foam strips for the 2.9's. The eBay seller said he only had a couple of pairs left and wouldn't be making anymore. I'm willing to bet he bought them from you. 

 

I just installed those strips for him last week.

Yeah those are the ones I made. Nice to see them go to use. I am not sure if I will make anymore or not, in the middle of buying a house and moving right now.

I still have three of these that have no adhesive backing and would need to be glued on like the ones I used on mine that I will give away. not three pair just three so enough to do one pair of speakers with a spare. PM me your address and I will send them to you.
