Hi all - new to Forum!

[Nightingale]

Hello everyone. Just joined. Interest in mainly 70/80s rock and mainstream classical depending on mood. Mostly vinyl collection but trying to squeeze better sound out of pile of old CDs. System: LP12, Mission mechanic [2nd generation], Koetsu Urushi ; Anthem Audio CD; Anthem Integrated 2. Sometimes switch to Sugden A21 and/or Marantz CD14. Oh,and Tascam 122 Mk III cassette recorder mainly for grabbing live radio broadcasts. Amazing with good tapes! Currently using NHT 2.5 spkrs. Live in UK, East Midlands.

Hello Nick. Welcome to AOS.

That's a nice selection of equipment you have. I'd expect some decent sounds from that.

If you have any plans for your system, we'd like to hear about them.

There's a Gallery section if you like to post any photos.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hi Nick and welcome. I have been using my NHT 2.5i recently (are yours the non-i I've never actually heard of them but I guess they must have existed before the i!). I tend to find them quite laid back in the treble I was surprised to see a number of US reviews saying they can be a bit bright and even spitty. I put this down to the popularity of low to mid fi receivers there as they are a tricky load in the bass which I would imagine would accentuate the treble if driven poorly. They actually sound very organic in the mids and highs to me, I've never been able to explain what that actually means but it just seems to make sense when i hear these. I have surprisingly had some very nice sessions listening to them near field where the performers were in a little holographic stage between the naturally toed in mid and high speakers, and also played with widening the soundstage successfully (in normal listening when room limitations meant I could not put them as far apart as they like ) by turning them outwards so that the fronts face directly away from the rear wall. Would be interested to hear your experience,

Lawrence
