To answer a few questions, I’m not exactly sure what the problem with the NHt’s are, jus tthat the high’s and mid-range do not feel the same as they once did. Regardless, I have plans for them anyway, as I intent to put them in the basement when I get around to cleaning it up.
I should also add, my biggest complaint when listening to new speakers is if they are brassy- I just can’t stand that. Back in the day, I had a pair of Polk Audio RTA 15T’s that I absolutely adored bridged to two adcom amps at 4 ohms, and that was really all I ever wanted. I’m not going to go into why I no longer have them, as it is a long story. After that, I had a set of paradigm speakers I bought in the mid 90’s, and I gave them to my brother when I got the NHT’s. I also had a pair of Bose 601’s before I got the Polks, but I sold them shortly after getting them. I don’t necessarily think of myself as an audiophile, but there is a certain texture to the kind of sound I like- maybe actual audiophiles can determine what it is by just examining my speaker choices. For example, I have never been a fan of Cerwin Vegas, Klipsch have not ever interested me for whatever reason, and I am definitely not interested in overwhelming base. I remember liking but not falling in love with some Boston Acoustics speakers, but haven’t heard any in ages.
At any rate, I am going to move the adcoms and the speakers to the basement, so I need a soundbar, and it sounds like Sonos is a good option but pricier than I want to pay (unless one of you wants to drop a shitload of gold in the tip jar).
And sure, if you have a set of Magnepans or a pair of Beolab 90’s (looking at you Soros) you want to give me, great. But I think I am looking at the Sonos and down for now. Do the Sonos come with a sub?
