NHT Classic Two

Two for the show

Fast Facts
The NHT Classic Two bookshelf loudspeaker produces big, room-filling sound with an amazing level of detail. Features include:

• New 6.5” woofer for deeper bass
• 1 ” aluminum dome tweeter offers unerring accuracy
• Easily wall-mountable using threaded insert on rear panel
• Larger listening area, lower distortion, and higher power handling than previous designs

Time to go deep
NHT’s Two takes all the attributes of the renowned Absolute Zero — clarity, detail, and dynamics in the midrange and high frequencies — and adds deeper bass extension and greater power handling capabilities. The result is a compact speaker that can more than do justice to today’s dynamic digital soundtracks and even the most sonically challenging musical passages.

Ideal for music and home theater systems in small to medium sized rooms, the Two incorporates an acoustic suspension design that use nature’s perfect spring force — air — to control the cone motion instead of a heavy, unpredictable mechanical suspension. It takes a little more amplifier power to do an acoustic suspension design justice, but the greatly decreased distortion, deeper bass response, and increased detail are well worth it.

The perfect frame
The 5.25” woofer features a frame made from BMC (Bulk Molding Compound). Designers usually have to choose between inexpensive, mechanically sound materials such as ABS plastic and stamped steel, or expensive materials such as cast aluminum or magnesium that are ideal mechanically and acoustically. BMC is the best of both worlds: a cost-effective material that is immensely stiff, and easily shaped into acoustically ideal forms.

Acoustically sound, environmentally friendly — and affordable NHT makes its cabinets with MDF, a board manufactured primarily of wood residues from the production of lumber and plywood, with a low percentage of virgin tree wood. The cabinets are hand-finished with 7 coats of polyurethane which is applied in a “solid particle” method that’s safe for the environment. This finish is then sealed with 2 coats of automotive grade clear-coat to protect the cabinet for years.

By using materials such as MDF and avoiding exotic wood veneers in the construction of their cabinets, NHT makes acoustically sound, furniture-grade cabinets that are environmentally friendly and affordable to produce.
