Instead, seismic waves of deep, detailed sound roll across the room. Music comes across in a natural manner, neither too aggressive nor too laid-back. Movies through NHT's VT-1.2 sounded lush and spacious, and speech intelligibility was great even during noisy, complex action sequences. While the bass was impressive for music playback, for some intense action scenes it was disappointingly thin. The system we tested didn't come with a separate subwoofer, which is a shame as NHT has some impressive subwoofers in its product line.
Movies are detailed and enveloping, greatly adding to the realism of the experience.
Music of all flavors is conveyed faithfully with a sparkle and sense of liveliness missing from many speaker systems. The subwoofer provides the deepest, tightest bass around, effortlessly reproducing the most raucous explosions or the most delicate stroking of symphonic timpani. Music is detailed, uncolored, and dynamic. At this price one should expect no less. For their blend of price, design, and of course sound, the Polk Audio RM7300 speakers take the top spot.
