WTB: NHT center channel to match timbre of NHT 1.5 speakers
« on: March 20, 2014, 07:22:57 PM »
I have a pair of NHT 1.5s that I use in my home theater.  I need to find a matching center or replace them with Polk towers that match my existing center channel's timbre. 

If you have an NHT center for sale,  please PM me. 

Thanks

just an idea, but I have found you can easily use a pair of the same or similar speakers as a very good center, if your power source can take the load ( and I know you have more than enough power plugged in lol)  I use a pair of NHT SuperOnes as the center in my garage/ mancave without taxing the system and they do an excellent job. However, with the Marantz receiver they sounded like crap when wired in series, it didn't like the +16ohm load I guess...  I have an extra single SuperOne you are welcome to try and could remove one of my center speakers so you can try a pair..... SuperOnes are very inexpensive on CL.
a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

I don't think the Super Ones and the 1.5s would be voice matched.   It's a complete different driver set.

The 1.3s and the SuperOnes seem to have the same drivers.   Maybe they could combine to make a nice surround system.
