Title: WTB: NHT center channel to match timbre of NHT 1.5 speakers
Post by: OldiesButGoodies 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

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.
