From the Manufacturer

The Two is a variation on NHT's Absolute Zero model with deeper bass extension and higher power handling. Using a 6.5" woofer in a larger enclosure than the Absolute Zero, the Two produces a big room-filling sound with no loss of detail. Easily wall mountable using a pair of rear panel threaded inserts, the Classic Two adds new driver and cabinet technologies to reduce distortion and improve dispersion for a more articulate, more musical listening experience.

Buying any NHT speaker means you care about getting the best speaker value for your hard earned money. It means and you care about quality craftsmanship and high-end performance. It means you’re ready to join the family of fanatics who love music, movies and the best gear that produces them. Welcome to the club--Now Hear This!

Acoustic Suspension in a 2-Way Speaker Design

The Classic Two is a premium 2-way, acoustic suspension bookshelf speaker design. No ports or holes. Like all Classic Series speakers, it uses air, nature's most perfect spring, to control the woofer motion--the reason for its clean midrange and low distortion. Its driver compliment is a custom-designed 6.5" woofer and the same tweeter assembly used in the Absolute Zero: a remarkable 1" ferro-fluid cooled neodymium magnet marvel of engineering and production. The Classic Two uses a carefully engineered 2nd-order crossover to divide the frequencies between the woofer and tweeter.

Highly Rigid Cabinet for Reduced Resonances

Like the Absolute Zero on which the Two is modeled, the Classic Two enclosure is made with ¾" high-density fiberboard, re-enforced in several internal locations to eliminate any mechanical resonances. It’s finished with 2 primer layers, 7 color coats and 2 clear coats of black or white paint, hand-rubbed between coats.

Cabinets Designed for Easy Mounting

If you need to wall or ceiling mount the Classic Twos, the inserts on the back are specifically made to accommodate the Omnimount 20.0 wall mount and Omnimount 20.0 ceiling mount. They are also perfectly suited to conventional speaker stands. If you don't need to mount your speakers, the Twos come with user-applied aluminum and butyl rubber feet.

Optional Accessories

Adding a Subwoofer: Although a subwoofer like the NHT Classic B-10d or B-12d is always recommended for home theater use, the Two has enough bass that a subwoofer is optional for most music playback in small to medium size rooms.

Mixing and Matching: Building a home theater system? All NHT speakers are designed and voiced with the same design goals so you have the freedom to use any of NHT's Classic Series center channel speakers. That said, the Classic TwoC center channel speaker (sold separately) is recommended as the best match. Rear speakers? Again, a perfect match would be more Classic Twos for surround and back channels but many people opt for the Classic Absolute Zero's in Black or White because of their compact size. Thanks to voice-matching across the line, there are many choices to create the perfect NHT home theater for you.
