I also use classic threes in my set up powered by a rotel 1075 amp (125w x5) and a new Marantz receiver as a control unit. I too think the speakers sound fantastic, although I don't know how they would compare to the CDM 1NTs. I can tell you the classic threes compare very favorably to any other speaker I have ever owned; klipsch, AR, and yamaha. The one thing I noticed about the threes is that in a smaller room, the speakers produce pretty impressive bass to go along with it's mids and highs. I will add that I use the nht u2 sub system for the low end. Hope this helps.
B&W CDM 1NT vs. NHT Classic Three?
I'm the original owner of a pair of B&W CDM 1NT's and I was wondering if anyone here has ever really listened to a pair of NHT Classic threes (newest version w/aluminum bass driver)and could tell me if they're on par with the B&W's or not?
I have an opportunity to buy a brand new pair of the Classic Threes at a very discounted price and wondered if they could even replace the B&W's that I bought in either 02 or 03. I'd have to go through my box of receipts to be positive as to the year of purchase.
I still have the original box that the 1NT's came in and the manual but I haven't checked yet to see what they're selling for now if in pretty much mint condition.
Thanks so much in advance for any feedback you can give.
