Matching Sub for NHT SuperZero XUs?


I have a 5.1 set-up with 5 NHT SuperZero XUs as the front, rear, and center spkrs. I am entertaining the purchase of an SVS PB10 sbwfr to complement for both audio and home theater. Does anyone know how this sub sounds with the NHTs? I know the crossover has to be set pretty high w/ the NHTs (one recommendation was 120 Hz- any others?) Reviews of the SVS PB10 seem to indicate it's best in class, price-performance and that it sounds great with other existing spkrs. Anyone have a SVS/NHT setup? Any other sub recommendations? Thanks.

I too have used the SW2 sub and MA-1A amp with four superzeros and matching NHT center with good results. But with the price of a used SW2(P) and shipping you can get into a 10" HSU or SVS for not much more money I would guess. Not having heard a 10" SVS or HSU, I have to believe it would be an all-around better sub then the SW2P, with a tigher sound (less boomy) and being able to go lower into the hz's.

Might also want to check the HSU STF-2, as I see they have dropped the price to $399, most likely in response to the PB10.

Good luck and please report back how you like your new sub with the NHT's.

Another thing to think about for your system would be to upgrade to some used NHT Supertwo towers. The towers go down to around 35hz, and such, are much easier to intergrate with a sub, and are much more enjoyable to listen to in 2 channel listening. They are also a sonic match for your existing superzeros.
