The Classic Two's are OK sounding. I found NHT's previous line, the SB series, to be overall smoother and more 3D sounding. I have owned the SB2 and the Classic Two and am very familiar with the SB1.
When comparing the SB2 to the Classic Two, I found the SB2 more musical ... the Classic Two seemed to be designed with HT in mind. Both speakers were used with NAD 320BEE and Prima Luna Prologue 2 integrated amps and a Rega Apollo CD player.
I would look at the Rega RS1 or R1, if you can find a discontinued sale. Very musical, good bass, good with most music types. There are the Energy RC10s. If you can swing the extra cash and slightly bigger cabinet size, the Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1 are excellent.
