NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4

I can't answer your question directly but I can say that I couldn't be happier with my Classic 4's.

I'd like to know but guess that Classic series may have been the best work they ever did (though like the SB bookshelves for price).Hope company comes back.

I thought they were back in business. Are they
not?

NHT is still alive. They have reorganized and are an internet dealer yet still have a number of brick and mortar retailers as well. They just added a third partner Frank Sadowski whose forte is consumer electronics e-commerce.

I for one wish them well. I own the Classic 3's and think they are fantastic for the money. $700 new.

Late to the party, but since other people read these forums besides the OP, I'll answer.

I've owned both, still own both, and dry up with the same amp and preamp, the Classic 4s obliterate the 2.5I's. Similar house sounds, with an up tilted tonal balance, but the classics disappear better, have more extended highs, deeper lows, better soundstaging, and sound more refined.
