NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4

I love 2.5's had a pair in the Sycamore finish , Super WAF .
But at the end of the day, they were just too inefficient to
be top speakers.

I've always loved the mahogany finish on that line. I thought they were stunning, though i never bought a single nht pair in that finish, that whole line was really fun to play with. I actually had more fun with the 2.5is than the 3.3s. the only reason why I sold the 3.3s was because I got an incredible deal on some genesis speakers. i've always heard that they all needed some balls to be appreciated. I recently sold my tubes and bought a class d amp. just for shits and giggles, im going to try out the 2.5is with that amp. I hope I don't blow them, or worse.

You won't blow them. You'd have to run them with that amp for hours @ full tilt for that to happen. More likely to blue them running them off a 20 watt tube amp @ full volume. Lots of clean power never hurt any speaker.

background: i'm going to try that today. i think i'm going to be the one that'll be blown away.

I ran the 2.5s with a w4s st500. Sounded pretty good. Keep us posted :-)
