Thank you everyone for your input. It appears that NHT has really faded away from mainstream. Currently I own some Paradigm Studio 100V5’s. Nothing special, but I enjoy them and it is all I can currently afford. They open up decently with a good amp and pre.
I haven’t heard a good pair of Revel’s yet, but I am thinking that their top end may be a tad dryer than I prefer. It seems many people prefer speakers that are voiced that way. I tend to lean towards what many consider a tad brighter top end speaker. Not harsh by any means, but not rolled off either.
I judge how a tweeter should sound from playing my drum kit and jamming in a band. I have a pro level kit and have played for many years and my ears are pretty educated to cymbal sounds. Of course, my ears and brain are like everybody else’s (my opinion) but I do believe that it helps to educate your ears to musical instruments to be able to decipher true live sound.
Hopefully I will be able to make another step up in my search for audio nirvana with another set of speakers someday. It is just so expensive for the amount of improvement received as you get into the higher levels of equipment. Take care all.
