NHT ST-4. Great deal and sounds funny Help GURUS

Hi there fellow audiogoners!
Yes its me Rapogee with confusion.
I am used to Jeff Rowland, Audio Physic, Sonus Faber, Meridian and.........that kind of gear!
Unfortunately I am downgrading now :( Encountered a great deal for NHT ST-4 (NEW and a real real deal for it) I know its not the stuff I am used to but any opinions on this. I auditioned it and something did not seem right, the guy said its not broken in.
My electronics is fine : All Classe gear! Anyone with any opinions on the new NHT ST-4 Floor stander. Thank you GURUS!

I auditioned NHT at my local dealer as was not that impressed...did a/b with the st-4 and the Spendor 3/5...no comparison...the NHT had that "cotton in the ears" sound...granted deeper bass....but I would opt for accuracy and transparency myself...

Yeah, my friendly long-time dealer is NOT impressed with the newer NHT he now has to sell, and quickly points folks over to the JMLabs Chorus/Cobalt and baby Spendors for true musicality. I guess the Super One was their last good cheapie. To my ears the Spendor S3/1p 6.5" 2-way is the best pair of monitors under $1200 net.

My vote for best monitors under $1200 is Quad 12Ls...with truly stable "out of box" 3-d imaging...and a soundstage that really is astonishing regardless of speaker size...the sound is very open, bold, fast, and clean....
