A subwoofer for my NHT SuperZeros

I've owned the same great little pair of SuperZeros for over seven years now and originally purchased them with the NHT SW2P/MA1 subwoofer/amp. I felt it was a very good match sonically, they were definitely designed to work together.

Originally, I ran the speaker outs from my NAD receiver to the MA-1 amp using it's internal crossover and ran the split highpass signal to my SuperZeros with lowpass going to the sub. I also experimented with running the SuperZeros full range and adjusting the MA-1's variable lowpass filter to blend with them. Either way I thought it was a good match.

When I moved into home theater four years ago I gave the sub and amp to a friend and purchased the SW3P/SA3 combo. I'll probably be selling this unit soon as I just bought a Talon ROC 2002.

I think you should stay with the smaller NHT subs such as the SW2P, SW2Pi, or even the SuperSub because they were designed to mate with the small, quick SuperZeros and SuperOnes. The SW3P doesn't have speaker level inputs as the previously mentioned do, and the 12" driver may be a bit slow to integrate with the SuperZero's little midwoofer.

I'm now deep into the audiophile hobby, but I refuse to get rid of the little SuperZeros that started me off.

I will also nominate the SW2P/MA1 combo with the SZs. I use 5 SZs in my HT and really like the combination. I use an SW2p for the low end of the main Szs, and a 2nd in my small room for the LFE channel.

I really like my Boston Acoustics PV-1000 ($1200 list; $700 used); pretty much a good-looking, user-friendly QUICK clone of the Velodyne HGS12!

I want to thank all of you. Certainly some good advice and leads. The SuperZeros are the first truly high quality piece of audio I've owned. Back in the 70s I had a pair of the New Advents (that's how they were identified) and loved them, even with a low-priced Pioneer receiver. How I wonder what they'd sound like with some good electronics!

Thanks again.
