| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Mostly vocals, jazz, country, and classic rock -- played at low to medium volume. |
| System Goals/Comments: | My goal is to build a good 'all around' system that works well with all types of music. I am VERY impressed with the NHT SB3's -- they just sound better and better as I make incremental improvements to my system. Hope to add a turntable some day. |
| System Strengths: | Nice balance of detail and smoothness -- probably tilts slightly to the warm side of neutral. Very nice with vocals. Bass extension is quite good -- a solid 40Hz in my room! |
| System Weaknesses: | Top volume is limited to about 90 dB, due to the combination of room size, speaker sensitivity and amplifier power. However, I rarely listen above 85 dB anyway! |
