About NHT Classic Four Floor Standing Tower Speaker-Right

From the Manufacturer The NHT Classic Four is a formidable, high-end tower-style loudspeaker that is simply "Best in Class". While the Classic Four looks like a tower, it is really a three-way bookshelf speaker (the Classic Three) sitting on it's own, integrated subwoofer stand. This design provides the detailed imaging, delicious midrange and natural sound-staging of a fine bookshelf speaker with the bass and dynamics you'd expect from a first class tower speaker. Provided you use a quality receiver or amplifier, the Four can fill a medium to large room with ease with rich, full-range sound. The Classic Four is perfectly at home in a high-quality home theater or in a carefully configured reference music playback system. Hybrid design of bookshelf speaker and subwoofer create a dynamic, full range speaker Buying a NHT speaker means you care about getting the best speaker value for your hard earned money. It means and you care about quality craftsmanship and high-end performance. It means you're ready to join the family of fanatics who love music, movies and the best gear that produces them. Welcome to the club--Now Hear This!Acoustic Suspension Hybrid ConstructionThe Classic Four is an acoustic suspension design where it really counts - the critical midrange frequency range. In this section of the speaker, the trapped air (natures most perfect spring) in the upper sub-enclosure controls and damps the mid-woofer cone motion. This ensures the Classic Four delivers smooth, natural midrange with low distortion along and high power handling. The integrated 10" woofer makes a separate subwoofer an option rather than a necessity This sealed upper section blends perfectly with the built-in, acoustically isolated, side mounted 10" subwoofer that provides usable in-room bass response to a remarkable 24Hz. This hybrid design allow the speaker to to deliver accurate midrange sonics you'd expect from a high end monitor speaker with the bass and dynamics that a larger floor standing speaker can provide. In addition, the subwoofer section may be bi-amplified for even more spectacular results.Four-Way DesignThe Classic Four is a 4-way design (unusual for a tower speaker in this price range) using a custom designed 10" aluminum cone subwoofer which is mounted on the lower side of the cabinet, on a wide baffle an acoustic environment--well suited for low frequencies. The mid and high-frequency drivers are located in a proper acoustical environment as well: on the narrow front baffle like a fine bookshelf speaker on a stand.Note that the Classic Four is sold individually, in left- and right-channel configurations.Thick, Rigid Cabinet for Reduced Resonance and DiffractionThe Four is made with CNC milled and laminated 3/4" and 1" dense fiberboard with extensive internal bracing and baffling for rigidity which helps reduce unwanted resonances. The front baffle itself is almost 1.5" thick. Along with the internal braces, the Four's cabinet has separate isolated sub-enclosures for the mid/high frequency drivers and subwoofer sections. The top front of the Four has variable radiuses flanking the Pod which help to randomize the upper frequency diffraction effects.The cabinet's curved top, gentle edge radiuses and hand-rubbed, high-gloss piano-black finish lend a sense of timelessness to its visual aspect. Classic Threes are sold and packaged individually as left or right side speakers. Included are 2-piece BMC formed stabilizer wings with threaded inserts for included carpet spikes. Rubber pads are included for hard flooring.Optional AccessoriesAdding a Subwoofer: The Classic Four is a full range speaker making a subwoofer completely optional. Adding a NHT Classic series subwoofer to a pair of Classic Fours will however allow the Fours to have application flexibility. For example, Fours can be ran solo, full-range for excellent stereo music performance while allowing separate subwoofer(s) to improve system dynamics and lower total system distortion in
