## Overview

Featuring a 6.5-inch long throw pulp cone woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter housed in a sealed acoustic suspension cabinet, it delivers lifelike midrange clarity and deep, controlled bass without the need for a subwoofer.

## Description

Product Description The latest version of the SuperOne provides the same terrific sonics of the Super Zero with enough bass response such that a subwoofer becomes optional. The SuperOne 2.1 is very compact, measuring at just 11.6" tall x 7.25" wide x 8.5" deep. However, unlike most small speakers, which use a port, the Super One 2.1's acoustic suspension (i.e. sealed) enclosure focuses on making beautiful, lifelike midrange and high frequencies with surprisingly musical bass from its 6.5” long throw pulp cone woofer and 1” silk dome tweeter. An addition of a 2nd/3rd order crossover effectively blocks extra bass that tries to interfere with the tweeter. The compact, well-braced cabinet is purposely designed to be strong and stout in order to avoid unwanted box vibrations. As such, the NHT SuperOne 2.1 is a true-high end book shelf monitor that builds on the merits of its predecessor and can be the perfect pick for the audiophile on a budget. desertcart.com The new NHT SuperOne 2.1 is a true high-end book shelf monitor that builds on the merits of it's predecessor and improves upon them. At just 11.6" tall x 7.25" wide x 8.5" deep, the SuperOne 2.1 is very compact. However, unlike most small speakers, which try to fool you with boomy, pseudo-bass from a port, the Super One 2.1's acoustic suspension sealed enclosure focuses on making beautiful, lifelike midrange and high frequencies with surprisingly musical bass. High gloss black finish. The act of polishing the edges naturally melts the vinyl together which helps minimize the seams.

Review: They defy logic, Spock would hate them. - Still breaking the NHT SuperOne 2.1's in, but so far I'm very impressed with sound quality. I remember when acoustic suspension speakers were how all good speakers were made, and used to scoff at "ported" speakers. Seems with these sealed box speakers you don't get a lot of that fake over emphasized bass. The vocals really sound wonderful with these speakers. If you like listening to great singers, than these are great for that. Nat King Cole sounds Magnifico on these babies. For $204 I feel I got a great deal. Update 8-3-2019: Got about 30 hours on thee SuperOnes now, and still continue to be impressed with the great sound quality. The bass is sounding a little better after 30 hours. The bass is very good and punchy, not over emphasized to where it interferes with the music, like some speakers I have. I've got the Ones in my main listening area now, which is about 16x26, and they can fill the room with great sound at pretty high volumes. My Elac Ub5's are in the number 2 spot now, and no immediate plans to change that. I seen that someone commented that the SuperOnes are great speakers for Audiophiles on a budget, and I would definitely agree with that. Update 8-9-2019: Love these speakers! Sound is improving with more break-in time. I've got 8 pairs of speakers, and right now these are my favorites, and some of my speakers cost 3x as much. I seen one comment said these speakers are a steal, and that is no BS. Update 12-27-2019: Still loving the NHT SuperOne 2.1's. I'm using the NHT's in my main listening area paired with a Vincent SV-500 int/amp, and they make a great pairing. The Vincent is very lively and punchy, and can sound bright on some recordings, and the NHT's are a bit on the warm side, but they match up great with the Vincent, and sound beautiful, great soundstage, and it conveys the Vincent's dynamics better than any speaker I have. Been wanting to get a "better" speaker to go with the Vincent, and right now I'm considering the NHT C3 3-way bookshelf speakers. I've got the NHT SuperZero's and the SuperOne's, and love them both, so I figured I'd stick with NHT. That being said, the NHT SuperOne's can probably match or exceed other speakers costing many times more. Update 2-4-2020: Just got a pair of NHT C3 bookshelf speakers two days ago, and breaking them in right now. The SuperOne's to my surprise sound more dynamic, and faster than the C3. I'm going to continue to listen to the C3's for a few more days before I decide to keep them or not. The C3's do have a bigger soundstage, and sound better at low volume than the One's. The One's vocals are recessed, and the C3 vocals are where they should be, so if you love music where vocals are the main concern, then the C3 is the way to go. On the other hand if you love instrumentals, and especially drums, then the SuperOne's are the way to go in my opinion, the One's are very exciting to listen to. In conclusion the NHT SuperOne's are probably the speaker deal of the century. I'm not giving up on the C3's yet, no way, they have some great attributes that the One's don't have. In a few days I'll make my mind up whether to keep the C3's or not. Update 2-7-2020: Well I sent the NHT C3's back for refund. I thought since I Loved the SuperOne's, that I might like the C3's even better, but I like the SuperOne's better. If somebody ever comes over, and I want to impress them with what my stereo can do, it wouldn't be the C3's, but the SuperOne's with their punchy, dynamic sound that would impress. The C3's were very well made, and solid as a rock. They had a big soundtage, and would play loud, but they just didn't have that oomph that I like about the SuperOne's. The C3's despite having all aluminum drivers was not harsh sounding. Looks like I'll just stick with the SuperOne's and enjoy. Update 2-10-2020: Well I did it again, and bought another pair of bookshelf speakers, just to see how far up I have to go to beat the NHT SuperOne's. This time it is a pair of Dynaudio Emit M20's. They coast five times what the One's cost, so they better be able to beat the One's, but if they don't, then it's hit the road jack. Update 2-14-2020: I've been listening to the Newly arrived Dynaudio Emit m20's for about two days so far, and they are nice sounding speakers for sure. They are pretty big for bookshelf speakers. I like the understated black satin look really. When I did the knuckle test on the side it sounded sort of hollow. I was thinking the Dynaudio's would sound sort of like the NHT's, but better. The Emit m20's do have a very big sound stage, and they are lively and dynamic like the NHT's. One thing I must have in a stereo speaker, is it must do drums well, and sound as close to the real thing as possible, and the Emit m20's are very good with drums. I've read that these Dynaudio speakers may take a good while to break in, so I'll give them their chance before I make my mind up. The place I got them has a 60 day no questions asked return policy. Right now the thing that bugs me about the Dynaudio's is they are too bass heavy for my taste. They can definitely knock out some serious bass, but one of my pet peeves is a speaker that is bass heavy to the point of getting in the way of the rest of the music. I've got the Dyn's on 22" stands filled with kitty litter, and setting on 2" concrete slabs with spiked metal feet on the bottom of the stands. The speakers are setting at 24" from the floor, and this seems like a pretty good height, but I would really like them to be 26" off the floor, so I should have gotten 24" stands. I have the Dyn's at 40" from the back wall, and about 50" from the side walls, and this placement is about the best I can get for sound. The Dyn's are giving me some boominess, and that bugs me. I'll give them a couple of weeks to see how and if they change. Other than the boominess they sound wonderful. I think I should have went for the Emit m10's. Update 3-8-2020: I tried the Dynaudio Emit m20's for about 250 hours of listening, but decided to return them and stick With the NHT SuperOne's. The NHT's just sound better to me. It's hard to believe that a $200 speaker beat a $1000 speaker, but it did. I think some of the reasons for the One's great sound is: 1. acoustic suspension 2. paper cone woofer 3. soft dome tweeter. I don't know how far up the speaker tree I'd have to go to beat the One's, but I have a suspicion it might be something like the Harbeth BBC Monitors to beat the NHT's, but they are about $2,500 a pair. Update 4-15-2020: At this point I've come to the conclusion that the NHT SuperOne 2.1 is the perfect speaker for me. It's like I've found the sound I've been looking for. I've tried about 13 different pairs of bookshelf speakers ranging up tp $1000 a pair, and none made me feel like they were my perfect sound. Now this is of course very subjective, and my perfect sound isn't going to be yours, but you know when you've found it, there is no doubt. It sure is strange that I got that with a $200 pair of speakers, and I've given up on trying to figure that out. That being said I just ordered a pair of Paradigm Atom SE speakers, and who knows maybe it can become my perfect sound. I'll let you know how that turns out. Update 7-25-2024: Sorry it took so long to update. I got the Paradigm Atom SE speakers, and they sound great for the money, but the NHT's are still top dogs for me. I got a pair of Tekton Lore Reference floor standing speakers about 4 years ago, and have been listening to them since then, and they are amazing speakers. I just yesterday put my old NHT's on top of the Tekton speakers, and thought I'd check them out again. Wow! The NHT's are an amazing speaker, and in some ways beat the big Tekton's. Love the Tekton's, but the NHT's are fabulous speakers, and I'd never part with them.
Review: Oh My My, Oh HELL YES. The speakers I was waiting for and didn't know it. 6 STARS - Picked these up as an impulse item/gift-to-self purchase when they put them on sale and I gotta say: Great speakers. REALLY great speakers. And so inexpensive!?! After 5 weeks of daily use they are all broken in and I feel like I scored big time here! I hear details in my favorite music that i never heard before. The way they present the sound is so sophisticated and nuanced. So polished but laid back. Warm but highly detailed. These NHT SuperOnes bring a smile to my face on a daily basis. I feel like here we have a company that 1) knows what the hell they are doing with loudspeaker manufacture and 2) lets their product do the talking without wasting money on a big ad budget like so many hi fi companies. They are selling steak and not sizzle and I thank them for this since in keeping the price low I can afford a speaker that sounds exquisitely lush, robust and full throated (even when powered by my 3.5WPC tube amp) and drips with detail like something much more expensive. I seriously cannot believe how inexpensive these are! But what makes the price so remarkable is the level of performace they bring for that low price. They present an absolutely unreal soundstage where you can hear instruments coming from all over the room. You will hear, say, the congas in a track coming from the upper left of the sound stage. Or notice that the chicken scratch guitar in the James Brown jam Hot Pants seems to just FLOAT, up and down, in the middle of the recording. I only heard the guitar previously, never checked that vertical movement of the riff. Some of my favorite Miles Davis electric era recordings sound so much better than with say the Kef Q100s that it's shocking. (I also have the Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelves and the very impressive BIC DV-62CLRSs but the NHT SuperOnes are in another league entirely). The hi-fi industry and audio review mags and websites are always focused on the latest thing. But I bet if we put the NHT SuperOne, an unassuming but high performing speaker that's been around for years, up against some of the recent What HI-Fi or Stereophile award winners, for example, we'd find that they hold their own with newer and flashier and more expensive products. I do use a sub woofer to round out the bottom end but as others have noted the 6.5 inch driver makes a surprising amount of bass. And the sound is nice and easy going--I listen all day on my days off with zero fatigue. None of the shrill highs of the KEF Q100s (boo hiss KEF Q100s--had me literally covering my ears they were so harsh. And when I was talking earlier about companies with a sizzle to steak ratio that is outta whack, well, KEF, based on my experience with those Q100s, I'm looking at you). If you are in the market for a sub 500 dollar pair of bookshelf speakers, then do yourself a favor and check these out. I bet you will be impressed too! I am so sold on this company now that I am already looking at their 3 Way C series speaker as a performance upgrade down the road. If the Super One sounds like this, what would their sho' nuff audiophile speaker sound like? Now Hear This = Oh Hell Yes!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: thinking of replacing older 1.5 with these speakers. How do they compare?**
A: I have a 9 speaker nht surround system in my living room upstairs. I still use  (2) 1.5s as the front mains an older one as the center and (2) newer 
super ones you are inquiring about. I also have (4) zeros 2 old and 2 new as dolby type surround speakers. it isn`t a perfect surround but they all blend well together. you can see I like nht speakers. the new super ones are good sounding speakers but they are not 1.5s. I love the 1.5s still today.
if you are planning to use the new super ones to replace  for listening to 2 channel stereo I don`t think they hit the lows as well as a 1.5. a fine speaker but I prefer to use a nice sounding sub to round out the bottom end in my system. for 2 speaker listening the 1.5s can stand on their own.
I don`t care what purists say but listening to music in this 9.1 speaker nht surround   system is divine especially with a Marantz sr7013 to power them. hope this helps

**Q: Do you need a sub with these speaks?  I listen mainly to jazz/swing.  Thanks.**
A: If you're using them close to a wall, in a room that's not very large, you might get away without one. Keep in mind, the more low bass these are asked to deal with l the more the sound quality suffers. I use mine in my bedroom and don't need a sub, but I will use one soon.

**Q: Do these speakers compare with $500-$1000 bookshelf speakers or not really?**
A: They sound perfect to me. It's like I've found the sound I've been looking for. For me there probably isn't another speaker that can do that. I've tried about 13 pairs of bookshelf speakers ranging up to $1000, and they were no competition. I know this sounds strange, but that's how it's worked for me. Good Luck!

**Q: The price is for one speaker or to pair ?**
A: The current listing of $102.34 is each speaker  (single)  I believe

They are selling steak and not sizzle and I thank them for this since in keeping the price low I can afford a speaker that sounds exquisitely lush, robust and full throated (even when powered by my 3.5WPC tube amp) and drips with detail like something much more expensive. I seriously cannot believe how inexpensive these are! But what makes the price so remarkable is the level of performace they bring for that low price. They present an absolutely unreal soundstage where you can hear instruments coming from all over the room. You will hear, say, the congas in a track coming from the upper left of the sound stage. Or notice that the chicken scratch guitar in the James Brown jam Hot Pants seems to just FLOAT, up and down, in the middle of the recording. I only heard the guitar previously, never checked that vertical movement of the riff. Some of my favorite Miles Davis electric era recordings sound so much better than with say the Kef Q100s that it's shocking. (I also have the Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelves and the very impressive BIC DV-62CLRSs but the NHT SuperOnes are in another league entirely). The hi-fi industry and audio review mags and websites are always focused on the latest thing. But I bet if we put the NHT SuperOne, an unassuming but high performing speaker that's been around for years, up against some of the recent What HI-Fi or Stereophile award winners, for example, we'd find that they hold their own with newer and flashier and more expensive products. I do use a sub woofer to round out the bottom end but as others have noted the 6.5 inch driver makes a surprising amount of bass. And the sound is nice and easy going--I listen all day on my days off with zero fatigue. None of the shrill highs of the KEF Q100s (boo hiss KEF Q100s--had me literally covering my ears they were so harsh. And when I was talking earlier about companies with a sizzle to steak ratio that is outta whack, well, KEF, based on my experience with those Q100s, I'm looking at you). If you are in the market for a sub 500 dollar pair of bookshelf speakers, then do yourself a favor and check these out. I bet you will be impressed too! I am so sold on this company now that I am already looking at their 3 Way C series speaker as a performance upgrade down the road. If the Super One sounds like this, what would their sho' nuff audiophile speaker sound like? Now Hear This = Oh Hell Yes!

New but old school, the NHT SuperOne 2.1s were not lying about using these bookshelf speakers without a subwoofer and supplying musical bass. Baring in mind a subwoofer is beneficial here, asking a 6.5" woofer to hit below 50 Hz in a sealed enclosure is demanding in of itself. The characteristics of these speakers, if placed correctly in a room, can deliver exquisite bass and the silk dome tweeters are silky smooth. (Pun intended), I've always enjoyed speakers in sealed cabinets a bit better than ported due to their accuracy without being toned or peppered. These are how my NHTs sound without being broken in yet, lacking in fullness and bass, they are still impressive and will get better overtime once they do break in. Their soundstage is very accurate like an AIM-54 Phoenix launched from an F-14 Tomcat, get it set up just right, you get the goods (Splash 1). Cons... they are dust magnets, Swiffer will help here. Keeping them looking crisp is a chore due to their finish and have to do it daily so the dust doesn't set in. Comparing the NHTs to F-14 Tomcats, they get LOUD without skipping a beat with your favourite music. Dance, Dubstep, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Country, Hip Hop, Rap, Pop or even Death Metal, these speakers get it done and look good while doing it. It's worth the price per speaker. Bring it in with Now Hear This! Update: It's been a week and a half since ordered, the woofers have broken in already and with the correct placement, these things can dive into the 40s. I did a power pull with my Yamaha amplifier temporarily and these things just pound! Still sounding absolutely phenomenal considering I have the bass set to full. You can indeed run these without a subwoofer but if you want super low bass below 30 hz, need a sub. Despite the price tag, just buy em as previously mentioned!
