Every NHT Speaker Ranked

Last updated: September 6, 2026

What this page covers. The NHT models ranked here span powered speakers, passive speakers and subwoofers, including NHT B-12d, NHT SuperZero 2.1 and NHT C3. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.

This page lists all 4 NHT speakers ranked on this site across powered speakers, passive speakers and subwoofers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.

Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers

Ranked #63 of 64 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - NHT Pro M-00: $498 pair, discontinued (used market; originally $249 each) eBay

NHT Pro M-00 ranking card

Pros: A sturdy metal enclosure, analog studio/consumer connections and selectable nearfield/farfield voicing give it practical features as an older powered monitor.

Cons: The review identifies a pronounced upper-bass cancellation, treble peaks and problematic vertical response, and strongly prefers the JBL 305P MKII in direct listening.

Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers

Ranked #44 of 87 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - NHT SuperZero 2.1: $134.99 each NHT Audio eBay

NHT SuperZero 2.1 ranking card

Pros: A tiny, affordable acoustic-suspension speaker that is easy to place near a wall. ASR measured a 5.50 preference score with a subwoofer, broad horizontal coverage to roughly +/-60 degrees and good 0.111 sound-power smoothness.

Cons: This is intentionally a satellite: estimated in-room extension is only 84Hz and the standalone preference score falls to 2.19. Sensitivity and maximum output are limited, while on-axis smoothness of 0.220 and directivity-index consistency of 3.43 are merely average.

Large Size Bookshelf Speakers

Ranked #68 of 131 in Large Size Bookshelf Speakers - NHT C3: $625 (single, sold individually) Amazon eBay

NHT C3 ranking card

Pros: An unusual sealed 3-way design at this price, all-aluminum drivers (woofer, midrange dome and tweeter). Independently measured by ASR with excellent sound-power smoothness of 0.136, meaning off-axis behavior stays well controlled, a tight directivity-index standard deviation of 3.05, and a well-damped bass-alignment Q of 0.73 from the sealed cabinet.

Cons: On-axis deviation of 0.427dB is middling, though the tonal balance itself is close to neutral (a slope of just 0.01dB per octave). It’s sold as a single unit on Amazon rather than a matched pair, so pricing and ordering need to account for buying two.

Discontinued NHT Models

Still ranked, and often still worth buying used, but no longer in production. Check availability before planning around one of these.

Medium Powered Home Subwoofers (30-75 lbs)

Ranked #38 of 137 in Medium Powered Home Subwoofers (30-75 lbs) - NHT B-12d: $699 Discontinued eBay

NHT B-12d ranking card

Pros: 12-inch sealed acoustic suspension with 500W RMS BASH amp. Compact 14-inch cube design with MDF and aluminum liner. Brings out musicality with finesse, revealing subtleties of bass performance. Boundary Control allows virtual repositioning without physical movement.

Cons: Discontinued.
