OK, someone has to ask

Well, I don't think there's a lot special about the combination of SuperOne's and Adcom, other than the fact that they are both really good and neutral for what you spend. The NHT's are home hifi speakers, yes, but they're just speakers! Smile

Adcom is just one of many companies in audiophile land that none of us have ever heard of, but Scott turned me on to them as a good sounding amp that could be had for cheap. Certainly was a huge upgrade from an Alesis Ra100. The Hafler Pxxxx series is as good or better, but then again you're not going to see them for $150. As far as the sound, it's interesting- I can't seem to hear as 'far into' the mix as I can with my (more expensive) Quested system, but there isn't any frequency range that's a real zinger- the NHT's are just about as balanced as you could reasonably expect (well, there seems to be a little burble at ~3.5K, but it's orders of magnitude less than everything else in the price range). Mixes always translated well when I used them, and in fact they're sitting in the house as my final check-mix speakers now. I think the Yorkvilles are fine, but a little more top than bottom, and I don't get along well with that type of speaker. Certainly good bang for the buck, but I'd pick the NHT's as flatter with better bottom. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Bear's Gone Fission: Hey, Jon, your post has been sticking with me. The Super One's are home hi-fi speakers, right? What's with the Adcom? Hifi amp, it looks like from ebay, but I've never heard of them. Is there something about that mating specifically that's special (e.g.-one compensates for the other in a specific quality/range)? Is there a hype zone to beware of? Does the rig show a turd for a turd or polish it? (Some monitors flatter to a fault, it seems.)I want out of Minimus land, and had been thinking Yorkville YSM-1's, have you compared these to the NHT's?Bear<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Excellent, sounds like a good setup and I like the idea of gear that retires to the listening room. Thanks for the info.Bear
