They have many sweet mini systems IIRC. Aiwa is one of the most memorable things from the 90s.

Aiwa, eh? Here we are using my late mother's Aiwa component system as temporary solution while our HTPC is being upgraded. Nope, we don't use audio rack. But the gears are pretty safe under the table. Replacing the AVR with the said Aiwa component system, especially since an AVR is pretty...

Pardon the necro. My good ole Yamaha RX-V663 also sounds a bit dull when using "Pure Direct". I use JBL titanium-domed speakers for the living room (JBL 120Tis, a single JBL 4410 for center, and JBL LX44s for rear speakers), the dullness is not that severe. But when using NHT SuperZeroes, the...

Thank you everyone! :) It's been very long since my latest activity on AK. It's been a very busy year, especially November, since everything has to be settled before mid-December (I'm a government contractor, long story). My wife and daughters also gave me a birthday surprise last Wednesday...

KEF Q100 also gets bad review.

Wait, I thought the description above applied to full range single driver instead of full range loudspeaker.

Thank you, @BigElCat , all is good then. Anyway, any thoughts about SuperOne 2.1?

It's perhaps either marketing jargon or simplification for layman consumers, or both. Like @SleeperSupra said, there are not very many speakers that are truly full range. It seems the expression "full range speakers" is meant for large speakers; that is, speakers that don't need subwoofer to...

That thought also crossed my mind. However, since I can only buy new items (though I can buy used items with some tricks, but it's not easy), then, just like SuperZero, I can only buy SuperOne 2.1. I cannot buy the original SuperOne, just like I cannot buy the original SuperZero. Now, NHT...

Thank you, @onwardjames . As for recap, perhaps you might want to try what I did? At first, trumpet sounded harsh, but the sound mellowed with time, even when the speakers haven't been used. So no, I did not break the speakers in; I merely put the SuperZeroes away and not using them for almost...

I see, thanks. I take it Fostex Zigmahornet also sounds better than Merrill Zigmahornet, no?

I bet they look nice. The original SuperZero's piano black actually matches the retro look of my Sansui AU-7900. Mine are SuperZero XU, with curved futuristic look that don't quite match the AU-7900. Are Coral Holey Baskets still available new? What if I replace them with FE103En, which are...

I just wonder, while we're at it, are you required to declare item value and item "newness" (to declare whether the item is used or new) when sending locally in the United States? Does USPS strictly require you to declare whether the item is new or used when shipping locally in the US? No, my...

You have three SuperZeros? Let me know if you are bored of them.

Pardon the necro, but your description of their sound really stirs my interest, @jeffn . Is it safe to say they sound similar to NHT SuperZero? I mean, tonality must be differen;. I don't think there are two different speaker models that sound exactly the same. But I'm interested in four things...
