NHT ST-4 review: NHT ST-4

NHT ST-4

Three-way tower speaker; 8-inch woofer, 6.5-inch midrange, and 1-inch tweeter; drop-dead-gorgeous high-gloss finish; cloth grille.

Black-gloss paint doesn’t hide fingerprints.

This speaker is ideal for those who demand full sound and spectacular style--and don't mind the size.

Speakers: Main Speakers: NHT ST4

The NHT ST4 is a fine value, revealing the essence of music in a far more accessible and energetic way than I ever expected from a $1,000 pair of speakers. By combining some ST4s with good yet modestly priced electronics and a CD player or turntable,...

NHT ST-4

These are finicky speakers. The weird load of the lower midrange presented by the midrange woofer is the biggest issue. When mono-amping, it gets sort of muddy. When bi-amping, the lower midrange gets recessed. There is a reason why most of the...

Lower mids; weird upper mids when cranked

NHT ST-4

These are very good speakers for the money. I Use them for stereo only. Comments from other readers are mostly accurate except for the negative biamping comments. I played around with a lot of different arrangements and found that biamping them works...

Excellent value. I heard better speakers out there but for at least a $1,000 more than the NHT's. The built-in subwoofers let you get that low feel-it-in-your-chest bass that I didn't get from other speakers in this price range. The separate...

The tweeter sound is a little hard sometimes (on some piano music) and they can get muddy when driven really loud. But they can be driven sufficiently loud for normal serious listening. The reccesed mids do not favor hard guitar driven rock

NHT ST-4

After reading the reviews on the ST-4 I purchased them to complete my home theater system. From much of what I these seemed mostly for home theater, but after listening to them in 2 channel mode I can't stop listening to music on them. The overall...

Truly Excellent SpeakersLow price-Great ValueOutperforms many higher priced speakers

If you have kids running around the house, these speakers will show where their hands have been. A CSI episode would last 5 minutes if the victim had these speakers

NHT ST-4

I just have a word of warning for all of you. DO NOT BI-AMP THESE SPEAKERS. I don't know why, but they still just weren't sounding quite right to my ears no matter what I did. I put the jumpers back and just monoamped it and BAM! They had to be...

NHT ST-4

Puchased the ST4's after a long search for new and used. Listened to Paradigm, Kef, B&w, Monitor Audio, Axiom & many others. I had a space problem and these fit the bill. I did have to have them placed with the bass driver facing inwardsbecause of a...

Clarity and balance. Depth and imaging

I wish they had a option of another finnish. Black is nice but I felt I was buying a Model T. You cann have it in any colour as long as it is black

NHT ST4

I personally never considered NHT when I began my hunt for new speakers that would accommodate my love for music and home theater as alike. I venture to Innovative Systems and began scoping out speakers because if you are anything like me appeal also...
