Product Information

The NHT Classic U2 subwoofer system is our flagship powered subwoofer system. It offers very high-output, very low distortion bass. The NHT Classic U2 subwoofer system is fully modular and features separate amplifier and crossover components combined with dual high-performance woofer enclosures insure the highest performance ever offered by NHT. The Classic U2 subwoofer system has two, subwoofer enclosures each containing a 12", aluminum cone woofers. It is widely know that having 2 physical woofers in different points in a room help even out the bass response. Each woofer features NHT's famous multi-coat, gloss black hand-rubbed finish.

The subs are powered by the reliable NHT A1 250W monaural amplifier, assuring plenty of output no matter what the room size. The NHT A1 amplifier features a soft-clipping circuit that limits the input level to the amplifier assuring full power with moderate distortion is possible without "gain riding".

Lastly the U2 is controlled by the NHT X1 electronic crossover, a fully featured 3 channel (2 main plus LFE) active electronic crossover that makes installation easy. The X1 features a unique "Boundary" control as well as frequency and level controls that allow you to tune the system to match the unique characteristics of your listening room. For more detail, including specifications for the NHT A1 monaural amplifier or the NHT X1 electronic crossover, see the individual product pages under Products > Electronics.

Best bass yet...

I've owned quite a few subs in my time. Long ago I owned a Visonik, some custom made jobs, other NHT's, a Velodyne ULD 15, a couple of cheap home theater subs and this U2 sub is the best yet by far. I actually own the NHT Evolution U2 version of this which according to NHT is the same just a different color. I wish I had the Classic black gloss version because they look so money. The 2 (actually very small) separate woofer boxes really help spread the bass around my room evenly. The system just slams with these woofers, very deep and very very smooth not boomy like so many and they are amazing on music. Nice to see this system back again and for $1099 (I paid about $1300 over 6 years ago for mine). This is a no-brainer if you got the bucks.
