    Arrow NHT is Back!

    Now Hear This wants you to know it’s coming back to business. The much-loved American speaker manufacturer’s hiatus only lasted a few months – about as short lived as the death of a comic book Superhero before being brought back to life by a miraculous plot-wrinkle. But the comeback for NHT as it relates to its dealers is sure to have a few plot-twists of its own.

    I'm glad they are back too. NHT's always been one of my favorite speaker manufacturers.

    Can't say that I'm surprised. At least they were nice to their dealers and let the inventory empty, instead of starting up their direct-sales business in competition.

    If they are smart, they'll follow the Aperion business, customer service model. It's absolutely first-rate from beginning to end.

    Internet direct for NHT? Awesome. I can't stand the NHT dealer in town (that I bought from), and I would welcome the ability to buy direct from NHT.

    Hey Adam - I didn't buy those 2.5i's. The guy dropped the price too. I'll bet they could be had for $350 or less. I don't know if he'll ship though.

    Have you been drinking? Wait, wrong question - have you NOT been drinking? Get 'em. Get 'em. If they were local and easy to get, I'd seriously consider them. The key being "easy to get." After all, I order cereal online.

    I remember liking the sound of their old floorstanders from the 90s that had the angled front and side firing woofers. In this crappo economy and knowing having not so good experiences with home audio specialty stores, I'm all for the internet direct way. A bit of a rant here...but you'd think local home audio dealers with take into consideration the bad economy and internet competition to want to give you a low ball deal just to make a sale...well apparently alot of them are still on their high horses and only give the time of day to those who have lots of money to spend in this crap economy...ok rant over. I'm a big fan of internet retailers for obvious economic reasons and so I think it's a great move by NHT.

    I've always liked NHT.

    I'm glad to see them back in action.

    And I'm glad to see them going the direct-to-consumer approach.
