Lucky dog. I've been looking for almost 2 years to find an NHT dealer that has this system for a demo! And at $6000 its actually cheaper than it was in '05 ($7000).
But life's priorities shift, and that $6000 now would seriously hamper my 'buy myself a new Rolex' fund. :P (Its an SS Explorer 1 if you happen to have any spares lying around).

Sounds like a hot rig. It sure looks hot. Though I am of a mind that stands seem redundant-I would just as soon have a floorstander and use that space more productively.....

They rock. I've had mine for almost two years and am still very satisfied.
There are benefits to going with the sub-sat system over a traditional floorstanding setup, which includes more flexibility in placing each component where it operates best, and better isolation of the critical midrange and upper frequencies from bass-induced cabinet resonance. Housing the midrange and tweeter in a very small enclosure also allowed the NHT folks to build an extremely rigid box that further ameliorates cabinet resonance. It also provides a very small front baffle. The list goes on and on. This is a very well thought-out and executed design.

Come on man, get your priorities straight, you want an Explorer 2
Hello,
I've been interested in the NHT Xd for a long time. The system was introduced in the end of 2004 and although the system fitters have been modified, it is a shame they did not keep their promise to enable full room correction option. The boundary-compensation EQ has no affect on the frequencies below 200Hz - in the old NHT web site they claimed they" will fix those later ", but 3 years later the only option they offer is buying their multi channel " Controller " and not using the Xda microphone input . It sounds strange also because DEQX themselves have offered such an option long ago.It seems to me like they missed a chance to make a system that would sound perfect in any room - even one with bass problems. In other aspects, the system looks like a remarkable achievement. Mark Sunfilipo, did you feel the speaker boundary compensation enabled you to place the Xds near walls or corners with no effect on sound quality?
Thanks!

Nah, I have small wrists and no need to know 24-hour time.
