Switched them in place of the Klipsch R26 F speakers that I was using for rears.

The NHTs have an angled front and work better in the rear since they line up better with my main listening position.

The biggest issue is that since the cabinets are very picky as far as the mid-range drivers that will fit; I need to severely limit the level. to keep them from blowing. I have some Current production Peerless Mid-ranges that I can make fit (kind of) but will loose the phase timing somewhat as they will extend lightly beyond the front of the speaker box. Most modern 6.5 " mid-ranges or mid/woofers have larger magnets that interfere with fitment.

The tweeters were replaced with current production SEAS tweeters (matched as closely as I could to the original response; then were cut down to fit the cabinet's tweeter holes. The original NHT/SEAS tweeters had a custom/undersized mounting plate.

While this is not an exact restoration it/they sound better than the Klipsch speakers.
(I do not care for the sound of horn tweeters).

Enjoy!
