Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The ideal center channel match for the Classic Two and Three speaker models and a great center upgrade option for the Absolute Tower, the TwoC combines NHT's new midrange and tweeter assembly with dual 5.25" aluminum cone woofers to create a center speaker that expands your home theater's "sweet spot" beyond anything produced by a conventional 2-way design.

A speaker designed to expand your home theater sweet spot beyond any conventional 2-way design

Buying any NHT speaker means you care about getting the best speaker value for your hard earned money. It means and you care about quality craftsmanship and high-end performance. It means you're ready to join the family of fanatics who love music, movies and the best gear that produces them. Welcome to the club--Now Hear This!

3-Way Center Channel Speaker for Wider Sound Imaging

3-way designs are important to home theater center speakers because their dispersion is very wide in both the horizontal and vertical planes. This means consistent tonality and good detail virtually anywhere the viewer is seated. In addition to traditional center channel use, the TwoC can be used as a left or right speaker when a low profile, low distortion solution is needed. The TwoC will always outperform bookshelf speakers turned sideways.

The load balancing in the TwoC gives you cleaner sound at high volumes with ultra-low distortion. View larger

The TwoC is a 3-way, dual 5.25" woofer design with a proprietary .75" aluminum dome tweeter and 2" aluminum dome mid-range. The tweeter/midrange are built into a single compact module which is also used in the NHT Classic Three and Four. The clustered drivers acoustically act as one providing very smooth response. Another benefit of the tweeter/midrange module is its low height allowing NHT to offer maximum performance in a very low profile cabinet.

Four Drivers for Reduced Distortion

The use of four drivers in the TwoC has another positive attribute: it reduces distortion caused by power compression because the load is spread over multiple drivers. This load balancing in the TwoC gives you cleaner, crisper sound at high volumes, so you can crank up your favorite music and movies.

Piano Finish Cabinet

The TwoC, like all NHT Classic Series loudspeakers, are finished with two primer coats, then seven color coats of polyester paint, topped with two coats of clear acrylic polymer. This beautiful piano-gloss black finish is an NHT hallmark.

Optional Accessories

Mixing and Matching: Building a home theater system? All NHT speakers are designed and voiced with the same design goals so you have the freedom to use any of NHT's Classic Series speakers in nearly any configuration. That said, the Classic Two, Absolute Tower, Classic Three or Classic Four front channel speakers (sold separately) are recommended as the best match. Rear speakers? Again, a perfect match would be to duplicate what you chose for the front speakers (for surround and back channels) -- many people opt for the Classic Absolute Zero's in Black or White because of their compact size. Thanks to voice-matching across the line, there are many choices to create the perfect NHT home theater for you.

Product Description

NHT's Classic Series represents their best efforts to date in passive loudspeaker design. Classic speakers start with the design fundamentals that have made NHT's reputation for accuracy and high performance, and add new driver and cabinet technologies which reduce distortion and improve dispersion. The benefit to you is a more articulate, more musical listening experience. The ideal center channel match for the Absolute Zero and Two speaker models, the Two C combines NHT's new midrange/ tweeter assembly with dual 5.25" aluminum cone woofers to create a center speaker that sounds great outside the narrow "sweet spot" produced by ANY 2-way design.
