Pros
- NHT hits a home run in build quality with arguably the nicest designed, most sturdy cabinets in the business.
- Two C is a true three way center channel speaker, rare in this price range.
- Improved acoustic design over Super Audio series provides more detailed mid/highs and greater dispersion.
Cons
- So many different drivers mean speakers in this system may not be the perfect match for each other.
- NHT Ten Subwoofer requires a smaller room to provide LFE at impact volume levels.
- Classic Two 5.1 system suffers from Jan Brady syndrome. In between two more practical 5.1 systems in the Classic Zero and Classic Three.
