Build Quality: 94
• Incredibly solid medium-density-fiberboard cabinets
• Flawless paint finish adds a high-end sheen

Value: 93
• Build quality is comparable with speakers that sell for double and even triple the price
• The Classic Four is a lot of speaker for the money

Features: 93
• The aluminum dome midrange and tweeter drivers are so cool
• The Classic Three is a three-way design, and that's a rare distinction among compact monitor speakers

Performance: 95
• The Classic Four has bass; you might not need a subwoofer
• The speakers have excellent model-to-model timbre matching and superb, three-dimensional imaging

Ergonomics: 93
• You can use the Three C center speaker's adjustable rear foot to angle the speaker down if it's placed atop a TV
• Eliminating the subwoofer might provide needed space

Overall Rating: 94
The most impressive aspect of NHT's new Classic designs is that they're such well-rounded products. They excel in every category: build quality, value, features, and performance.
