NHT is a new loudspeaker manufacturer that presents some sleek and relatively affordable models. Although all NHT models look cool, have nice specs and surely sound incredibly accurate, I feel that the Absolute Zero loudspeaker is NHT’s best mini-monitor.

The Absolute Zero is actually the successor for the 1993 SuperZero model. The new model features an accurate 5.25" woofer encased in a frame made from BMC (Bulk Molding Compound), a cost-effective material that is stiff enough, but easily shaped into acoustically ideal forms.
This finish is then sealed with 2 coats of automotive grade clear-coat to protect the cabinet for years.

By using materials such as MDF (a cost effective manufacturing technique that uses wood residues) and avoiding exotic wood veneers in the construction of their cabinets, NHT makes acoustically sound, furniture-grade cabinets that are environmentally friendly and affordable to produce. The cabinets are finally sealed with 2 coats of automotive grade clear-coat to protect the cabinet for years.

Tech specs also include:

• 1" aluminum dome tweeter
• Easily wall-mountable using threaded insert on rear panel
• Larger listening area, lower distortion, and higher power handling than previous 2-way designs
• Frequency Response: 71Hz-20kHz,
• Sensitivity: 86dB (2.83v@1m)
• Impedance: 6"-nominal,
• Dimensions: 9.75"/248mm x 5.625"/143mm x 7.25"/185mm (H x W x D)

You can find a couple of these loudspeaker for as low as $900 online.
