NHT XD's well built?


Have been considering buying new/used pair of nht xd's. Considering that nht is going out of business, or is out of business, just wanted to know if these babies are built to last.

Thanks,

I own some Classic 3s, Classic 2s and a Classic 12 sub and all have been great. I blew a driver when I clipped using a low powered amp and they covered the part 100% even when I told them what I did. The part was only 40 bucks anyway!

The issue with the XD system is that is is based on complex active electronics and all the DSP software that won't be updated. I wonder how well that will be supported. I know they stopped making it due to the cost of supporting it and the R and D required to keep it working well. What if the firmware goes bad? You are out of luck.

I think you'd be rolling the dice on a system like that. I wouldn't worry a bit about the regular line of NHT--they'll keep the parts available for a while I would think.
