## Overview

The NHT SuperZero 2.1 is a premium, compact bookshelf speaker designed for discerning audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. Featuring a 4.5-inch long-throw pulp cone woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, it delivers detailed, transparent sound with a wide soundstage. Its sealed acoustic suspension cabinet minimizes distortion and bass boom, while a 12dB/octave 2nd order crossover enhances clarity and power handling. Finished in gloss black with versatile mounting options, the SuperZero 2.1 is ideal for minimalist setups seeking high-resolution audio without compromise.

## Description

Product Description The product voltage arrange is 120V From the Manufacturer NHT SuperZero 2.1 Amazing Mini-Monitor The SuperZero 2.1 can easily be wall or ceiling mounted The new NHT SuperZero 2.1 is a true-high end mini-monitor that builds on the merits of its predecessors and even improves upon them. Transparency, detail, "walk-around the stage" realism, it's all there, and so much more. At just 9" tall, 5" wide, and 5.5" deep, the SuperZero 2.1 is small--really small. Unlike most small speakers, which try to fool you with boomy, pseudo-bass from a port, the Super Zero 2.1's acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure skips the bass and focuses on making beautiful, lifelike midrange and high frequencies. Just like the original SuperZero series. Stunning build quality improves midrange performance. View largerMagic BoxThe build quality is stunning too. The compact, well-braced cabinet is naturally strong and stout--stronger than larger boxes. As a result, it doesn't have the to deal with the box vibrations that interfere with the critical midrange performance of its big-boy counterparts. The speaker's narrow front face is almost all speaker, so there's no wide baffle to interfere and interact with the Super Zero 2.1's output.New and ImprovedNo mere update, the SuperZero 2.1 makes some subtle improvements to the original Super Zero and SuperZero 2.0 designs. Specifically, NHT added a 2nd order crossover, effectively blocking more of the bass that tries to sneak into the tweeter, and a newly revised woofer. These small changes significantly lower distortion, improve power handling, and make the SuperZero 2.1 sound even better than the original.Inside the BoxThe SuperZero 2.1 sports a 4.5" long-throw pulp cone woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter. As mentioned above it features a 2nd order crossover (12 dB/octave) for both the midrange and tweeter.Outside the BoxThe SuperZero 2.1 is finished in a beautiful black gloss laminate. Its grill is removable for those moments when you want to light candles and listen at the apex. The speaker can be easily wall- or ceiling-mounted using a Omnimount 10.0 bracket screwed into its 1/4"-20 threaded back panel insert (sold separately). It also features 0.5" 5-way binding posts that can accept bare wire, BFAs, spades, or traditional banana plugs (singles or duals). NHT also offers a range of speaker stands and other complements to the SuperZero 2.1 (sold separately).Complete Your NHT Super SeriesSuperZero 2.1 SuperPower 2.1 Super 8 Type Mini-Monitor Bookshelf Subwoofer Frequency Response 85Hz - 20kHz 72Hz - 20kHz 37Hz - 210Hz Max Power 75W RMS 90W RMS 110W RMS Dimensions Height 9" 9" 11.2" Width 5.5" 5.5" 11.2" Depth 5" 6.75" 11.2" Finish Gloss Black Gloss Black Gloss Black

Review: Best Value in Audiophile - While I have listened to the NHT speakers years ago in audio shows, never owned one until now. Although I thought NHT speakers sounded very good, it wasn’t necessary a great value as they were at much higher prices years ago than today. I was very surprised to see a pair of the SuperZero can be had for less than $120! Since I was never happy with the KEF Q100 as my desktop speakers, I decided to give the SuperZero a try and I am glad I did. First, the build quality is far better than expected. Better than the KEF Q100 or even more expensive speakers. Although some people do not like the piano gross black finish, I like it. The speaker banding post also is far better than most if not all in this price range. It can take different type of connectors including Y and Bananas. The most important factor of a pair of speakers of course is how they sound and the NHT really shines. Just as I did with the KEF Q100, before I put the NHT to my desk as intended, I try them out on my main and secondly stereo system to get a reference feel. The sound stage is very wide and the highs and mids are very clear and sweet. While the speakers will not produce deep base, the base they produce are very tight, not booming at all. The cannon shots in the Mercury and Telarc’s 1812 recordings are reproduced clean and tight and all the echo details. While a lot of people seem taking brightness as been clear and booming as strong base, the SuperZero really shows what a clean musical speaker should be. In comparison, the KEF Q100’s highs are way too bright, even when driven by tube amps. On the other hand, the Q100 does not able to reproduce the finer details as the NHT. Although as book shelf speakers, one would not expect the Q100 to have extended base either, one does however expect it to go deeper as it has a bigger woofer. But over here the Q100 also fall short of the SuperZero. While the Q100 may go a few Hz lower, its sound at the low end is nowhere as tight as the SuperZero. Putting on the desktop, the SuperZero shows it is also a far better a near field speaker than the Q100. Not only the sound stage remain wide with a much shorter spacing, the highs of a good soprano recording also remain clean and details without been ear piercing. While in absolute terms, these NHT SuperZero 2.1 still are no match for my main or even secondary speakers, the NHT are only at a fraction of cost of those. Compares to a closer match of KEF Q100, it is far better in all aspect of music at less than half (Paid $250 for the Q100) or even one quarter (Q100 often priced at $550) of the price. If people think Q100 a great bargain at $250, than at less than $120 for a pair of SuperZero 2.1, the value is unmatched in audiophile Edit: 8/24/2019 Brought a pair again. My previous review was more focused to compare SuperZero with KEF Q100. In this follow on, I will add comparison to SuperOne. Some reviewers claimed the SuperZero doesn't have enough base and people should get the SuperOne instead, will I don't think so. While it is true a small speaker like SuperZero doesn't have deep base and one should not expect it, the bass it does put out is very tight. The SuperOne on the other hand, While goes a little deeper, it is less tight and depends on how you place them, the bass can be a little booming. More importantly, may be due to its larger size and front surface, even with the same twitter, the high and mids of the SuperOne is not as resolve and clean as the SuperZero. The sound stage is also not as wide and deep as the SuperZero. Since even SuperOne still require a subwoofer, it is far better to get the SuperZero with a good musical subwoofer. For those also have HT in mind, using 5, 7 even 9 SuperZero plus a subwoofer or two will get you not only a speaker system that meets both audiophile and HT applications, but also very budget friendly and certainly best value.
Review: Had the originals from ‘96 - I do have two sets of the originals from 1996 made in California, and while these are now made in China, they are still designed and engineered in California. The new crossovers that they put in really make a big difference they sound bright and clean and beautiful well worth the money. Also, they can be placed directly on the wall because they do not have or need space behind them they are completely sealed. NHT (Now Hear This) is a solid company that cares about good sound. Do not hesitate. Remember you will absolutely need a subwoofer as these are only two-way speakers

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these speakers efficient enough run off my 50 watt per Yamaha receiver which I find a little under powered**
A: I use them with a Yamaha RX-371 for rear surround speakers in my bedroom.  I think my Yamaha is around 80-100 watts (80 for the rear).  I would find it hard to believe that 50 watts wouldn't comfortably drive them but I can't say that for sure.  Buy a pair from Amazon Prime.  Try them out with your equipment.  It's a small charge to send them back.  I think the NHT speakers are the best bang for the buck.  I've bought them on and off over the last 20 years.  I had a pair installed in each stateroom on my sailboat.  Nothing compared to their sound while crossing the Caribbean!

**Q: Any way to hang these on a wall?**
A: This speaker sounds very good at ear level height a good pair of speaker stands is all you need and are safer than wall hanging.

**Q: Can I plug in a speaker wire with a 1/4-inch plug?**
A: Not without an adapter of some sort.  It takes bare wire or banana plugs directly.

**Q: Is there any reason to buy these over the superone? aside from cost. i will not be using a sub.**
A: Very different speakers.  If you're not using a sub, you want the SuperOne. The SuperZero has no bass and is designed to be used with a subwoofer. By themselves, they're quite unfulfilling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What is important to know...
*by P***E on December 26, 2025*

Hi-Fi sound on a budget -The speaker grills are a tight fit. These are fine speakers, if you are space challenged and want a "Hi-Fi" level of sound on a budget. They need a sub-woofer, and a medium power amplifier to reach their full potential, which is quite good across their bandwidth, with little coloration. They also work very well by themselves on a desktop, for sound mixing. This is my second pair and they are improved in all almost all aspects with the exception of the speaker grills. The grills are very hard to pull off, which was not he case with previous pair made in California. I contacted NHT. They explained that their manufacture in China made the tolerances a bit tight, thinking that most buyers will not remove the covers. That maybe the case, but in most studio applications the covers come off. They recommended using a credit card to pry off the grills, which takes a some effort to do. NHT is an established company with good customer service. They also provide a five year warranty which is rare at any price point. As good as these speakers are, there are lot options out there if space is not a problem. Such as the Cambridge X50 and Sony-SS-CS5M2 both usually under $250 and they don't require a sub for music listening. But if your space is limited these are about as good as you can get...
