Am thinking hard about purchasing Super Twos up front, Super Ones in back and Super Center. The reviews on www.audioreview.com list both HT and audiophile comments, so I would like to get some feedback about these speakers in a home environment.
PS: I will be driving these with a Marantz SR-880 Mark II at 110 Watts RMS for front three and 60 W RMS for the rears.

I do and I love them!
Driving mine with a Marantz SR-8000, but I have the superones up front, the supercenter and the superzeroes in the rear. Complemented them with a Velodyne CT-12 and I LOVE THE SETUP.
I have them in an open style living room and they wrok wonders. Have not heard the supertwos, since I could not use them given my limited space for placements.
I cannot say enough good things about these speakers. The key thing with them is to have a quality receiver. Marantz definitely fits that bill. The main reason is if you have any weakness in the receiver, the NHT speakers will show it in a pronounced way.

I have five super zeros and the sw2pi set up. I am very happy with them.

add another happy NHTer. I use SuperOnes for the mains, a SuperCenter, and two SuperZeros in the rear. Driven by an Onkyo TX-DS575. I have not listened to the SuperTwo's, but i'll bet they rock.
All that is missing from my set-up is the real low bass (<60 Hz). i plan to add a sub this x-mas if the wife allows it.

bassethound,
if she lets you, look at the Velodyne CT-12 and the Klipsch KSW12. They were my two favorites for the money. Went with the Velodyne because my wife and I liked it a bit better as well as the place where I got the rest of my stuff carried Velo but not Klipsch and it just made things easier.

No I don't.
Find a shop that has the velo before you decide. I do think you will be blown away....If you can't I'm sure you will be happy with what you can find..
Wait til you get that sub. You will not believe the difference
