superzero woofers aren't really the issue, it's the tweeters

i had no issues with the bass (extremely limited as it is) through the entire midrange, but above 5,000Hz or so, superzero tweeters are just too low resolution and sluggish. a good aluminum or titanium dome will runn circles around superzero heavy cloth treated domes. even mission and celestion soft domes are better.

if NHT wants to sell me superzeros ever again, they'll have to get rid of those tweeters. i'd buy a pair with the original woofers and crossovers if they only swapped them for dayton's (MB quart) titanium tweeters which are only $16 each retail and have a ton more speed and resolution with a slightly more forgiving sound than aluminum. a planar or folded ribbon would be even better and worth another $100 to me
If it's ported, it's distorted.
