The answers are:d. All of the above.
In most instances, the Classic Four will provide a better musical experience than the Evolution because of the lower distortion, wide dispersion design. Evolutions do have an edge in bass performance, however.
Compared to a T5, the Four will have a more spacious, "open" sound and more resolution. The bass will likely have a little more "thump" on the Four, vs a more precisely tracked and rendered bass on the T5/T6. I suspect the Four will play marginally louder than the T5, but not quite as loud as the T6. I also suspect that few people will need or have interest in the X2/A1 add on.
They do compete with each other. The Evos are deemed to be more "custom installation" and the Classic is more "retail/audiophile"
Both speakers are high-end in their own way, the Evos being more forgiving of bad environments and the Classics making the most of good ones. Each has their own strengths.

What are some reasonably priced amplifiers that you reccomend to drive NHT speakers?? When I say reasonably priced I mean maybe in the $2500 range for a pre-amp/power amp combo.
Thanks
But probably will never own because I'll be full digital active.......
So NAD is a good match with NHT?? Any others you reccomend that work well with NHT, im considering a used pair of 2.9's or the Cassic 4. Still searching for a speaker for the basement to replace the Klipsch RF-7's.
Yes, the combo works very well. I also like stuff like YBA, C-J, McCormack, but there are lots of good amps. All you can do is get the speakers in your room, then spend some time auditioning. I brought up the NAD M3 because it gives you the best bang/buck of anything I've ever seen before and is a supercharged version of the overwhelmingly great NAD Silver Series S300 which was a big hit in Europe. The Four will have a bigger, more open, detailed, more spacious sound than the 2.9 with a bit more thump on the bottom. Imagine the Goldi but with tighter, more detailed bass, more detailed and more spacious upper mids, a more refined treble.
Thanks for the info. I would love to know how the 4 will compare to the older 2.9. It should be better I would think?
