Price Paid:  $1000.00 from Sound Systems, Amari

Summary:
Been an audio/video nut since the 70's and owned more gear than I can recall. The F12's replace NHT Classic 3's, which, though exceptionally refined, were too inefficient to fill more than 500 sq. ft., with big sound and never would play loud enough to shake the paint. The F12's hit me (us) in all the right places: musical from top to bottom, efficient, can fill a large space, will romp-n-stomp or reproduce with delicacy, and sound just as good with movies as with music. Yes, the F12's are monkey coffins, but damn fine boxes, nonetheless. Money well spent.

Strengths:
Extended, tuneful lows, accurate midrange, detailed highs. Clean crossover points. No love hump on the low end. Broad sound stage. Musical. Detailed without sounding etched; never strident or glassy when played loud. Easy to drive and fills 1,200 square feet with loud, clean music. Efficient. Well made. Just as impressive with movie dialogue and soundtracks as with music.

Weaknesses:
Nothing to gripe about for the price.
