Regarding: "i WISH NHT would make a "super zero" with high quality woofers & tweeters and with edge radiusing for diffraction reduction"
The NHT "Absolute" Zero to some might be what you describe. I use 4 in home theater but never warmed up to them for two channel. The NHT Superzero and Superone are pretty special in that regard. As a former owner of multiple sets of LS3/5a I would say the SZ is a serious competitor to the 3/5a in many areas except fake-ish bass hump. But the SZ can be blended well with a top flight sub and the LS3/5a is not meant for a sub (except perhaps Rogers AB1, which were great). LS3/5a is so special IMO, who really needs a sub anyway?
Get a pair of cheapo used Super Zeros and the best sub you can afford and feed the habit. I use the JL Audio e110 in combination. Incredible!
