NXT has raised their price to ~$650. I bought mine over a year ago for ~$450 shipped. I was going to buy a set for my other C5 when I discovered this but got a great deal on a scratched set of GHL Bullets from CCA a month ago. They cost me less than the NXT system and look/sound better. But, if not for the great deal, I still would have gone with the NXT's. They are Chinese-made but they are that good.

That proves their system has better demand than expected, due to the quality (as you and others have told us). With that said, I think you can still get them cheaper than $650 if you ask for best price shipped?

GHL's are a bit deeper and have less resonance. I like both though and, as I said, would have the NXT's if the price had not increased so dramatically so quickly. I knew I should have ordered two.

KB, I'm sure price fluctuations are there but the GHL's were irresitable and cheaper yet.
