thinking of replacing older 1.5 with these speakers. How do they compare?

I have a 9 speaker nht surround system in my living room upstairs. I still use (2) 1.5s as the front mains an older one as the center and (2) newer super ones you are inquiring about. I also have (4) zeros 2 old and 2 new as dolby type surround speakers. it isn`t a perfect surround but they all blend well together. you can see I like nht speakers. the new super ones are good sounding speakers but they are not 1.5s. I love the 1.5s still today. if you are planning to use the new super ones to replace for listening to 2 channel stereo I don`t think they hit the lows as well as a 1.5. a fine speaker but I prefer to use a nice sounding sub to round out the bottom end in my system. for 2 speaker listening the 1.5s can stand on their own. I don`t care what purists say but listening to music in this 9.1 speaker nht surround system is divine especially with a Marantz sr7013 to power them. hope this helps

Do you need a sub with these speaks? I listen mainly to jazz/swing. Thanks.

If you're using them close to a wall, in a room that's not very large, you might get away without one. Keep in mind, the more low bass these are asked to deal with l the more the sound quality suffers. I use mine in my bedroom and don't need a sub, but I will use one soon.

Do these speakers compare with $500-$1000 bookshelf speakers or not really?

They sound perfect to me. It's like I've found the sound I've been looking for. For me there probably isn't another speaker that can do that. I've tried about 13 pairs of bookshelf speakers ranging up to $1000, and they were no competition. I know this sounds strange, but that's how it's worked for me. Good Luck!
