amp to mate with NHT speakers

What you have is essentially two tweeters in a box. Or, at best, a
tweeter and upper-upper midrange. It's gonna sound bright. It can't
help it.
Nope. Can't get much midrange out of a sub-woofer and two tweeters...
And it is not so much that the speakers are "bright" as the entire
middle is missing leaving you with _only_ the bright. And, sadly, that
is about the size of it, pun intended.
The response of the super zeroes starts to roll of at ~150Hz, reaching -6dB
at 88Hz. Is it unreasonable to expect my subwoofer, which can cross over as
high as 140Hz, to pick up the slack on the midrange? Of course this is in
an anechoic chamber, which my livingroom is certainly NOT.
I had a look at the Ethan Winer acoustic treatments site, and I'd like to
experiment with room treatments, but the room just isn't built to
accomodate... A majority of the space on two walls is windows, another wall
is a large mirror above a fireplace, and there is art on most of the
remaining walls.
Wonder how she'd feel about 4" rigid yellow fiberglass insulation on the
whole ceiling? Probably even more unhappy than seeing the Cornwalls moving
back down the hallway into the room...
