I have not heard the NrT. I just know that you upgrading to the RAAL really is not easy (send it back and let Ascend do it is best), so if you can afford the RAAL I would do it.
I have the Towers w/RAAL and the Horizon W/ RAAL and they are wonderful. The combination of the RAAL and dedicated mid driver really do a great job dealing with the vocal range. On my old setup I would stop and rewind part of a program when I missed some dialog. Now I only do it if someone is talking during my program (shame on them!!).
