Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000
Please keep us up to date as to your choice, and a review on those amazing speakers! No limit on power. The more the better. Don’t believe the 100W is enough dribble. The more effortless an amp,can drive speakers, the better it sounds. My speakers are rated at 250W, I drive them with 650W monos. Absolute effortless sound, never will clip, or have distortion, I don’t play at extreme levels these days, only sometimes, but I know the sound, and how far to push the speakers. Enjoy the hunt. |
Just finished reading a lot about those Yammy speakers. 12” woofer, that’s,not really a bookshelf,but a wicked badas* speaker for stands as shown! Congrats, they are a,wicked,speaker!! I heard the ns-555 , loved them, I’m sure these 5000’s are so much better! Please keep us informed ....... would love to hear the review of your experience with the speakers! |
@yyzsantabarbara they look amazing. had an old pair of altec Lansing m-510’s w the diaphragm mid and tweeter. Sounded great, but the bass was lacking! Returned them,now I wish I had kept them, nice wood veneer finish, great sound miss them! Would sound great w my 2nd kismet system. the yammys look wicked! should have wicked sound from the 12” woofer.and matching mid & tweeter. please post a review when you have time! |
What a question. You already have 300W @8 Ohm. which would be great w those speakers. As you will need the headroom for crescendos and power chords, song ending power chords, etc ! i would keep the minimum of 300WPC rms, for any speaker. The Mcintosh 500W monos, new McCormack amps , Sanders Magtech, or maybe trade in for the 7B monos? or try the 350W Rob Carver Raven monos. Btw, those 4b’s are great amps https://www.bobcarvercorp.com/crimson-raven |
