I owned a pair of NS2000's for several years. Posssible THE most accurate loudspeaker I have owned (and I have had many). However, it was not quite musical enough for me in the end. As an evaluation tool for associated companents, I suspect it would have few peers, even among todays more "modern" designs. If you value absolute neutrality and accuracy of reproduction, these are the speakers to own. Be aware though, that anything connected to them with be revealed ruthlessly - "warts and all". Beautiful construction with the Pear Wood cabinetry and the croosvers are an absolute work of art. I still hanker after them occasionaly ...
Has anyone heard the Yamaha NS 2000
Curious that no one on this site has reviewed or commented on these (at least nothing that I can find) Are these really as good as I've heard? I've owned electrostatics and spent some time with the Beveridge, Quads and Soundlab. Do they really sound like electrostatics?
It's curious and a bit conspicuous to me that just about everyone who has ever reviewed these has called them the best monitor ever made and has compared them to everyting from B&Ws to Quads to JBLs.
I'm happy with my main system, but might like a classic rock and roller (speaker) for a second system if it had lucid and extended mids and highs. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
