Is anyone still responding to Kinjit?
This is incorrect.
They are hardly used anymore at all. They have been surpassed by so many other monitors, it’s hard to count.
The NS10 have horrible frequency response. A huge (7db) peak at 2K, they are like 20 db down at 70 hz.
Modern recording engineers are baffled why they were ever so popular.
I’ve read comments on forums for recording engineers like; "I wouldn’t use them if they were offered to me for free, and quite frankly, I would be offended if they were offered to me".
Let me add, that I believe (I’m not the only one) that many people mistake that 2K bump as being ’revealing’, since it is close to the ’presence’ region, where the ears are most sensitive.
I have a friend that used to design speakers for a living (Harmon industries in Los Angeles). He once made minor modifications to a pair of NS10 crossovers to remove the hump (a simple mod, with no other changes made to the crossovers), and they ended up sounding ridiculously mundane and pedestrian.
They are too revealing not distorting. They are used by the best recording studios. They could choose any speaker they like.
