Deal of the year. 50W RMS, 100W musical. Personally, I find or 2 Watts is quite loud on these monitors at 12 feet. These have the cleanest middle range and voice I've heard outside of an electrostatic (which I own), and I've heard a fair number of other box type speakers from Wilson, Mirage to Vandersteen and they all do something different and sometimes their bass blends better, but none were quite as "right" or live as the lowly Yams. They can make bass, and are good to about 35Hz, but need room treatment and boundary reinforcement is usually welcome. If you can accommodate their demands, their presentation is up there with some $15000 speakers.
Yamaha NS 1000M Find
I lucked out and found a pair for $30 yesterday with scratching on the tops, and bottoms of the cabinets, and a dented midrange screen, but otherwise nice. Sounds worse then it is.
I have to really run them through some paces, but I was not that impressed initially.
One question about power rating. I know many speakers rated at 100 WPC can handle more, but with the beryllium tweeters, is it risky to feed them 150 WPC?
I have a pair of Polk SDA's that are some sort of variant on the SDA 2's. Possibly some sort of prototype SDA's. Anyway the Polks can handle anything, and sound great. I am running a Sansui AU 919 with the Polks, and I know that the Yamaha's would be fine with the 919, but I may like to have more power. Thoughts?
