I owned a pair for 5 years back in 1979 - bought new. Sold them for what I paid for them, but I still miss them.
In fact, the Coincident Super Eclipse IIs I bought 4+ years ago were obtained in the somewhat rare black finish to remind me of the old Yammies.
Great top end and midrange. Wonderful depth in the bass, but a little slow. I used to drive them with a 100w class A sand amp - one of Kostas Metaxas early efforts, before he went all boutique. Really controlled that 12 inch paper cone.
There is an inmate on Audio Asylum who runs NS1000s in a studio and emailed me the measured response. His room was almost flat down to 30 Hz, which made me sit up. He loves the Yammies.
Regards,
