Not that it is relevant in your case, but I wonder how the resale value will be on the NS5000? I wish you could have heard them in a better room, I can sense your not being totally sure, and selling them if that 1% of not knowing grows after purchase could be a big hurt.
Yamaha NS 5000
Anybody know if or when the Yamaha NS 5000 speaker will hit the US shores? There was a great thread on A’Gon on this new speaker but it is now deleted? Other than an Australian and UK review I do not see too much conversation about this speaker. I am intrigued because Doug Schneider (of SoundstageHiFi.com) said in a blog post that these new speakers were the best sounding ones at the Tokyo audio show that also had other top line speakers.
