Yamaha NS 5000

They not only sound superb but they measure superbly too.Which at least in part explains why they sound so completely "right" and natural.
And unlike most modern high end speakers are an easy load.That is how a well engineered speaker should measure.Not like so many modern speakers with their impedance dropping down below 3 ohm so you need a monster power amp/arc welder to drive them properly.Many of them also have lifted bass and treble to make them sound more impressive but which causes listener fatigue and which is simply not accurate.This is an excellent review with detailed measurements.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&...

If you look at the gallery pictures here you will find a picture of the  NS5000s set up in a sound room.They sound superb in there.Any of my audio friends who have heard them in this system have been very impressed.It looks nothing special but sounds really good.Note the acoustic panels behind them which are a Yamaha product and must be there for a reason.Wrong West Coast for you though yyzsantabarbara!
