Yamaha NS 5000
Here's the review on the NS-3000's...they said the NS-5000's are a better buy if you have the room. We will have to wait and see if Yamaha comes out with a NS-4000 https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://www.lowbeats.de/erster-test-kompaktbox-yamaha-ns-3000/ |
Bought my NS-5000's from Shelley's last year. We have also seen NS-5000 in parts at Yamaha's Innovation Road museum in Hamamatsu, Japan. The display says it was designed by a team of young engineers. The tweeter and midrange are 4 ohm designs. The woofer is 6 ohms. Max input power is 600 watts. The mitered plywood and deep gloss finish are straight out of their grand piano division. The woofer is the most vivid I have heard in terms of revealing instruments. It barley moves even at high volumes driven by 500 watt Ice Module monoblocks. The dome midrange is an ingenious low mass solution. My problem was my wife refused to buy a speaker taller than she is, 5 feet even. That rules out many fine choices. She was up at the desk paying for these before I had made my mind up. Three of a kind drivers are what those young engineers achieved. It spoils you. |
@incorrigable Congrats. I also finally bought the NS5000 and every time play music on it is a revelation. Those 3 drivers are something special. The fact that you bought it from Shelley's says a lot since they have it demoed in the worst possible room. |
