All New Yamaha NS-2000A Loudspeakers Are On The Market

I was debating about selling my gear in my Livingroom and getting the new KEF LS60, because I love the Blade design. However, I could not sell my Livingroom gear because I like it too much and I would regret it.

Then I considered the KEF Blade which is too big and hard to place in my room. Common sense says not to get it even though that would be my favorite.

The next choice is my old choice from a few years ago. The Yamaha NS5000, placement is a lot easier and my very neutral sounding gear will match perfectly with the slightly warm NS5000. I have demoed the NS5000 before and it is a great sounding speaker.

The new models mentioned on this thread may not be pure Zylon. I did not read the press release too carefully.

I worked for a dealer back in the 70s when a flash flood filled the building with 7 feet of water.  When we finally allowed to access to the building, there was still about 2 feet of water in the building, slowing seeping out the gap in the bottom of the front door.  It looked like an aquarium.  The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of NS1000A floating face down in dirty, filthy, flood waters.  A sickening feeling to say the least.

I'm expecting the NS2000A to be an instant success in the US.  Just keep them dry.

Copies of Polk speakers. Copies of everyone’s speakers for that matter! Anyone even considering these needs to have their HiFi license revoked.

From the Yamaha website:

For each and every one of its speaker units, the NS-2000A employs the newly developed Harmonious Diaphragm™ - made from a blend of ZYLON®, which has excellent sound velocity and minimal internal dissipation, and spruce, which is actually used in the soundboard of Yamaha grand pianos and is essential for emanating sound.

So not 100%.

The NS-2000A looks quite different from the NS-2000!

I just Googled these speakers.  They really look nice.  Their specs indicated they play down to 34 HZ.  I wonder what they sound like?
