Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker


In the next two weeks my Stereo Times review on the new NSMT Loudspeakers reference System Two will be posted. I wanted to give a heads-up to the GON members because I consider the System Two, which is composed of the Clairvoyant Monitor and SUB-DUO active band-pass subwoofer platforms to be a revolutionary break through both in performance and retail price $15,985. For example I compare the NSMT System Two to a great speaker, the Stenheim Alumine Five SE Dynamic Loudspeaker, and found the NSMT System Two to be superior in it's performance. Punch line- The Stenheim Alumine retails for $72,000! For all the details of why I came to the above conclusions take a look at the review when it is posted.

Terry London, it is fascinating to me that every audio webzine seems to have its own "house character". I would characterize you and your brethren at Stereotimes as having a tendency to heap hyperbole upon the ordinary.

For example, this review; https://v2.stereotimes.com/post/the-acoustic-zen-adagio-loudspeaker/

In the above review, the author stated;

"The cabinetry is furniture grade and the finish on both, the figured maple and mappa burl, is highlighted with a high gloss lacquer. Aesthetically they’ll make an excellent addition to any listening room and if you can place them in the vicinity of a window that receives the early morning sun, visually you’ll be in for a special treat. After admiring the craftsmanship for an extended amount of time, I plugged them in the system."

Well, I owned these speakers and the cabinets were not furniture grade, they were instead mass produced cheaply constructed cabinets from China that had some form of inferior chip board that easily crumbled with stress (for example, at the base where spikes could be inserted) disguised with a high tech paint job.

And in the above review one was lead to believe that the drivers were made in-house when anyone with half a brain would know such to false-I knew that going in.

So now let's come to the review sub judice. Where are the drivers sourced from? Where are the cabinets manufactured? How are the drivers secured to the cabinet (nice to know since drivers do come loose from time to time and/or need to be replaced)? These things DO matter. And I am sorry, Sir, but a competent loudspeaker review imho involves rotating at least one and preferably two different amplifier designs into the review so the reader can anticipate how their own amp will pair with speaker under review.

Guys, here is the link to NSMT website.  You can read about cabinets, drivers and anything you want to know about NSMT speaker parts and construction just follow this link.
