Mr. Yamaha
Not so much Yamaha lately...
The 'factory matched pair' (aren't they all) for almost 7 grand?There has been a pair of the NS-2000s on the PHX CL for a while now ...

I know nothing about these speakers, their value, etc. They do seem rare however.The 'factory matched pair' (aren't they all) for almost 7 grand?

You can get NS-2000's delivered from Japan for about half that, and almost certainly they'll be in better condition.
Sure, but even with the import duty you get a pair of NS-2000's for under $5000. They're easily worth that.I'm just trying to verify which pair you mean
That's exactly what I meant, indeed. Unfortunately for the Dutch there's a 35% import charge over everything (value, shipping cost, insurance, etc.).
I have to admit, that was a loaded question pertaining to the MX-1000, but MX-10000?Duh, C-1.
That said, all of my Yammie preamps (even the mighty CX-10000) are sidelined in favor of the best sounding line stage I've heard, a Horn Shoppe "The Truth".
Yes.
the C-85 is a nice pre...it has the loudness control. I had one and a C-80 before and a CX-800 too.
The CX-800 is also nice because it has the remote and still has the loudness control. Tht said, CX-1000 is in another league....
I am working on rebuilding my C-1, then I will see how the CX-1000 fares against some real competition teaser...I know what Mark will say
that would be interesting...Actually after further research I'm also considering the C-70 and CX-1 as well...there seems to be some consternation round these parts concerning the loudness control. I'm not under any sort of misconception that any one of these pre's don't color/affect the sound in some way, I just happen to like the way Yamaha does it. I most certainly commend those in the quest for utter neutrality.
I thought Mark said in another thread that his CX-10000 needs a refurb...so what about the C-1 vs. the CX-10k running on all ten cylinders?

"The Truth" has wonderful synergy with my amplifier, and is amazingly transparent - the least colored preamp I've ever heard.Would you care to share any commentary on what you feel it does better sonically?
They seem to have quite a following, I wonder what's inside the box. Love their mascot.
I have to admit, that was a loaded question pertaining to the MX-1000, but MX-10000? That makes you the second person with an impressive audio collection that prefers the C-1 to MX-10000, or to pretty much anything else.
Now not to highjack this thread tottaly, you had the chance to do an AB comparison between the NS-2000 and those infinities.
Do you mind sharing your thoughts?

What are your thoughts on the NS-2000 compared to the NS-1000xw?Thanks!
I need new speaker stands as the NS-2000's are much too large to use with the stands for my NS-1000xw's. I really like the design of the SPS-2000. They look elegant in either African Paddock or in black like Deaf_in_Left has for his NS-2000's.
Interested to hear too.What are your thoughts on the NS-2000 compared to the NS-1000xw?
The NS-2000's are more dynamic and have better bass response.What are your thoughts on the NS-2000 compared to the NS-1000xw?
