yamaha NS-10

Is the Yamaha NS-10 any good? I know the NS line is pretty much the bomb... Never heard of a 10 though..

NS-10M? Legendary studio monitors, still highly sought after. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep08/articles/yamahans10.htm

Look like this?

They are the monitors they use in studios to replicate the sound characteristics of TVs, lower end stereos and car stereos.

Not really warm or easy to listen to over time.

I know I used to sit in an edit bay that had a pair for 8 hours a day.

I guess they would be fine in a secondary system and a sub would really help.

They can be rather spendy ($200-400) so if you get them cheap and don't like them they should be easy to move along.

Good luck and let us know what you think.

they are available for $75 with a receiver. If somebody wants to beat me to them, no hard feelings here!

Looks like a great deal!!

Thanks for the help.

The NS-10T's are not quite the NS-10M. The T's are the consumer version that went for quite a bit cheaper.

I liked the sound of the Franklins when I sold them to a musician.

I have the larger Yamaha NS 70T (similar to the NS 6xx type speakers) very good sounding.

Listen to them, you may like them!

You Sir are a man after my own heart.

I think you know what I'm getting at.

Didn't listen to them for long, just enough to confirm all drivers were working. No competition for the NS-200M's I had at about the same time.
