They are one of the greats IMHO. Super accurate, very loud and quite heavy.
A tad lacking in the bass but otherwise a very nice sounding speaker.
The NS 2000 solves any of the problems with the larger woof and at around twice the initial price.
They are tough to find parts for and always expensive when you do. Yamaha had some of the parts still available but at extremely high prices.
Probably one of Yamahas best ever speakers.
