Very rare and capable speaker from NSMT featuring an extremely simple crossover network and super capable built-in powered subwoofers.
Sensitivity is 93db allowing the use of a very low-powered amplifier to maximize detail. You can use as little a 5W!
Heavily upgraded to squeeze every bit of performance from these beauties.
Upgrades include:
1) The base of the speaker was additionally fortified and the base and port were closely custom matched to the Sapele finish of the speaker
2) Eight (8) of these WBT speaker binding terminals ~ $1,001.95
3) Two (2) Jupiter capacitors for the crossover ~ $233.95 apiece
4) Two (2) Dueland resistors for the crossover ~ $122.75 apiece
These utilize a MINIMALIST crossover - a First Order Phase Coherent crossover - consisting ONLY of one capacitor and one resistor. True simplicity!
5) Eight (8) IsoAcoustics footers (Gaia II) ~ $618.00
The total cost of the speaker was $17,106.27
From many glowing reviews:
• "... the deepest most powerful ... drum whacks that I have ever heard." (Francisco Duran/Positive Feedback)
• "These unassuming speakers may be the best on the market today." (barany/Audiogon)
• "... these are the best speakers I have ever heard hands down." (sslide/Audiogon)
• "The bass was great on the Tektons (Ulfberht) but the bass on these is otherworldly, It's the best I've heard." (barany/Audiogon)
• "The Model 100 demonstrated ... how it could replicate the original time/space with wrap-around holographic immersion for a you-are-there sense that was greater than I ever experienced from a box speaker. The only times previouis I heard this was from a pair of omnidirectional MBL Radialstrahler E101 MkII." (Terry London/6moons)
