These are possibly the coolest speakers Yamaha ever made and by far their most famous. They were ground breaking at the time, as they used actual BERYLLIUM for the midrange and tweeter diaphragms!

Subsequently they made a million different cheaper variations of the NS-1000's to cash in on the fame and attention these received. But don't be fooled, these are the original Holy Grail version which every audiophile should own at some point.

Made of solid wood these weigh in at over 65 lbs each. The gigantic woofer baskets and magnets probably add substantially to the weight.

These are the "M" studio version, identifiable by the tone controls mounted in the front which makes them much more desirable than the home model.

The drivers on these speakers are absolutely perfect and work as if they were new. They were fully tested in our listening room AND in our lab where they passed with flying colors.

The cabinets have been around the block and feature a bunch of light scratches which we did our best at touching up. From three feet back they look great, but upon close inspection will reveal the scratches if you're looking at a specific angle.
