I miss frying them all the time. :) I crank my mixes up super-loud, so I
*don't* miss the fatigue and headaches that those super-tweeters gave me
after a few hours.

Oops. I suppose it'd be good to actuallt type in a response!
I drive my NS-10M's w/ a Bryston 4B (250 watts/side). I seldom use them,
preferring my old Tannoy SGM 10B's, but I have to admit that the NS-10M's
are great for checking the stereo image. Where the Tannoys sometimes seem
a little hazy in the center the NS-10's are rock solid. They're good for
checking relationships in the mix (especially vocals), but I still love
my Tannoys. My real secret weapon, however, is my JVC PC-V2 Boombox w/ Hyper
Bass. No mix leaves without passing the boombox test at high, low and very
low volumes. I have another in case this one dies, but if they both kick
the bucket I may have to retire!

Hey Grant, I've used my JVC kaboom for mixing a few times as well. The basss
is unreal, but
man, the mids are great for checking guitar and voice.

The thing that's cool about my JVC boombox is that the "Hyperbass" and the
peizo tweeters exacerbate any problems I may have in the highs and lows.
If everything sits right at high AND low volumes - and I'm talking about
low enough to talk over without straining - then it'll probably translate
to most any other system.

Dont forget to put the little piece of toilet paper over the tweeters for
the
authentic NS10 experience!!!
