Hi Everyone,
I just thought I'd post because I just got a set of the orginal NS10M speakers,
and they are awesome! I've never had a mix translate so well in all my life.
I can hear the reverbs better. I can fix probelms in the mids that I couldn't
hear before. The detail in incredible.
These little babies are in every studio because they are fantastic. Don't
believe the hype that they suck. I don't know what's wrong with people who
bash these things.
If you don't own a set of these, go buy one before you die! I would honestly
take a bullet before giving these things up.
Mike

I wonder how much of the ear fatigue applies to the studio series, because
these really aren't all that bright, at least not at the really high end.
And, I don't monitor at high volumes. I guess time will tell.
As for the low end, I am in the market for a sub. :)
But, I started mixing with these, and it was like putting on an old, comfortable
pair of shoes. I just knew them instantly. My first crack at a mix on them
sounded exactly the same in the car. It was a perfect translation. I love
thses things.
There are so many people who bash these speakers, but I am so glad to have
them and wanted to though my 2 cents into the debate about them.
All the best,
Mike

I have been using NS10's pretty much exclusively since'the early 80's when
they first came out. When you live with them long enough, you can figure
out the low bass just by watching the cones... That said, I added a sub
to them aroung 2000, and I
really like the combo. I have also used Tannoys (8") for about that
long, too, and the combo works nice. I have the Central Station
for monitoring, with the adjustable sub out, and use it on both sets, though
I love the ablilty to easily turn it off, too.
As for fatigue, I can;t begin to count the number of 12 hour + days I have
spent on them and don't feel fatigued, and my ears test out just fine. I
do monitor very quietly, and if certain playbacks need to be loud, I usually
switch to the Tannoys.
Love the way they translate...

Hi John,
I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. :)
I wonder if a lot of the criticism is actually directed at the Studio version.
It's response curve looks like it extends more into the high, high end and
has less of a mid bump. Who knows.
I never thought I'd say this about anything, but I love them more than PARIS.
:)
Cheers!
Mike

I also think the main reason people don't like them is they underpower them--when
you light them up with some good power, like 250 watts per side, the completely
change for the better. Both of my pairs are powered with Yamaha P2201's,
about 250/side.
You can't imagine the difference...
