We all know Yamaha makes a wide variety of products from motorbikes to grand pianos. A bit of audiophile snobbery might dismiss the brand entirely when it comes to the line of the beryllium based loudspeakers they produced. Perhaps even more criticism can be found when comparing a speaker like this to small recording studio staples like their NS10, which engineers keep around for if no other reason than to know this: If a mix sounds good on THEM, they'll sound good on ANYTHING. They really do sound terrible. It could be seen as a tragedy that the gorgeous NS2000 is often overlooked by the highest of the high end, or seen as a small victory for those who have experienced them; They know something many others do not. They know these speakers give up next to nothing in terms of sonic performance, and they are an understated 3-way masterpiece of speaker design.

Strength:
Fantastic realistic sound that has pleased me over many years.
Weakness:
Size and mass. I don't know what I'd do if I had to move. Wow! do a google on the internet and find others who own NS-2000 Yamaha's. Excellent. I was delighted to read even that other pairs exist out there in the world.

Strength:
Extreme clarity, pace, rythmn, timing, bass and presence. All you want from a speaker...good looking, accurate and ability to reproduce things you never heard before in a speaker.
Weakness:
Rarity...find one pair of these and you're lucky. I had to go to japan to get some. Bought these units from Akhibara-ten in Japan...a mecca for the best hifi equipment this side of SanFrancisco. Previously i had units by B&W and Dynaudio...also had the smaller Yamaha NS-1000X...which is one of the best speakers i ever heard until now. Excellent at everything but mainly i listen to rock and jazz. The 15inch carbon fibre woofer provides the necessary 'kick' to replicate quite closely a real drum. More fun than any speaker i ever had...audiophile qualities but will blow you away with power! Similar Products Used: B&W Nautilus 802 Yamaha NS-1000X |

Not as precise as some newer speakers - but they cost lots.
