kelossus Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 Further Information: Ebony variation of the classic NS1000M speakers. Drivers are absolutely mint and function 100%, no dust or anything on the domes, no pitting. They look great. Cabinets aren't mint and one cabinet has a little damage at the bottom as shown in the pictures. Outside of that they are in really good condition with only a few light marks. Grilles included and matching serial numbers 10006L and 10006 R. Stands are not included. Happy to audition. 8 2
georgehifi Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Great speaker they love tubes never going below 5ohms. https://tinyurl.com/yll6urz6 Called the NS-1000 the "Ebony" is actually said to sound even better than the plain black NS1000M (monitor), as they have the same drivers/xovers, but the Ebony has 8kg more weight each because of additional real "Yamaha piano wood" (that didn't make the piano "sound" grade) glued over the M box, and this stiffens it much more, equaling less box resonances. NS-1000M (black) Enclosure Dimensions (HxWxD): 675x375x326mm Weight:31kg (each speaker) NS-1000 "Ebony". Enclosure Dimensions (HxWxD): 710xX395x349 mm Weight:39kg (each speaker) GLWTS Cheers George Edited November 5, 2023 by georgehifi 4 1
Jehuty Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Agreed. Great pricing as I've seen the regular NS1000M asking for around $2k. I thought I would see an asking price around $3k when I clicked on this ad... 1
kelossus Posted November 5, 2023 Author Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) I think whoever demo's the speakers will buy them. They sound fantastic hooked up to a little Accuphase integrated. Edited November 5, 2023 by kelossus 1

Yamaha_man Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Great speakers, I still have my first pair. Highly recommended.

mfforever Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Very, very beautiful and a great price too ....... GLWTS ( and must add that I've had 2 pairs of of the 1000 M and I can say personally I have never heard ANY speaker at any price point do VOICES better......... they also do so many other things really well ........ and compared to the same price for buying new there is nothing in the ball park ......... ) and ......... as I have always said ....... everyone should have had a pair of Yammie 1000 in their audio life before the BIG crossover comes ( you know what I mean ) PS : Sorry kelossus ...... a personal plug to be replied only on PM as one should never derail an ongoing sale thread ........ I also want to hear before the BIG crossover some big Tannoys and also some big horns ...... I am no longer in a financial position to buy them and then move them on ..... live in Sydney and can bring very nice wine and fantastic food/BBQ/ nibbles. ..... living in audio hope.
