Yamaha NS-500 and NS-1000


How do these speakers hold up and compared to whats offered for $1000.00 or less today.

I'm interested in the smaller two way NS-500.
Anyone familiar with them and how they compare to modern speakers. Please comment.
Thanks

I remember going into the local hifi shop and drooling over both of them when I was in high school. They pop up every now and again here and on ebay. Both models in good shape still command relatively a high price in the used market. But speaker design has improved since their heyday. I would say if you have SS electronics, like rock and like to crank it up, they would still be very enjoyable even today. Unless there is a nostalgia factor you probably would be better off with a newer design.
