Yamaha NS 5000

It looks like the NS 5000 finally hit Canada but not the USA yet. Anybody who went to the recent audio show in Toronto and heard these speakers want to chime in one their impressions. The most recent reviews I have read have been rather conflicting. 

This reviewer does not understand the accolades thrown towards the speaker:

While the followup in the same site contradicts that review.

I am about to place an order for the Magico A3 speaker but I always wanted to hear the Yamaha NS 5000. Now that it may come to the USA and I could easily get it from Canada (I have non-audiophile family in Toronto)  this speaker has re-emerged as a candidate to consider. So any feedback would be appreciated.

Heard the ns5000 today at Toronto audiofest and I can say that it was one of the best speakers at the show. Incredible big live Dynamic Sound with one of the most impressive sound stages I've ever heard. Will do a write-up of my full impressions of the show on my website Sonic Visions dot Org

@smodtactical; So your dealer was mistaken when he said you would not like the sound of the Yamaha NS 5000 if you liked the Paradigm Persona 9H. My dad heard the Persona 3F and then the Yamaha NS 5000 and preferred the Yamaha a little bit more (Yamaha is 50% more expensive speaker). He went to the same dealer as you.

Looking forward to reading your impressions. I would be interested in what you thought of the the imaging, the separation and laying of instruments. Only review that was not so positive view on the NS 5000 was the Soundstage.com Australia reviewer who said the sound seemed tied to the speakers baffle. However, he was contradicted next month by his colleague who basically said the speaker was amazing.

My dad told me that the NS 5000 would be too big for my upstairs office. What do you think at low to mid volume levels?

I have a bigger room downstairs which I am thinking either the Yamaha or Persona 9H. Leaning more towards the 9H for the downstairs since it is bigger and heavier and harder for a toddler to mess around with.

according to this review it has a horribly ruler flat response. I havent heard them but it looks like they would need to be custom tuned to match your hearing.

If you need to do that, then enter the discrete direct coupled Shiit Loki for $149.
Amazingly transparent tool for changing the color of a speaker.
