Yamaha NS 5000

Anybody know if or when the Yamaha NS 5000 speaker will hit the US shores? There was a great thread on A’Gon on this new speaker but it is now deleted? Other than an Australian and UK review I do not see too much conversation about this speaker. I am intrigued because Doug Schneider (of SoundstageHiFi.com) said in a blog post that these new speakers were the best sounding ones at the Tokyo audio show that also had other top line speakers.

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.

Yeah @wolf_garcia put me onto this, everyone needs one in their arsenal, they can work wonders.
Can't wait if Schiit to maybe bring out a + version with 10 band instead of 4. I emailed them, they said maybe?

Cheers George
