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.

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

yzsantabarbara Are you on our discord? If not come on by and have a chat with us. Same website has the link that I mentioned.

As for 9H vs NS5000, thats a tough one. The NS5000 is of course much cheaper and has a super impressive soundstage.. but the 9H is no slouch and the ARC room correction makes it very versatile. From what I heard both great speakers.

Im surprised your father only  preferred NS5000 slightly over 3H. I know that for me the 9H is far far superior to even the 7F. And if we say 9H is in the same class of performance as the NS5000 than it shoudl be very comfortably beyond 3H. But of course this is all subjective :)

Also to be fair I did not hear NS5000 vs any persona, back to back on the same exact system, so take my views wtih a grain.
