Yamaha NS 5000

I thought the tweeter in the salon2 was a little soft but also the best I’ve heard so far. I just invested heavily into my speakers or I would probably order a pair. Md has the 60 day guarantee on them.

I had the Salon1 and I blew the tweeter out 2x. I think it was during the advent of SACD and the high frequencies on DSD must have done it.

I am surprised to hear you say the Salon2 twitter is soft since I thought it was made of Be.

I had the salon1 before the 2, bought both used, but the salon 1 was voiced with more presence making the tweeter in that model sound more forward and really made live recordings sound more ‘live’. the salon2 tweeter had all the detail without ever sounding hot. 

They not only sound superb but they measure superbly too.Which at least in part explains why they sound so completely "right" and natural.
And unlike most modern high end speakers are an easy load.That is how a well engineered speaker should measure.Not like so many modern speakers with their impedance dropping down below 3 ohm so you need a monster power amp/arc welder to drive them properly.Many of them also have lifted bass and treble to make them sound more impressive but which causes listener fatigue and which is simply not accurate.This is an excellent review with detailed measurements.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&...
