Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000

Just finished reading a lot about those Yammy speakers.

 12” woofer, that’s,not really a bookshelf,but a wicked badas* speaker for stands as shown! Congrats, they are a,wicked,speaker!!
  I heard the ns-555 , loved them, I’m sure these 5000’s are so much better!   
Please keep us informed .......
would love to hear the review of your experience with the speakers!

@arctikdeth What is unique about that 12' woofer is that it is made from the same material as the tweeter and mid-range. I don't think anyone else making a box speaker can make that claim. I could hear the benefit of the 3 drivers made of the same material. Not saying this is the best speaker I have heard but it is right up there.

@yyzsantabarbara 

they look amazing.
had an old pair of altec Lansing m-510’s w the diaphragm mid and tweeter. Sounded great, but the bass was lacking! Returned them,now I wish I had kept them, nice wood veneer finish, great sound 

miss them! Would sound great w my 2nd kismet system.

the yammys look wicked!
should have wicked sound from the 12” woofer.and matching mid & tweeter.

please post a review when you have time!

Yes I can say the ns5000 is a true dark horse speaker. Not a lot of people know about it but its truly magical sounding. Astounding clarity, imaging, soundstage. It simply sounds so natural. My review has more details but I love them.

As for the ns3000 ya i agree they might be a bit small for my room unless I paired them with my dual 18 inch psa lol. But I like the ns5000 integration with my psa which I cross at 40 hz and turn them down.

As for amps. People on my discord tell me a pass labs xa25 would be more than enough for my speakers since my room isn’t that big. They are 88db and I am confused because even pass said that since the specs mention 200 watts to 600 watts that 200 at least would be ideal? Does more power allow for a more dynamic effortless sound? I rather go for an x250.8 that is being sold locally imo. I’m not confident 25 watts per channel would work.

25 watts would be a joke!

 Your used to 300.
stay with it.
no less than 300WPC.

have faith!
