Yamaha NS 1000M Find


I lucked out and found a pair for $30 yesterday with scratching on the tops, and bottoms of the cabinets, and a dented midrange screen, but otherwise nice. Sounds worse then it is.
I have to really run them through some paces, but I was not that impressed initially.
One question about power rating. I know many speakers rated at 100 WPC can handle more, but with the beryllium tweeters, is it risky to feed them 150 WPC?
I have a pair of Polk SDA's that are some sort of variant on the SDA 2's. Possibly some sort of prototype SDA's. Anyway the Polks can handle anything, and sound great. I am running a Sansui AU 919 with the Polks, and I know that the Yamaha's would be fine with the 919, but I may like to have more power. Thoughts?

I wouldn't worry. You will be more likely to damage the speakers with too little power than too much. As long as you send them undistorted power they will be fine.
I am finally running them with the Sansui AU 919. They are very nice sounding.
They have to be as heavy as the Polk SDA's.
Seems you should send a anonymous check to the thrift store since you've gotten such under priced deals. I do hope its not linked to a charity.
Lav, I will do the donating for you. What is the address and I'll send the check;)
