NSMT = OMG!!


I just got in NSMT 100 speakers and they are amazing. I know people say that and mean it but these are the best speakers I have ever heard.  My friends even non audiophile people can hear how good they sound.  The instrument separation, full range sound and all the other audiophile adjectives fit these speakers.  I have had klipsch, KEF, FOCAL and some others I can't remember and wow these speakers are the best sound ever in my house. There may be equal and better sounding speakers but I don't think at this price point. The tone of the music is just amazing and I thought I knew what "being in the room with the musicans" sounded like but not until I got these in my place.  Thank you to Terry London for mentoring me and letting me hear his 100's.  Best JH

I also should mention that I am running the NSMT 100's with two amps. The First Watt F7 (20 wpc) and Pass Labs XA25 (25 wpc).  I only run digital because the gods have smiled on me and not stuck me with the vinyl sickness.....  I have an Esoteric N05XD (streamer/Dac/Preamp).

The amps have plenty of power to run the 100's.  

Also if you deal with Mike Kay at Audio Archon you will get fully supported and taken care of.  I have never met him and have no affiliation with him just passing along what was great customer service from him.

I just emailed them asking what speaker would be a good fit for my system/room so it'll be interesting to see what they say.

I have a small long room and have the speakers approx 8' apart and am 8' from them.  The active bass on the 100 has a crossover and volume knob so I could dial in what worked for my room.  Bloody diabolicall!!!!

Those NSMT 100's a great speakers!  I've had the pleasure of hearing them at Terry London's house more than once and have always found the presentation world-class.  They are a well-rounded speaker - they can energize the room (he has a large space) and be very delicate when the music calls for it.  Working with a range of music types & volumes.  

They "disappear" and also throw an impressive verticle soundstage - producing a music-aura that is non-fatiguing and very musical.

They are a good value, full range and not power hungery.  A hard-to-find combination.

I'll also echo your good vibes on Mike Kay.  He's a great guy.  

I agree with above comments. It's unusual to have a single pair of speakers applied so very flexibly: easy to drive, full detailed bloom at all volumes, solid aesthetic pose and seamless full range detail, soundstage depth/width/height. We each have choices in what sounds good in our space, this one sounds best in my space....well done NSMT!
