RE: not the most original question: opinions on Yamaha NS-1000 family

We had these in the showroom. With their beryllium mid an tweeter, they are a very detailed speaker. They might be two detailed for you liking. They can be threadbare. I wouldn't call them west cost sound. When dialed in to be so, they are neutral but very transparent, and ruthlessly revealing of the flaws in equipment and recordings. They do get used as studio monitors.

Not surprisingly they work well with Yamaha amps. I have read that a lot of Japanese audiophiles diver them with tubes. I would thing PP UL or triode KT88/6550 would be the right power range, but you could probably get away with EL34's. PP EL84 or anything single ended, unless it was a transmitting tube, would not have enough juice (IMO. YMMV).

There are some frequency response measurements in the link.
