SAMmed speakers für 1000Pro?

[Pim]

How exciting! I had thought that I might be the only person in the world using NS5000s with Expert Pro CI 1000's. The 'speakers garnered very favourable reviews on release, yet I hear and read little about them these days and was able to secure mine, ex-dem, at just under half price 30 months ago.

I have vaguely considered a subwoofer,  but Yamaha do not make a matching unit for the 5000. Any thoughts?

Hi Fraser, seems like you're even impressed by yamaha NS5000's performance as I am. As said before, I really like the pressure of sound NS5000's is able to set down. I'll agree with Pims comment about using 2 subwoofers. Although I feel no need to add subs to my NS5000, I think the JL Audio E110 subs (a pair) I've had in the past will do their job. Integration of this sub is very easy, it also adds almost no coloration to the original speaker. JL E110 isn't cheap - maybe an idea to start with one sub only. Last, E110 piano black will match NS5000 perfect. It's all about the detail ;-)

Thank you both for your input. Sorry about the delay in replying - I am preparing for a long-haul holiday, having rather fallen out of the habit of these.

The specified Triads appear not to be made any longer. I have a Triad dealer reasonably nearby, but the best they offer is the Silver 12".

I cannot accommodate two subwoofers, as the music is played in a 'living room', with its dominant demands on 'speaker placement.

I will certainly look for a single unit and take due account of the delay function and phase recommendations, and the value of a remote. None of these considerations would have occurred to me!

Interesting that @DUTCHDevialet mentioned JL Audio E110 subs. That's what my best mate bought for his system. Very good subs too, but a lot harder to integrate. I know, because I did the job for him.

I just checked the Triad website. There are no Inroom subs at all; the 12" is an 'Omni in room' series. I guess I'm lucky to have gotten mine when I did.
