NS-1000Ms with a Quad 606 in the late 80s in the dem room at Chatham
Sevenoaks Hi-Fi, where I had a part-time job back then, after we'd
shut the shop. Our ears nearly bled!)


I've seen them, but have never heard them.


They (NS-1000M) were noted for being efficient *and* being able to take
high power.

Yes but in pro situations they blew tweeters like no tomorrow, I was told
that on average 6 tweeters were subsequently provided to pro-owners for a
pair within the ownership period. The trick to calm the ear bleeding
treble was a sheet of soft toilet paper over the tweeters. True engineering
