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

Actually, the trick in both cases was to turn the amp up to 9 rather
than to 11.........

It was indeed true engineering, and the tweeter 'problem' explains why
almost all 'sound engineers' are prematurely deaf! As can be heard on
most modern pop records................ :-(
