The NS-1000Ms were a bit of a rose among thorns. ;-)

Well screw all that. They were sensitive!

I well remember to this day (like it'd be forgettable; no!) listening/
being nearly deafened by a Quad 606 at full whack feeding NS-1000Ms in
a small listening room upstairs in the Chatham branch (where I worked
part-time) of Sevenoaks Hi-Fi, playing Metallica's "One"! Imagine it:
100+ watts into NS-1000Ms in a small room, and it was LOUD! WOW! We sat
there transfixed, our ears nearly bleeding! I still have that 12", and damn
good it is too!

Mind you, we were the ones who had Kef 104 Mk II speakers downstairs
and who used to let rip with "Money For Nothing" and Belinda Carlisle's
"Nobody Owns Me" (or whatever that track was called) and wander off down
Chatham high street and see how far along we could still hear it!


Happy days!
