I heard the NS-2000A that were on display in the previous room at the Montreal Audio Festival and I was impressed at the price/performance bar they achieved. Excellent sound was one of my top 3 setups at the show.
I've been curious about that Yamaha turntable - - back in the day Yamaha produced one of the best turntables of it's time, an old Harry Pearson favorite - the PX-2.
We have an expectation bias. I thought the first track was truly midfi. Then I heard the price and the story about the space age material and it sounded better. Still not my taste.
yeah...I think I agree. The most important factor will be a combination of the speaker design and the room acoustics. A big horn or waveguide will always sound higher fidelity to me than anything Ive heard from a direct radiator. Just the nature of polar response and acoustics.
