Yamaha ns 1000m

[fishdaddy]

<font color='#000000'>Just happened on this site now I can't get off. I have a pair of NS 1000M's. Haven't used them in years. 1 or both tweeters got fried by too much Distortion or so said some guy I knew that was as a TV repairman. My kid who is now 22 turned up loudness or volume or something when he was 6 and I know 1 tweeter was bad. Old Nakamichi stuff drove it. All is vintage 77 or 78. Are the speakers worth fixing and are beryllium tweeters available anywhere?</font>

<font color='#000080'>Some people LOVE those speakers. Might be worth looking around eBay and whatnot for people selling them or parts.</font>

Are speakers worth repairing?

They are worth fixing if anything EXCEPT the tweeters or crossovers are bad because they are no longer available. Replacement mid-range and woofers are available from Yamaha. That's the bad news, the good news is that I need a pair of woofers for mine - the magnets got separated in shipping - destroying both - are you interested in selling these in their current condition?

Tweeters are available at a premium from Yamaha Japan directly at a cost of $280 each. I have a pair but my NS-1000x have been running for over 15 years without any problems but then I the Yamaha amp I drive them with never gets near clipping volume.

They are absolutely legendary so I would keep them at any price, one of the most accurate yet musical speakers ever made.
