What is the MRSP? Did a bit of surfing and found $15,000. Moving into a crowded price range for speakers.
Used NS-1000M & NS-1000 for many a year. Terrific speakers. Hope the NS-5000 are as good (competitive) for today as the NS-1000 were 30yr ago.

If these Yamaha ns 5000's do sound better than Magico M series like some of the reviewers said they did at the Shows, then they will be one hell of a Bargain!

Called a lot of Yamaha Dealers and they all sell them special order only!

They won't dare put them in their stores so you can compare them to Magico, B&W and others!

Well............ most folks consider Yamaha mid-fi (at least I do these days). To bring in a $15K set of speakers, which may well be worth their price, could be stretch for the dealer. May end up owning them a long time. Think someone of note will have to give a good review to have that change.

That´s why Accuphase has the system with the dealer-events - so the dealers have the chance to show the top-series and to give the chance to the customers and fans to hear that "hot stuff" throughout the country with there own (h)ears

What does Accuphase have to do with Yamaha?

I agree! but I believe it's different with this new series
