The Model 100 is Most Wanted Component 2010 - 2020

 

NSMT Model 100Stereo Times Most Wanted Components
The Model 100 wins Stereo Times' most wanted speaker of the 2010-2020 decade.

"These unassuming speakers may be the best on the market today. This company has been has been in business for the last thirty years and it is incredable that they have flown so far under the radar! This status is about to change with this speaker!" (latest comment by barany on audiogon.com)
 

In other developments we upgraded the Model 100 subwoofer amplifier to a class AB 250 watts RMS amplifier that has switchable 120/240 voltage without increasing the price. The Model 100 is currently available in sapele and natural birch plywood cabinets as well as satin black with natural cherry MDF cabinets. Custom finishes are available at extra cost. We are now shipping Model 100s in sapele cabinets and black with natural cherry cabinets in one to two weeks.

The NSMT Model 100 delights!

Now available in sapele wood as shown above.

 "...the Model 100 demonstrated ... how it coud replicate the original time/space with wrap-around holographic emersion for a you-are-there sense that was greater than I have ever experienced from a box speaker. The only times previously that I heard this was from a pair of omnidirectional MBL Radialstrahler E101 Mk11..." (Terry London, 6moons)

 

Can a three driver compact loudspeaker outperform monolith multidriver speakers? Sometimes less is more. Just how good is the NSMT Model 100? Follow the discussion on Audiogon by some of those who have heard the Model 100 at reviewer Terry London's home:

 

"They are the best speaker I have heard over there by far."

"I still think of them as Harbeth 40.2 with 'balls.'"

"...massive bottom end power that blends perfectly."

"mesmerizing"

...holographic sound-staging...”

"The imaging of these speakers is staggering."

...purity/beauty of the colors/tonality in the mid-range...”

...the sheer overall power of the speaker and the deep and accurate killer bass...”

...They really are wonderful in their ability to transport one to the performance with their amazing imaging.”

Great for any genre of music.”

I found myself getting lost in the music and having many goose bump moments as I listened to familiar tracks.”

The first review of the new Model 100 is in.

NSMT Loudspeakers Model 100

A big thank you to Terry London and Six Moons for Terry's review of the Model 100. Can a modestly priced "box" speaker take on the  imaging prowess of the omnidirectional MBL Radialstrahler E101 MKII? We invite you to read here for yourself and to hear the Model 100 and decide for yourself.

 

Bass performance is the main determinant of the suitability of a speaker for any room size. With its flexible adjustable bass output, the Model 100 easily fits any room. And its low bass prowess and its ability to pressurize any room will shame many speakers with 15 inch woofers.

 

Terry describes how the Model 100's has the ability to replicate the original time/space of the musical event with a kind of wrap-around holographic immersion that he has only heard in one other speaker: the MBL Radialstrahler E101 MKII.

 

More recently Terry noted that "...the Model 100s  [is] "mesmerizing" because of the factors that everyone so far has experienced. First, holographic sound-staging, that encompasses you in the music.  Secondly, the purity/beauty of the colors/tonality in the mid-range.  Thirdly, the sheer overall power of the speaker and the deep and accurate killer bass and how it loads the room with sub-sonics that give you a sense of where the recording was made."

 

We welcome comparisons to any speaker at any price, with regard to bass performance, musicality, imaging, soundstaging, and value.

The New Model 100 is Here!

 

 

The new Model 100 is here updated and offered in different finishes.

NSMT Model 100

The latest version of the Model 100 features a repositioned tweeter and a revision of how the tweeter is implemented. The goal is to get the tightest time alignment between the tweeter and the woofer. This significantly improves the Model 100's resolution of micro details and its imaging. In addition, we have improved the regidity of the cabinet by strategically placing stiffners on the internal panels in order eliminate resonances and produce truly boxless sound. Dubbed the Africa speaker, the Model 100 is now offered in Eco-friendly, non-toxic, standard satin black and cherry cabinets and in deluxe all wood natural birch plywood cabinets.

The new Chorus inspired by the Model 50 is here!

 

NSMT Chorus speaker

"... the Chorus Loudspeakers really beat my Maggies in terms of stereo image."

 

The new Chorus/Model 25 reflects the summation of what we have learned over the years about delivering large scale dynamics in compact designs.

It is 97 dBs efficient and can be driven by anything from flea watt SET amplifiers to high powered solid state amplifiers. It can out-image the best minimonitors and it can handle any genre from rock to classical to dub reggae.

It is 4.5 inches deep by 37 inches high by 9.5 inches wide (excluding the outriggers). It is designed to complement today's flat screen TVs.

Frequency response: 37 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

 

What are the major improvements?

For one, the bass response has been vastly improved. It is now very close to that of the Model 50. The Chorus is now freestanding without the need of a speaker stand. The tonal balance has been improved. And the imaging and soundstaging which were always superlative have been improved. Other than its audiophile prowess, the Chorus/Model 25 is a powerful speaker with very impressive bass response that is only 4.5 inches deep (without the outriggers) which makes it an excellent choice as front speakers for today's flat screen TVs. The active version of the Chorus/Model 25 is even more impressive as front home theater speakers. Imagine a complete powerful audiophile HiFi system for $1,795 that has a "subwoofer out" connection if one is needed, into which you can feed your TV audio signal. With WiFi, cell phone app control, and IR remote control. The active Chorus/Model 25 has it all.

Thanks to Terry London and Home Theater Review

NSMT Model 50/Jamaica

Many thanks to Terry London and Home Theater Review for Terry's review of the Model 50/Jamaica. While modern technology has shrunk most consumer electronics, monstrous speakers are still needed to reproduce "live" sound. The Jamaica speaker is a powerful compact speaker designed to replace much larger and more expensive speakers.

We initiated extensive research and many innovative manufacturing processes to bring you a beautiful, powerful, efficient, affordable, compact speaker with the dynamic prowess that allows it to replace much larger speakers. At the same time, the Jamaica speaker checks off every requirement in the holy grail of accurate sound reproduction including being time coherent, minimum phase and a point source.

In addition, it embodies our innovative proprietary Dual Transmission Line (DTL) approach to bass production and our design principle of avoiding using crossovers in the frequency range of the fundamental frequencies of musical instruments and voices. Our DTL design approach allows us to crossover the woofers to the tweeter at 5,500 Hz. This eliminates crossover induced phase anomalities and soundwave discontinuities in the fundamental frequency region. 

The efficiency, soundstaging, and dynamic prowess of the Jamaica allows it to be many great speakers rolled into one. It is designed to handle any genre, from Reggae Dub to Classical music and everything in between. Terry's review shows the Jamaica speaker shines brilliantly as a SET speaker even driven by as little as one watt. 

Among its comments:

"...the Model 50 produced thunderous bass and never lost its composure at very high listening levels."

"The Model 50 produced a soundstage ...totally transcending the walls of my listening space."

"To think you can get full range extension on the top and bottom and thunderous dynamics with less than four watts at over 100dB sound pressure levels is amazing."

To the question asked on Audiogon.com "...do you have anything negative to say about them? Terry answered, "... no..."

Some people will not believe this level of performance is possible from a speaker of this size and driver configuration and some will miss how great the Jamaica speaker is because of its low price. But sometimes you get more than you pay for.

Terry's review shows the Jamaica speaker punches way above its price and size in looks, performance, and style. It has already outperformed some much larger, more expensive, "reference" speakers. Overtime people will realize how great this speaker is. You are invited to compare it to any speaker.
