The Model 5 for music and theater

Perfectly time coherent for music and theater.

$247.50 each
$495 per pair

"...they seemed to image like a hologram."
(Soundstage.com)

" These speakers actually "blend" with my sub so well, it is down right spooky."

"These are the best small speakers I have found for under $1000. "
(firebirdTN, audioreview.com)

"Once I installed the NSMs (in basically the exact same location as my Quintets were), it sounded absolutely AMAZING. Not only are movies OUTSTANDING, but music is VERY VERY VERY GOOD as well. ...Anyway, I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results. Actually, I do not think...I take that back...I KNOW I could NOT have found a better speaker for the size or price of the Model 5s."

"Their ability to unravel detail, particularly through the midrange, is excellent and easily on par with speakers that cost $1000 or more."

"I found out quickly that thee Model 5s can do extremely impressive bass for its size..."

"...the drums, guitar and vocals all had body and size, proof to me that image size does not necessarily correlate with speaker size."

"..vocals were cast so rock-solid in the center that I placed it among the best I've heard at any price."

"I was left shaking my heat at the fact that such big sound came from such little boxes."

"...they were shocking in their ability to fill
my moderately sized 12' by 16' room with sound..."
(Soundstage.com)
"NSMT Model 5 ... shoots images in the room like a laser and beats out just about any speakers in this regard."
(From Soundstage.com review of CHS-2/W-2 Loudspeaker System)

"... the smallest speaker I know of which can easily be paired with a subwoofer without having to set the crossover to the sub so high in frequency as to make placement problematic." (From forum.ecoustics.com)

"The only speaker I could find that could cast a more rock-solid center image is the utterly minuscule, stupidly-good-at-the-price, ... NSMT Model 5, which shoots images in the room like a laser and beats out just about any speakers in this regard. The little NSMT presents center-placed vocal images as if they are right THERE, like a softball hovering in the air. It's almost eerie and, no doubt, the Model 5's fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand size helps."
(From Soundstage.com 1999 review of CHS-2/W-2 Loudspeaker System)

"...exudes thoughtful design and craftsmanship."

"...the Model 5s have an easy and expansive sound."

"...the NSMT M5s are about as spatially precise as can be achieved."
(Ultralinear.net 2005 review)

The cabinet is a hand rubbed white Russian Baltic birch plywood cabinet, long known for its anti-resonant properties and sonic quality. The Model 5 SE is hot rodded with Superior (TM) binding posts, polypropelene capacitor by-passed with film foil capacitor, metal oxide resistor, and DH Labs silver sonic internal wire. Imagine sound, imaging, and soundstaging even more exquisite than that of the standard Model 5.

"...the NSMT 5s can create as much quality bass as can be accommodated in a room where they are likely to be used."
(from Ultralinear review of standard Model 5)

"The 5's did not just fill the room &they were very able to drive me out with a few ticks on the volume control of a pretty modest amplifier. And up to the physical limits of their drivers did a Brobdingnagian job of rockin' the room."

"... smooth, open sounding, with the ability to throw a surprisingly stable and deep soundstage."

"... they image like crazy."

"These guys know how to make small speakers work in a way few others approach."

(From review of Model 5SE and EXP by Positive Feedback Online, 2008)

Russian Baltic birch plywood hot rod version of the Model 5 optimized for even greater imaging and soundstaging!

"...they seemed to image like a hologram."
(from Soundstage.com review of standard Model 5)

"This is a serious little speaker."
(From review of Model 5SE and EXP by Positive Feedback Online, 2008)

"... they are remarkably inexpensive for what they do&which is to produce great sound, lots of it, all from a footprint you can put just about anywhere."

"I was really shocked with these little darlings, first because little speakers generally sound &well, little. Also, most often they are way-peaky with pesky frequency dips and valleys a Sherpa would find daunting &and of course, the big bear &no bass &not even enough to mate effectively with a sub. The NSMT Model 5-SE is the first truly tiny speaker I have heard to avoid these common pitfalls."

The Model 7 is now finished with a beautiful certified environmentally-friendly finish to prevent any hazardous off-gassing that can occur from plywooods and MDFs used to make loudspeakers, at no additional cost.

We have redesigned the Model 7, for better imaging performance mainly by reducing the width of the cabinet from 5.5 to 5 inches. The Model 7/7C is a two-way full-range, magnetically shielded, MTM loudspeaker that is designed to produce smooth non-fatiguing, musical sound for use in contemporary stereo or theater systems. A very neutral midrange makes it ideal for use as a center channel. The new narrow profile and small size makes it an excellent match for today's LCD and Plasma TV monitors when used as a center channel or main speaker. Twin high excursion full-range drivers allow it to provide tremendous, coherent output, considering its small size. It features highly effective shielding which allows it to be placed close to, or directly on, CRT enclosures.The narrow-profile cabinet features smooth, rounded corners and a high quality satin black lacquer finish to complement almost any decor.

It uses two high quality four and a half inch long-throw woven carbon fiber full range drivers and an excellent horn loaded soft dome tweeter in the woofer-tweeter-woofer configuration and an acoustic suspension design for superb reproduction of the recorded soundstage. It is a point source, time coherent design with a true first order minimum phase crossover for accurate musical response.

Potent, lush musical performance with extended bass from a compact magnetically shielded loudspeaker that is suitable for stereo and center channel.

Available in Eco-friendly "green" wood, and satin black lacquer finishes

The new Model 12 is a two-way full-range, magnetically shielded, MTM loudspeaker that is designed to produce smooth non-fatiguing, musical sound. Its design is based on our highly successful Model 10S. The design goal for the Model 12 was to produce a compact speaker with the musicality of the Model 10S but with much more bass output and increased sensitivity to enable excellent performance in both music and home theater systems. To achieve this we expanded the height of the Model 10S cabinet from 10 to 14 inches to accommodate another woofer in the D'Appolito configuration. The resulting cabinet measures a svelte 5.5 X 14 X 6.5. The -10 dB frequency response of the Model 12, an indication of it's in-room response, is an incredible 30 cycles.

The Model 12 uses two five inch SEAS long-throw woofers. Instead of the Morel MDT30 used in the Model 10S, we use the Morel MTD 29 tweeter, another excellent soft dome tweeter from Morel that facilitates in-house high quality magnetic shielding of all the drivers used in the Model 12. The acoustic suspension design of the Model 10S is retained for superb reproduction of the recorded soundstage. And like the Model 10S, the Model 12's crossovers are true minimum phase designs for accurate musical response and the best transient response.

The result of our design approach is a very potent, extended range, musical small loudspeaker that is equally adept at playing in music systems or home theater systems.

Awsome Power and Finesse

Dimensions: 36 X 12 X 15 inches
(HXWXD)

To order, e-mail: nsmt@nsmt-loudspeakers.com

The New 15EXP Sub-Duo combines two 15EXP passive subs into a single design with our outboard remote controlled A360 watt amplifier. The 15EXP Sub-Duo keeps the speed of the 15EXP but increases headroom and provides even cleaner output at higher volume. Its dimensions are 36 inches high by 12 inches wide by 15 inches deep. For convenience, it may be placed on its side, in which case the height is a compact 12 inches. It has enough finesse and speed to be used in smaller rooms and enough power to be used in very large rooms.

The A360 amp allows you to adjust the volume and crossover setting of your subwoofer from the comfort of your seat or control panel. No need to rummage your way to the back of your subwoofer or to the back of your subwoofer outboard amp to change phase and crossover adjustments when you are changing use of your system from theater to music and back. All controls of the A360 are accessible from the front. And with measurements of 12.5 inches wide, 10.5 inches deep and 5.75 inches high, it is easy to place the A360 almost anywhere including on top of the subwoofer. This full-featured amp also features high quality 6 dB per octave crossovers at 125Hz for excellent integration with satellite loudspeakers.
