NSM Audio home theater loudspeaker systems deliver the
value, versatility, sound quality, and performance you expect
from us. Our home theater systems are not designed-down
versions of our other loudspeakers. Instead, we design our
loudspeakers first and foremost for high-end reproduction of
music. We looked at the critical issues involved in achieving
the best home theater playback and we determined that the
most appropriate loudspeaker designs for home theater are
time coherent, point source designs.
This lead us to redesign one of our most successful high-end
minimonitors, the Model 5 (5.5 wide by 6.5 deep by 8 inches
high), renowned for its musicality and ability to handle
dynamics. We reengineered it to incorporate a high quality
horn loaded, soft dome tweeter that is time aligned with the
woofer. The resulting group delay figure for the woofer and
tweeter is an astounding .0132 milliseconds. Better ti me
coherence than nearly all loudspeakers. We employ the same
technology in our new Model 7 minimonitor (12 wide by 6.5
deep by 5 inches high, horizontal orientation). The new Model
7, which has twice the output of the Model 5, is a svelte design
for main, rear or center channel use. Both the new Model 5
and Model 7 are time coherent point sources that are outfitted
with first order crossovers for the best transient response. And
they are timber matched, to ensure consistency in sound
reproduction for the best music and theater performance.
This means the Model 5 and Model 7 can r eproduce a
soundstage with the kind of precision and clarity that few
loudspea kers can match, rega rdless of cost.
While many subwoofer manufacturers boast mega wattage subwoofer
amplifiers, the quality of the bass produced by any subwoofer depends
mainly on the design of the subwoofer itself, and the real power of the
amplifier depends on its design and power supply. The performance of
both the EXP and 15EXP subwoofers bear this out. They are among the
small number of subwoofers with bass response that is fast enough to
keep pace with very small minimonitors, linear enough to provide
seamless integration, dynamic enough to power today's music and home
theater systems, and compact enough to allow the utmost flexibility in
placement.
Both the standard EXP and 15EXP subwoofers are bandpass designs,
for the most linear bass response. Both are powered by a gutsy full
featured 150 watt amplifier. The cabinets are beautifully finished in a
combination of satin black lacquer and black fabric covered panels that
form:
“... an elegant-looking package that's attractive enough to sit out in the
room. They are, “... on the money with solidity and control and .... ideally
matched to NSMs speakers." Both subwoofers will enthrall you with bass
that is, “...tight and tuneful.”(Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com,
10/2000).
