What reviewers are saying about our loudspeakers (scroll down) THE MODEL 5: "These are the best small speakers I have found for under $1000. " (firebirdTN, audioreview.com) "...exudes thoughtful design and craftsmanship." (Ultralinear.net) "...they seemed to image like a hologram." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "I was left shaking my head at the fact that such big sound came from such little boxes." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com ) "...the NSM M5s are about as spatially precise as can be achieved." (Ultralinear.net) (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com ) (Ultralinear.net) "The NSM 5s are for people who need and love their music." (Ultralinear.net) THE MODEL 10: "... the little 10 is capable of creating ... a spatial elusion ... " (Martin DeWulf, Bound for Sound) "The NSM 10's are top performing mini-monitors with exemplary imaging and tonal accuracy. They play loud without sign of strain and take up very little space...." (Graham Hardy Ph.D, Audiophile Auditions,) "My congratulations to NSM for producing a terrific little loudspeaker." (Graham Hardy Ph.D, Audiophile Auditions,)t) THE MODEL 10S: "...crafted with jewel-like precision." (Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound) "How good are these speakers?...Very good indeed....Am I selling my Gallo Ref 3's? No. ... but for now I'm in sonic bliss." (Firebird,audioasylum.com) "Absolutely astonishing!" (Stereo, Germany, review of NSM 10S with Linn Classic) "...breathtaking..." (Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, Britain) "...can put to shame a great many larger loudspeakers with its unpretentious musicality." (The Absolute Sound) "...it is so smooth that I began to refer to it as tubelike." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "...smooth and extended highs with superb imaging..." (D.B. Keele, Jr., Audio) THE MODEL 15: "Best speaker in its price range" (Stereo, Germany) "It makes you believe that the performers are right in front of your eyes with such pinpoint soundstaging that every position and movement is palpable and seems touchable." (Stereo, Germany) MODEL 2OM "Compares favorably to the Waveform Mach MC, Mirage MRM-1, Revel Performa M20 and Merlin TSM-SE; 'if you're seeking all-out minimonitor performance, put the unique MasterSource 20M on your list.'" (Doug Schneider, Soundstagemagazine.com) "...very easy clean and smooth. There was no apparent excess or deficiency in any part of the audio spectrum, and its soundstage was superb." (Julian Hirsch, Stereo Review) (Ron Carlen, The Audiophile Voice) "The Model 50's group delay [an indication of its phase linearity] was among the lowest and most uniform we have measured to date... its stereo imaging was excellent... Even at 32 Hz, the output... was perfectly audible and usable at that frequency." (Julian Hirsch, Stereo Review) MODEL 100 "...a new concept." (Bruce and Jenny Bartlett, High Performance Review) EXP Mini-subwoofer "The quality of the bass that the EXP delivers is just like that of the 5 and 10S -- tight and tuneful." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "...the EXP is on the money with solidity and control and proves ideally matched to NSMs speakers." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "The EXP is an elegant-looking package that's attractive enough to sit out in the room..." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) EXP & Model 5 subwoofer satellite system "...this system sounded almost as good as my $10k system." (Richard Cook, Audioreview.com)  Role Audio Skiff by NSM  "It is crisply delineated yet silky smooth, with excellent articulation and resolution. ... I'm not sure it's necessarily a more accurate transducer than my reference Merlin TSM ...Tones are pure and pristine...The upper midrange smoothness and coherence in particular is something to behold..." (Marc Yun, Bound for Sound) "...the Skiffs produce a remarkably linear frequency response over their entire range." (Steve Stone, enjoythemusic.com,) Role Audio Sampan FTL by NSM The Amphion Ion has it’s own strengths and appeal. but doesn’t possess the addictive coherency and flow, the magic of the FTL...the Sampan FTLs are immediately involving. (Robert Learner, sonicflare.com) "The Sampans slam and boogie like nobody’s business. ...The have a big, bold, expansive sound that comes right at you. It really takes some time to come to terms with just how much energy they can put into a room. There’s always a tendency to look up and say to yourself, “all of this is coming from those two little boxes? That can’t be right."! (Paul Cervantes, ultralinear.net)” "The Greatest Disappearing Act Since Houdini. " (Jeff Rabin, Ph.D., enjoythemusic.com) "... the true stars in the Role firmament are, for me (so far), the Sampans ...We listened, drop-jawed, to detail, a seamless soundstage, crisp warmth (Oxymoronic? Not in the least), and next to no sense of compression or congestion at climaxes." (David Ogden Stiers, see review page) Role Audio Kayak by NSM "...the Role Audio Kayaks best the LS 3/5as quite nearly across the board." (M.L. Gneier, tnt-audio.com, Italy) "Once you hear the Kayak speaker in nearfield environment you may flip out as well." (Steve Stone, enjoythemusic.com) Role Audio Discovery by NSM "The Discovery and Kayak share many family traits. They both have superb high frequency rendition, astounding inner detail and low-level resolution, and remarkable depth recreation." (Steve Stone, enjoythemusic.com) Role Audio Windjammer by NSM "The Windjammers ... are my speakers to beat at the price point...." (Marc Yun, Bound for Sound) They looked very attractive... not only did my wife not complain, she asked that they not leave.." "image like lasers." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) Role Audio Enterprise by NSM " You will not find a better speaker anywhere near its price (and yes, I have heard them all)." (Paul Crvantes Ultralinear.net ) "...the bass is to die for." "...the Enterprise are, almost, neutral to a fault..." (Jeff Rabin, enjoythemusic.com) "I was astonished by what a big sound came from these rather compact towers.... I was impressed by the high quality fit and finish ...The two-tone design is very striking.... One thing I quickly noticed was the excellent imaging with the Roles..."
