"...the
NSM 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."

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

"...they
seemed to image like a hologram."

"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 ¬ even enough to mate effectively with a
sub. The NSM Model 5-SE is the first truly tiny speaker I have
heard to avoid these common pitfalls."

"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."

the best I've heard at any price."
