The Mode 5 Signature Edition is a hot rod version of the Model 5. 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.

 GET CLOSE TO YOUR MUSIC!
The Model 5 SE 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.

 

"...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."

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

 

Model 5 SE
 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 NSM Model 5-SE is the first truly tiny speaker I have heard to avoid these common pitfalls."
(From review of Model 5SE and EXP by Positive Feedback Online, 2008)

 


 "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."
(from Soundstage.com review of standard Model 5)

 "..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..."
