We are pleased to introduce the PSM-15EXP Armada System.

If you appreciate totally effortless dynamics, imaging on par with the best minimonitors, and bass to die for, you will love this system. System consists of 1 pair of PSM monitors a pair of custom sandbags stands, and a pair of 15 EXP subwoofer , with integrating circuitry-all finished in satin black lacquer. Introductory system price: $5,995. (You may purchase this system piece meal or with one 15 EXP subwoofer. Email if you have questions..

Major make over for the EXP subwoofer. Why? To make exquisite bass even better, to move the amplifier from the side to the rear which means when the EXP is placed on its side it now requires only 8 inches clearance vs 9.25. And to provide continuous phase control for absolute integration with satellites. We went to a lower wattage amplifier in an age of megawattage subwoofer amplifiers because this amp produces sweet, highly articulate bass and has a tremendous power supply.

New review of the Model 5 (click link to read, scroll down on audioreview.com)
We just discovered a very extensive and much appreciated new review of the Model 5s in a theater and music application by a customer on audioreview.com. The review is valued because the customer deals with a real life application of the speakers as opposed to the hypothetical often found in professional reviews.

5/15/06

Effective 5/15/06 the price of the Model 5 will increase from $349.95 to $395 per pair, and the price of the Model 7 will increase to $299 each. These increases are due to improvements in the speaker and increased costs of production.

2/17/06 Effective 3/30/06, we will increase the price of the Model 10S in satin black to $1,395 and the Model 10S in birch and walnut to $1,495 to reflect increases in the cost of parts and production.


2/11/06 We have increase the price of the Model 10 to reflect recent improvements to the speaker.

Coming as custom order item: New 15 EXP Duo

 

 

The New 15EXP Duo combines two 15EXP passive subs into a single design with an outboard remote controlled  360 watt amplifier. The 15EXP 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. And it may be placed on its side for convenience in which case the height is a compact 12 inches. It has enough finesse and speed to be used in small rooms and enough power to be used in very large rooms.

It is also available with two separate built in 160 watt full-featured amps for even more detailed bass contouring.


12/15/05 We have removed the PayPal payment gateway from our website because it was rarely used. We still have our PayPal account. If you want to pay by PayPal let us know by email and we will arrange for you to do so.

Introducing the innovations series, a new line of decorator audiophile products from NSM      

The
BWIC invisible subwoofer
Most people see the traditional box-shaped stand alone subwoofer as incongruent with their on-the-wall Plasma or LCD high definition TVs and in-wall music systems. The new BWIC65 powered subwoofer from NSM fills the need for a subwoofer that does not sit out into the room. The BWIC65 subwoofer provides high quality bass and meets the needs of the do-it-your-selfer and the custom installer with its behind the wall and in-ceiling functionality and easy installation. It delivers astounding, realistic, accurate, deep bass with the enclosure hidden behind the wall or in the ceiling and it is virtually invisible to go along with the rest of your built-in loudspeaker system.

For an incredibly affordable retail price of $799 you get the BWIC65 subwoofer, the SA100 potent 100 watt RMS subwoofer amplifier, and all the hardware needed for installation. The BWIC65 is very easy to install. You cut a 7.25 inch circular hole for the vent, mount the subwoofer between the 2 by 4s or ceiling joists using the adjustable brackets and 4 screws. That's it. Now you are ready to listen the same high quality bass you get from the best stand alone subwoofers.

 

 

This is all you see from inside the room: a 3.5 inch round grill that you can paint to match your wall!

New!

IW65 In-Wall Subwoofer

see IW65 frequency response curve

We now have one of the best solutions for in-wall bass. The new IW6.5S is accurate, articulate, small, fast and rugged, it is based on our custom woofer used in the EXP! And it has remarkably linear and extended response of 24Hz to 110 Hz +/- 3 dB (measurements taken with the sub installed in a drywall wall separated by 2 X 4 studs and driven by our A360 outboard subwoofer amplifier). The IW6.5S is very easy to install. It has no crossover and must be driven by a subwoofer amp such as our A360 subwoofer amplifier, or you can use your receiver or amplifier with a built in subwoofer amp and crossover to power it. In any case, you will be rewarded with great, fast, articulate bass from a small accurate in-wall subwoofer that matches the performance of our minimonitors and in-wall loudspeakers.

Price:
$249.95 each

Some of the best values in high end audio just got better. We have rolled back prices on most of our products while maintaining or upgrading performance and built quality. We are able to to this because we are benefiting from cost efficiencies from the implementation of more efficient cabinet manufacturing techniques and economies of scale in the purchasing of components. You can now purchase our products directly from us or from select retailers.

NOW PERFECTLY TIME COHERENT HOME THEATER SYSTEMS

Through extensive research we have developed the best Model 5 ever. In the new Model 5, we use of a horn loaded soft dome neodymium tweeter and a shallow throat carbon fiber woofer and perfectly align their acoustic centers. The result is a loudspeaker that not only improves on the imaging and musicality of the previous Model 5 but one that is more time coherent than most slanted baffle loudspeaker. Because time coherence is achieved without a slanted baffle, which often causes sound to refract off of the portion of the baffle that is ahead of the drivers, the Model 5 has an "openness" that is rarely found at its price point. The close alignment of the tweeter and woofer also makes the new Model 5 a true point source over part of its operating range.

We did not stop there. We applied the same technology to the Model 7. The combination of the Model 5 and Model 7 produces home theater with awesome imaging and soundstaging. Combining the Model 5 and Model 7 with our recently improved 15EXP subwoofer produces a home theater experience that is hard top beat at any price.

NEW A360 remote control outboard 360 watt subwoofer amplifier.


Price: $399 each

The A360 allows you to adjust the volume and crossover setting of your subwoofer from the comfort of your seat. Need to change phase or to set controls? No need to rummage your way to the back of your subwoofer or to the back of your subwoofer outboard amp. All controls of the A360 are accessible from the front. A right angle power cord and right angle RCA connectors keep the appearance neat. 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. It is now packaged with passive versions of our 15EXP (15EXP-X) and EXP (EXP-X)
