New
2/2010 review of the 20M in Stereo Times
"The NSM MasterSource
20M loudspeakers are nicely designed, solidly built, and eminently
musical sounding performers. They throw a very nice soundstage
with good speed and detail and are capable of good bass performance."
"Small
Footprint, Big Sound."
"...the
song that always does it for me is the classic, Cant Help Lovin
Dat Man. Pianist Gene Harris performance is simply marvelous
and I always want to stand and applaud every time his solo concludes....
The 20Ms ability to pull the listener into the performance is
very important to this song."
"...
very high-quality craftsmanship and tight tolerances in the construction."
"The
tweeter actually showed incredible range, not getting hard or
bright as the music became louder or more dynamic."
"The
20Ms ability to pull the listener into the performance is very
important..."

Think
of the Jazz as a mini speaker, speaker stand, and a subwoofer
all rolled into one space saving design. The jazz delivers full-range
accurate musical sound. |
The Bossa Nova is
a tiny, elegant, single driver tower with full range musical
performance that will shame many larger small tower speakers. |
"The
best speakers I've heard in my room in terms of imaging have
been the Waveform Mach MC and the ultra-expensive JMlab Mini
Utopia.... the 20M at least equals these fine speakers...." |
The 30M is a
time coherent, point source, first order, two-way transmission
line loudspeaker that delivers a stunning 30 Hz to 20,000 Hz
plus and minus 3 dB performance. |
Here is what one of the best audio
mastering engineers has to say about the 20M and two 15 EXP subwoofer
Armada System
"I
purchased a complete 20M Armada system over a year ago which
I use daily for audio mastering. This system has simply allowed
me to get closer to creating a perfectly balanced master than
I ever thought possible."
Kurt
Lundvall, Lundvall Mastering

website. Note Lundvall is using two 15EXP subs not the EXP subs)
"I found that both the NSM Model
10S and
Model
5 have
remarkable ability to cast a stable soundstage with excellent
width and depth. This speaker does this too, but it also manages
to focus its image more finely, making its imaging performance
among the best I've heard."
"I sat mesmerized by the precision with which the instrument
was rendered."
"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."
"Fit and finish are excellent..." "Imaging is
stellar. "
(Doug
Schneider, Soundstagemagazine)
