i understand these are the industry standard blah blah...but anyone ever use one of these ditchpigs?
it has like a 7dB accent at 1500hz...
you think they are at all useful given today's plethora of direct field monitor designs?

well if you can make it sound good on ns10s, it'll sound good anywhere. so i've heard.
my car stereo is my version of ns10s haha.
i was reading bout them the other day.
apparently they were never conceived as monitors, but bob clearmountain wanted some cheap shite hifi speakers to check mixes on and his lackey bought NS10s. word got out that he had some so everyone hopped on the bob bandwagon. yamaha saw the possibility and lo they became "professional studio monitors".
or maybe thats all internet rubbish. who knows.
i guess they'd be very useful as a second pair of monitors when you already have some that you know and love. but as the only pair might their weird freq response not be problematic?
i've always preferred wanking to studio monitors anyway.
bare
because i don't drive..i'm gonna get a scrapped car body into the studio and outfit it with a traditional car stereo..so i can test my mixes on it ha..

As far as I know NS10s were/are so ubiquitious because Yamaha gave them away for free to studios when they came out (and the Clearmountain hype, of course).
They are still in use because every professional engineer knows exactly how they sound, not because they can do anything that other cheap monitors couldn't.
Or at least that's what I was told.
