I am sure of the quality of your listening. I tried to listen to several high-end loudspeakers, I guarantee you that the NS 5000 are exceptional loudspeakers. I do not identify a speaker that does better in a budget of 35,000-40,000 €. The placement of the NS 5000 is very important.

What are the issues with placement of the NS5000?

I make a decision on either the KEF Blade 2 Meta or NS5000 next year. Both cannot be setup too far away from the front wall. I have both long wall and short wall placement options in a room that is 15 x 20 x 25 (W X L X H). So, a lot of volume but not a huge room.

all the speakers require a good placement, with the ns 5000, a scene depth and a naturalness that I appreciate very much ....

Impressive system you have. What other speakers did you compare ns5000 to ? I agree with you that its an incredible speaker. I was in tears yesterday when I heard a Meav song on it.

Also curious what made you choose cello audio gear?

How is their imaging height, and does the soundistage shifts significantly when a listener stands up, or moves around? Thanks.

I find the height quite good especially when you play it a bit louder. The imaging seems to get bigger more focused and detaches better at higher volumes. I don't notice much shifting with moving in my seat or getting up.

Are you able to record and post a video of a symphonic work, prefereable Bach Branderburg, or Mozart Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachmusik, or Handel, or any cuts that have lots of different instruments. You don't need to play an entire cut, just about 2-3 minutes of each, making sure U Tube will allow it. Would appreciate it greatly.

fwiw, Moonlight Sonata is a solo piano piece by Beethoven. I agree that more complex acoustic music can tell more about a system's sound.

your cat looks cold !

I had the cello duet already for several years. the combination with the NS 5000 is simply perfect, for a full and natural sound.

my sweet spot is 4.5 meters from the speakers, soundstage and depth depends on speaker placement of all links in the system and room. I listen to music every day, the level of quality in a side room and the perception of natural sound is always there. for the height under the speakers I have 8 cm granite blocks which provides a very solid sound image. I hope I understood your question

Will do when I get a chance.

Sorry, I always avoid publishing online the brand name indicating that they are worse or better than another, whether for cable and equipment, this can lead to controversy.
However, I can tell you that I will have difficulty finding its exceptional NS 5000, it easily supports the load of Bloc Cello of 1250 Watt each.

New sound demo. Sorry I know you guys want faster music, will work on that but I was taking advantage of the CJs while I had them.

Can I ask as favor or you? Can you move the NS5000 about a foot from the front wall and record a video? I cannot place them out like you can, and I have heard conflicting feedback from NS5000 dealers that said with that the speaker can and cannot be placed so close to the front wall.

I know you were interested in the CODA #16. I have one now and a Lumin X1 DAC to go direct (with remote control). I just need the speakers and it is between the KEF Blade 2 Meta and the NS5000. Though I have a limitation that the speaker needs to be about a foot to 2-foot (maybe) from the front wall. I could use Convolution filter DSP to solve this for both speakers, but I am interested in finding out which speaker would work best naked.

I can physically move the NS5000 more comfortably than the slipperier Blades for each listening session if that would make the sound better.
