Know before you buy
The NS-2000A handles a maximum input power of 200 watts. To get the best performance, pair them with an amplifier that can provide clean, stable power to drive the four-driver array effectively.
The enclosure is crafted from a blend of Zylon, spruce, and wood. This combination is specifically chosen for its rigidity and acoustic properties, which help minimize unwanted vibrations and ensure the sound remains clear and natural.
With a height of approximately 44-5/8 inches, these floorstanding speakers have a significant physical presence. They are designed to create an immersive soundstage, making them well-suited for medium to large listening rooms where they have enough space to breathe.
The 3-way design uses separate drivers for low, mid, and high frequencies, allowing each to operate within its optimal range. The bass-reflex configuration enhances the low-end output, providing a deeper and more impactful bass response down to 34 Hz.
While they can be placed on most flat surfaces, floorstanding speakers perform best on solid, level flooring. If you are placing them on carpet, ensure they are stable and consider using spikes or isolation pads to prevent resonance and maintain sonic accuracy.
The NS-2000A covers a broad frequency range from 34 Hz to 65 kHz. This wide spectrum ensures that you hear deep, resonant bass as well as crisp, detailed high frequencies that extend well beyond the range of human hearing, contributing to a more realistic and open sound.
