Nice, always fancied a pair.

They are sure really nice set of speakers, especially when paired with suitable amplification. But they do look weird without the original model plates.. :)

Behind the link there is message I wrote about my latest NS-1000M pair few months back.. http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?11598-Mika-K-s-system&p=729287#post729287

Agreed , I did read somewhere that the missing name plate is common on these, might try a bit of tipex !!

When you've got the time this *quite* long thread here goes into a fair bit of detail on the NS1000M and what makes them tick:

Wow !! How on earth did he make those logo's ?? I've been searching the net for some !! Just Yamaha logo's for now as I'm sure originals are like rocking horse poo .

Look at the link above (nothing to do with me). I also used a laser cutter to make my badges - the originals are just stickers.

You are THE man matey , thank you .

[YNWaN]

Cool - glad to help :). I did make some pretty much exactly like the ones the eBay chap is selling but in the end I used some more elaborate ones I made from acrylic. I don't know exactly how the eBay ones are done but I used a melamine laminate that is faced with a thin layer of brushed aluminium. I then sprayed it black all over and used a laser cutter to burn off the black creating letters in brushed aluminium (worked really well). I don't know for sure but the eBay ones look extremely similar to mine. I would also say that the price is very reasonable indeed considering the custom graphics and general messing about involved.

I hope you enjoy your Yammies as much as I enjoy mine - really great speakers :).

[andyrlb]

Yeah thanks for that , if I'm honest that bugged me all night ( sad I know ) !! Ordered those , happy days .

[AlfaGTV]

Those look very nice (the ebay one's), thoughnot as good as YNWaN's!

andyrlb, you're in for a treat! At least if youre lucky to have some suitable amplification...
I am feeding mine with the grunt of a Karan KA S270 and they sound absolutely fantastic!

Make sure you get them on some proper stands also, makes a major difference!

[YNWaN]

Thanks Mike for the kind comments, I think the Ebay chap has done a nice job though :).

Yes, I agree about the importance of stands. Unfortunately they can be a bit of an issue for the Yammies as they are a bit of an odd dimension.
