I have had mine for 28 years (?). Yes, I have destroyed the HF drivers once, due to a stupid mistake, entirely my fault! Other than this one incident, they have worked flawlessly for the last 28 years. Still sound fine to me and the surrounds on the bass driver appear just fine.
Yamaha NS1000M Reliability
Hi, I have a chance to pick up a pair. Upon doing some searches on the 'net, I constantly came up with posts that owners said they fried the drivers at least once. Is it that easy to over-load the drivers and as far as I recollect from the posts, the drivers are very expensive and hard to find? Can someone please share reliability experience with these 1000s?
