The Absolute Sound's review of the Model 15SE which was published in the hard copy Absolute Sound magazine's April issue is now on line here. Many thanks to Steven Stone and the Absolute Sound staff for the review.

The review is a testament to just how right the latest evolution of the Model 15SE is. The Absolute sound describes the Model 15SE as a high end bargain.

Some snippets from Steven Stones' review:

"If I had to sum up the sound of the 15SE in one word it would be "right."

"The Model 15SE is more even in the lower midrange and upper bass than the LS3/5A."

"... the 15SE's upper frequency response managed to be resolving without sounding bright, and airy without sounding shrill."

"... it got me s close to the music as any system I've heard--whether room or nearfield."

" to my ears, the Model 15SE not only gets the lateral placement correct but also delivers the dimensional cues and boundaries of sources in an especially three-dimensional manner."

"... the 15SE will generate an extremely exciting soundfield."

Many thanks to Terry London and Stereo Times for their review of the Model 75. Regarding the petite Model 75's ability to play large rooms, Terry notes that:

"Even in (his) massive listening space (30' wide by 30' deep by 25' high), this petite-sized speaker effortly preassurized the room with taut percussive bass frequencies."

Announcing our flagship subwoofer. The Bass Foundation Subwoofer Duo is a double bandpass subwoofer that is designed to load the listening space with unmatched fast, powerful, accurate, articulate bass better than alternative designs of similar size and price..

Price $4,495. Promotional price until April 30, 2022: $3,495

The new Model 15SE is a two-way, minimum phase, time coherent loudspeaker system that improves on the previous by using a crossover-less broad band woofer and time coherent tweeter to reproduce music with the kind of ease, coherence, and exhilaration, that few loudspeakers can match.

Because the woofer covers 55 Hz to 7,500 Hz, the fundamental frequency range of  most instruments and voices, there are no crossover induced phase or frequency abnormalities to color the sound in the most significant part of the audio spectrum. The tweeter's output is seamlessly integrated with the woofer's with a 6 dB crossover to cover the harmonics of instruments and voices beyond 7,500 Hz.

Many thanks to Terry London and Stereo Times for their review of the 20M Armada System.

A sample of Terry's comments:

"Every review I have done on NSMT Loudspeaker's models, from the least expensive to the top line references, has provided me with music pleasure in three key areas:
All of the NSMT speakers offer beautiful/natural tonality, timbres, and colors of musical instruments.

All are "champs" at sound staging and imaging.

Mr. Rickett's is a world-class master at transmission line loading/bandpass subwoofers, leading to deep, accurate bass with subsonic extension that can load and surprisingly pressurize a room, based on the size of the cabinet." 

"The 20M Armada effortlessly, even at very high volume levels, allowed the percussive bass drum kicks to fill my acoustic space. The deep extension of the B-3 Hammond organ's bass pedals notes was extremely hard-hitting, but tonality was accurate. I was feeling the psychical ambient air pressure waves as much as hearing the bass notes."

"One of my veteran audiophile friends tried to describe how the 20M Armada sounded to him. He came up with, "it has the speed and details of a big electrostatic panel, with more accurate sized images, but with "big balls" bass and dynamics."

Terry also tested the ability of the Bass Foundation Subwoofer to seamlessly integrate with a wide variety of monitors "...composed of speakers from $600 to $6000 in price from Canton, Wharfedale, Sonus Faber, Harbeth, Role, and Mhi." including the dimunitive Role Audio Skiff. 

Here is what he discovered:Here's what I discovered:

1) The NSMT active bandpass subwoofer was very easy to tune in for optimum performance with each monitor because of its excellent adjustments regarding crossover settings, phase adjustment, and volume levels.

2) If you were blindfolded and did not know you were listening to a small two monitor design with the 20M Amada pedestal, of course, you would swear you were listening to a full-range floor-standing speaker or large panel design with unlimited dynamics and sub-sonic bass extension.

3) With the 20M Amada active bandpass subwoofer pedestal, each monitor's voicing was not lost or interfered with. Still, the power foundation of the lower mid-range and upper bass frequencies was blended seamlessly with that monitor speaker. 

In this regard the Bass Foundation Subwoofers outperformed his highly regarded $12,000 pair of subwoofers.

A new Model 75 has been added to our lineup. It is an all acoustic suspension two-way design with an active subwoofer. Dimensions are 42 H X 9.5 W X 9 D inches. Frequency response is 26Hz to 20kHz =/- 2.5 dBs. Efficiency is 96.5 dBs.

The Model 75 was the first speaker we sold commercially. It was sold by Performance A/V on Sunrise High in Merrick, Long Island, New York, to a customer who A/B-ed the Model 75s against his legendary Bose 901s. He traded in the Bose 901s for the Model 75s. That was quite a confidence booster for a new startup. The new Model 75 is a worthy successor and upholds the old Model 75 reputation for “imaging on the next block.”
