Another top of the line Japanese speaker arrived a while back the Yamaha NS-690 speakers built in 1972.
This was one of Yamaha's best selling speaker and was on the market a few years before the NS-1000 reigned supreme in the Yamaha line up.
according to the literature Yamaha engineered with a European sound and design in mind. these do look very similar to the Dual CL490's that I recently picked up.
These speakers matched best with solid state gear over the tube amp and I have paired it with the Noresco 2570 which sounds fantastic.
