NOW SOLD 1970s PAIR Vintage YAMAHA ns-670 Nearfield SPEAKERS Made in JAPAN Studio MONITORS

THESE ARE NOW SOLD For sale is a pair of Yamaha NS-670 3 way Speakers. I am unsure of the exact date they were manufactured, but this model were first made in 1977 and I believe that these are from the 1977-1980 time period. These were considered the gold standard for near field listening at the time and were adopted by many major recording studios world wide, as playback studio monitors. You can hear why this was the case. Clarity and tonal balance without compromising low end. They really do sing. They were made in Japan and imported. Each one has a Hi, and Mid Level tuner on board , so you can customize the sound to match the type of room they are being used in (one of the many reasons they were adopted by studios in the late 70’s and 80’s.) They are also an attractive speaker, in this case finished in a rich teak wood. They have a few scratches, and some wood chips near the bottom end, nothing too bad (I have taken that into account when pricing these). Both Yamaha Speaker grill badges are still attached. They are cosmetically in good vintage condition. These received a 5 out of 5 star rating at hifiengine.com, below are the specs taken from that website.
