<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the info Martin. I have to find a copy of that issue of S&S. I was hoping the HS80 wa just a powered version of the NS10's retaining all it's character. Off to ebay I go for a pair. </div>
<div>Now there is also the matter of an amp to power them. I haven't looked into an amp for monitors for so long, I wouldn't even know where to begin :( </div>
