Wow. Nice price for that pair. I have a pair in mint condition. Makes me think...

The one on the right looks like the cone is screwed up.

NS10s, ProTools, Apple Macs,...

It's funny how professionals choose gear that no self-respecting amateur would want to be associated with.

Ns10's translate well...that's why I'm keeping mine.....sure they're bright, bass shy,etc. but I still love 'em

Proof. I just posted some songs all mixed on the NMS10- everyone agreed they sounded good on their systems too. If there's another monitor that does that for me then I'll buy them.

Ditto that............again, there's a reason that they're still used in major studios.....I think the people that constantly bash them haven't really used them for any length of time....I'd rather mix on them then some powered bass heavy monitor any day of the week

Got a set of NS 10Ms myself and I don't see me getting rid of them.

I remember reading an interview some years ago with a well respected engineer, who As luck would have it, I can't remember, stating the reason everybody used the ns10ms, was because everyone ELSE was using them, and not because they were any good.  ;)

I have never heard or tried NS10 myself, but I understand that many find them very good and they are still used in many professionell studios. 

When I purchased my monitors; Yamaha HS50m, some people I trust, in regards to music gear, compared NS10 with HS50. I compared HS50 with serveral well-known brands, including KRK, Adam, Genelec and Focal. 

For My liking Yamaha beat them all! I prefer a clean and "honest" sound. In mixing this is key for me. I did find e. g. Genelec lacking some "clearance" with too much bass. I understand that people like different sounds, but for me, I go with Yamaha any day:)
