Yes, a few engineers have said that about NS10's..........I came from the world of commercial studios long before I had a home rig and bought NS10's to be compatible with the studios I was working in (Criteria, TK, New River, and a few others back then). But over a short period of time, I learned how to use these speakers and actually trust them even today. Yes, they have a high mid bump and again are bass shy......but if they sounded so bad, no one of any commercial caliber would be using them.

Like I said, the proof is the fact that once you have used them and trust them, ALL your mixes translate to ALL other systems, I don't know why this is and don't care. It just works. The people who bash them just don't get it, no problem. It's what ever gets the job done and if you have monitors that do the same for you, that is most excellent. I'm sure there must be others one would think. 

Interesting discussion on NS10s over on the womb even Ethen Winer chimes in..
 
NSFW some "earthy language" in the replies

A Company in the UK make a repo of the NS10's
These are the SN10. You can find them at Studiospares.

They also make an amp which fits directly on the back of the speakers to drive the units. I have not tryed them however the report i hear are most faverable.
