Replacement Woofer for NS-10M

For decades, the NS-10M was the nearfield monitor of choice for countless engineers and producers; and since Yamaha discontinued it, aftermarket components have become less available and more expensive. If you have consigned a pair of these iconic speakers to your closet due to blown woofers, Sweetwater has good news. Avantone Pro is making affordable, direct-replacement low-frequency drivers for the NS-10M! Drawing upon their decades of driver design, Avantone reverse engineered the original drivers, meticulously reproducing the components and updating the materials to comply with today's RoHS requirements.

Physically and sonically identical

The Avantone Pro AV10 MLF is physically and sonically identical to the original; it's engineered with the same voicing for an exact match throughout the frequency range.

No-hassle direct replacement

The AV10 MLF is a no-hassle “bolt-in” direct replacement for the original NS-10M woofer, requiring no modifications to the cabinet in the installation process.

Rated 5/5
Amazing
Installation was super simple. Note: you have to pull the speaker cable a bit hard to get it off. Unlike other monitor drivers, these do not have a mechanism that releases it. Other than that, very easy.

I cannot hear a difference
I installed these new woofers as mine had been ripped apart by my cat (ouch). I was very worried that they would sound different than my original NS10M woofers but... I cannot hear a difference. If anything, transients might sound a bit tighter and cleaner since my old woofer's rubber surround was starting to stiffen due to age. I still hear the NS10 character in full glory, with its magnificent and revealing mids and fast time-domain response. I got my tried and tested pair of NS10s back, now with clean, very white cones!

Sounds great!
Bought these to replace some woofers on a pair of NS10s I purchased that had a bad woofer. They sound great and easy drop in. They look and sound identical to the original woofers minus the seem on the speaker cone.

Avatone AV10 MLF in NS10M Pros
Dropped these into my NS10M Pro's that had tired woofers... didn't want to deal with eBay/Reverb for questionable vintage drivers.

Direct drop in, 4 solder points... immediately noticed better bass response (I use my NS10s without a sub) and more accurate reflection of frequencies. As with any speaker replacement, things aren't *exactly* like they were... but I'm happy with the change. More precise, more responsive, and the vibe of NS10s is retained (not flattering, but revealing in the midrange, harsh in the right way)... no problems making mix decisions on these. Good work Avantone...
Rated 5/5
Sound right to me
I had one of these overnighted to me (shipped and at my door in less than 24 hours), after one of my original NS-10M Studio woofers started to fuzz out, distort, etc. Popped it in - sounds like the original to my ears. Not a lot of reviews out there (first one here, I believe), so I felt like I was taking a little bit of a chance. I'm glad I did... Thank you Avantone for making these and Sweetwater (and FedEx) for being so quick at getting me back up and going.
