Description: You’re looking at a rare beautiful set of speakers. They have individual serial numbers. They function perfectly and sound great! The NS18 was produced between 1969-1976 - given its rarity on the second hand market, apparently only a very small series. NS18 is a dipole speaker with an asymmetrical 18 x 23 inch woofer/midrange driver with some very special cone material and ALNICO magnet system. Frequencies from 5 kHz up are handled by a bullet-type horn tweeter JA-05036B, the level of which can be adjusted with a three-step attenuater. The cross-over is of a second order, and some EQ is applied to 1-5 kHz. NS18's claimed frequency response is 35-20000 Hz, and the sensitivity 100 dB. Own a set of the famous "Natural Sound" NS-18 speakers. They are complete, in very good condition, and all drivers function properly. They are a very nice example of a very rare speaker. Yamaha's NS-18 speakers are a piece of Hi-Fi history. Introduced in 1967, they were the first of the "Natural Sound" series of HiFi speakers for the home; and represent Yamaha's official entry into the US home audio market. These unique speakers utilize a large enclosure with a fairly shallow depth; housing a large styrofoam diaphragm that was designed to mimic the shape & characteristics of the human ear. These are vintage and not new, you can see all of the imperfections in the pictures. You can see that the one speaker is missing the Yamaha tag and has some staining on the grill. These may have or will have imperfections such as but not limited to: scratches, scrapes, dings, dents, stains, dust, patina, rips, holes, cracks, etc.
