The EXP Model 5 Sybwoofer Satellite System

Combining our EXP subwoofer with a pair of our minimonitors delivers astonishing bass performance on par with much larger floor standing loudspeakers, and imaging that no large speaker can match, while providing the utmost flexibility in placement.

Sub-Sat SystemModel (1 EXP and 1 pair Model 5)

1 EXP subwoofer and  1 pair of Model 5 package price $1,055

"This sat, sub combination is a steal. The sound is rich, the soundstaging convincing and the bass goes deep....and with the small size of the sat speakers, my wife is reasonably happy too...Hooked up to my Cambridge Audio Electronics for a total of $2k this system sounded almost as good as my $10k system." Audioreview.com Doug Schneider of Soundstage.com has this to say about the Model 5 and EXP: Model 5 "I was left shaking my head at the fact that such big sound came from such little boxes." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) The Model 5 "...seemed to image like a hologram." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com ) EXP "The EXP is an elegant-looking package thats attractive enough to sit out in the room or neatly tucked away in a corner or near a wall." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com) "The quality of the bass that the EXP delivers is tight and tuneful" (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com)   Reviewed by: Charlie Cook, Audio Enthusiast, from Local, CT USA Audioreview.com Summary: This sat, sub combination is a steal. The sound is rich. The soundstaging convincing and the bass is goes deep. While not as good as my $2k Theils, I consider this the perfect speaker system for my video system and with the small size of the sat speakers, my wife is reasonably happy too. I first learned about these speakers from a magazine review but with no local dealer was stuck. North Country Audio solved my demo dilema by shipping me the system at not cost to demo and return at my leisure. When I first hooked them up, I was in a word disappointed. They sounded harsh and unmusical. I was ready to return them but decieded to let them burn in for a couple of days. Meanwhile the sound grated on my nerves. Then all of a sudden around the fourth or fifth day they started to sound magical and I couldn't stop listening. Hooked up a Cambridge Audio electronics for a total of $2k the system sounded almost as good as my $10k system. Highly recommended! Strengths: Clarity Smooth Midrange Weaknesses: None for the price

The EXP Model 5SE Sybwoofer Satellite System
 The Model 5SE is a hot rod version of the Model 5 optimized for even greater imaging and soundstaging!

Sub-Sat 2 System Model (1 EXP and 1 pair Model 5SE)

1 EXP subwoofer and  1 pair of Model 5SE package price $1,225.50

"This is a serious little speaker." (From review of Model 5SE and EXP by Positive Feedback Online, 2008) "... they are remarkably inexpensive for what they do…which is to produce great sound, lots of it, all from a footprint you can put just about anywhere." "I was really shocked with these little darlings, first because little speakers generally sound …well, little. Also, most often they are way-peaky with pesky frequency dips and valleys a Sherpa would find daunting …and of course, the big bear …no bass …not even enough to mate effectively with a sub. The NSM Model 5-SE is the first truly tiny speaker I have heard to avoid these common pitfalls." (From review of Model 5SE and EXP by Positive Feedback Online, 2008)
