Ha! No, I was referring to the OP - being a mod hasn't changed anything apart from me having MORE respect for the poor devils doing it before, as 99% of the workload is totally invisible.
The trouble with this topic, and there are others focussed on similar gear, is that it's really about historic opinion, and personal satisfaction.
What I mean is that we know with total certainty that the AKG C1000 is, and always was, a horrible microphone, and probably best used for hammering in nails rather than putting in front of singers, musicians or instruments. Total fact. Apart from that of course there are lots of people who have them, know them and get good results. It takes a brave user to use them because everyone knows they're terrible.
The stories and worse, jokes, started in the 1990's and never went away. (Jokes, for the young folk here, are strings of words that when joined up, make lots of people laugh. If you don't laugh, that's fine, the joke just wasn't for you)
C1000's were true Marmite microphones, and people made choices. What you didn't do, was try to convince people it was a good mic, because it was the only one you had. Concensus isn't 100%, just close - and concensus was in the 1990s, they were horrible. People were sort of warned off, and most went with it. Newcomers now may actually buy and use them because the whole thing has sort of faded away.
It also works in reverse. If you are a sax player, the Holy Grail (when you don't have one) is a Selmer MkVI. If you don't have one, you shout loudly about how you love the tone of your Tamagochi, or whatever. You proclaim to everyone how your sax is so good, but secretly covet the Selmer you don't have.
Only when you are famous can you play a different brand proudly (possibly your deal with the new Chinese brand might just have swayed your stance).
This is what is happening here I think. The Yamaha speakers are average, but well known, and glued to famous recordings, studios and artist - but the truth is that many engineers don't even remember if a studio had them or not. The British ones I visited mixed on the big ones and at the last stage somebody would say "Better check them on the NS10s" - all the mix had to do was sort of pass. I remember very well the complainers were always the bass players and drummers - where am I? would be the bass players question and the drummer hated the feeble kick. The rest of the band and record company would maintain it was fine, it's just the NS10s. They were, in the studio, a checking tool. Folk lore grew and bizarrely, people now choose to mix on them. If you were doing TV sound for interviews, or a video edit suite, or BBC radio 4, I think they'd work fine.
My comments, and others, are designed to convince the OP that his understanding of what us ancients used NS10s for is a bit mangled. He wanted a list of hits made on them - they really, really weren't. They were tested on them. What is the point in mixing a bass guitar on loudspeakers that cannot handle them? It isn't his fault at all, they've collected a mythical respect - like the STC/Cole 4038 ribbon, the U47, the NS10, the Selmer Mk 6 and loads of other items. The trouble is, all these products can also be horrible in the wrong circumstances. I play sax a bit, and picked my one out of a small selection of things I could afford 30 years ago. I don;t even know what make it is. A friend who cannot play sax, collected loads - having been told they were good investments and had them all lined up for a photo. I put the same mouthpiece on each one and played a few notes. The Japanese one was easily my favourite - but not the Yamaha, nor the Mk6 or the east German ones. Some were nasty, most OK, but the blind test just 20 seconds or so, easily revealed one that sounded nice, was comfy to hold, easy to play and not too heavy, but solid. Try this test with the NS10s and lots of other similar size speakers and I'm certain the NS10s would not be chosen by most people. A few of course, but not many.
Liking the NS10 sound is perfectly fine, but we'll never be convinced. As a personal choice, we cannot say it's wrong, but few of us would want to swap to them. We also shout loudly to protect other people who might read the praise and promote them even more. Maybe that's wrong, but I rarely change my views - just too damn old!
