The Avantone CLA-10 are a modern recreation of the ubiquitous Yamaha NS10M passive studio monitors.

The Avantone CLA-10 uses replacement drivers  that have been carefully reverse-engineered from source components and have been used to replace drivers in original NS10M speakers. To recreate these speakers Avantone have used only top shelf materials, some of them far better than the originals. For example the tweeter uses the same phenolic resin doping as the original and provide the same performance curve. The woofer uses the same cone material but uses a modern pressed design instead of the original curl-and-join construction. Its sonic signature however is indistinguishable from the original.

The crossover network has been carefully recreated using capacitors with the exact same value. Furthermore, the inductors match the original in every aspect including DC resistance,  winding dimensions and value.

To match today's stringent requirements, the CLA-10 uses higher grade components than the original which not only ensures current ROHS and WEEE compliance, but also offer much tighter product tolerances and have gone through extensive testing.

To ensure that real-life applications were the same, Avantone have enlisted none other than legendary mixer and NS-10M user Chris Lord-Alge who helped Avantone achieve an exact replica.
