 Best bookshelf speakers for less than $150/pr |

| I ordered these a couple years ago to use as side and rear surround speakers in a 7.1 channel setup. I also ordered the NS-777s floor standing towers + the NS-C444 center channel. These are very nice speakers but you need to break them in for a long time. These speakers have a bass reflex design eg they're ported. These speakers are also known to have a slightly recessed mid frequency output, but overall they sound very good for the money. They are perfect for home theater applications. They are clear with music but again the mids are slightly recessed. The highs on this speaker are very strong and metallic because it uses an aluminum dome tweeter. They sound similar to the titanium domes. The highs are not soft/smooth like silk/fabric domes. The metal dome coupled to the integrated waveguide disperses the highs very well though. The speakers cabinets have a very nice glossy piano black finish to them which makes them look very expensive and classy. It's unfortunate that Yamaha has stopped using their trademark white spruce cones on their speakers. Those cones were the best. |
A working mans pleasure!

Do you have a BMW or shop in Birmingham Michigan? If yes, you can afford to waste big money getting that bigger speaker name. Five percent more listening pleasure for 200% more money. Go for it! For the working man... these beauties are a rare find. I love these speakers...with the sub woofer. The price, quality, reviews, listening experience grabbed me. I love it when I can clearly hear separation left, right or center (NS-444 displaying excellent musical separation. I sit in my chair and squirm like a kid. Hey, I'm 61. The quality is there. The piano black Finnish is superb. The Yamaha NS-333 price is for the working man. The quality is for The Beamers. The sound is for all of us.

I am currently using these as my fronts until I get the standing speakers, however they are great surrounds! Perfect size, and enough power for a trilling sound experience. My Yamaha receiver has drastically sounded better the moment I replace my old Philips speakers with these. There is great depth and realism. I recommend Yamaha speakers for sure!

I was Impressed with the sound that these speakers produced in my small living room. At 100/120 RMS, these will run circles around any BOSE! Keep in mind that this is a Mid to Hi-range Speaker, so for the Low range, you will need a Sub. (If you use these for your front speakers.)
In addition, the NS-555 and -777 is essentually the same as the -333(given, larger enclosure) with 2 low-range speakers (with seperate +/- Posts).
For cinema it may be best to buy 2 or 3 pair for a 6/7 channel reciever and a Sub woofer, than to spend money on the (2)555 or (2)777.

| Own a pair of these, that I use for the rear channel of my surround system. For what they do, and for the price, they can't be beat. If you are cash strapped and need to use these for a main channel, you'll need a sub-woofer. One could spend much more, but why? |
