Product Description
The luxurious finish of the cabinet, similar to that used on Yamaha grand pianos, indicates the outstanding quality of this speaker system. The 3-way acoustic suspension design features a 20cm (8") high compliance, pearl white, long throw cone woofer with a cloth surround and an inverted dust cover. The midrange is a 10cm (4") ferro-fluid cooled, pearl white cone type with an inverted dust cover. The 2.2cm (7/8") balanced-dome tweeter is also ferro-fluid cooled. The speaker is magnetically shielded so it can be used near a TV, and has gold-plated banana plug compatible terminals.

 Pretty good speakers. November 12, 2008
I bought these speakers about 6 months ago, and am happy with them thus far. Currently, they're hooked up to a Yamaha 5.1 receiver, but I'm only running them stereo. So many people said the speakers lacked bass, so I dragged out a powered sub I had and hooked it up. Eventually, I found that the speakers produced adequate bass for me, so I've removed the sub all together.
I was a little disappointed when I first hooked up these speakers because the bass was too over-powering and the mids were really lacking. I tried adjusting my receiver to lower the bass and increase the mids, but nothing seemed to work to my liking, so I did what anyone would do; I just played it at higher volumes. I'm writing this review because the other day I realized that the mids have developed over the past months of use, and now the speakers sound smooth and produce a very clean sound. So children, I guess the moral of the story is that patience is, in fact, a virtue! I gave it 4 stars because of the extraordinarily long break-in.
Easy on the Eyes and Wallet, a little rough on the Ears September 18, 2008
I found thse speakers to be a great bargain and they definitely look nice, but their tone is warm to the point of being harsh. The highs are extended to be sure but there is no weight to the bass and the mids shrivel under those rough high tones. Turn the treble down halfway, turn the bass all the way up and dial in a good sub. They can be made to sound fairly resolute and detailed with a little tuning. However they lack that clear refined sound when running straight signal to them without tone adjustments, which higher end speakers exhibit with less effort. 4 Stars because of the price and the abitlity to tune them with a good sub. Subtract one star for every $10.00 increase above their current price. Decent, pretty looking home theatre mains if you have nice stands.

I anticipated better performance from these three way bookshelf speakers made by Yamaha. My Carver Sunfire center channel speaker over powers these speakers with ease. The response is quit slow and lacks the crisp highs and bottom end bass that I was seeking when I purchased these speakers.

I have had these speakers for a long while. When I one day realy turned my stereo up the tuner clicked to protected mode. I reset it it done it again and again. I put a ohm meter to them to check the speakers and each one was at 5 ohm! Not what they rated them on the speakers 8 ohm. If you have a hi-fi stereo that needs 8 ohm speakers dont do these they will burn up the radio or amp I even contacted Yamaha to see if they was a recall. They replied there was nothing wrong with the speakers I let them know they made a mistake on rating them 8 ohms. I'm now using them in the back of my car with a amp seeing how their not sutable for my home system.

WOW! What an outstanding product. They handle tons of power, it can output a lot of bass without distortion and the overall sound is exceptional for the price and size. Using as FRONT speakers in my setup. Sound clarity is also very good.
