Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bass is punchy enough that a subwoofer is not a necessity and won’t be missed. These are 6 ohm rated speakers, so probably averaging 300 watts per channel.

My employer uses a subcontracted employee rewards program and i ordered a pair of speakers as my reward. These speakers are truly magnificent and you won't me disappointed.

Clarity and authenticity of each note seems to be the goal with yamaha. The piano finish luster still shines and presents a nice complement to your entertainment center. This actually enhances the yamaha towers to the point of perfection.

Tv audio is extremely tame and balanced.

Yamaha ns-555 speakers are a very good buy for anybody wanting to setup a good sound system without entering into the rarified realms of audiophilia. The sound as a whole is very clean with taut deep bass and clean, clear mids and highs. Clear sound, ...  Read More



Cons

The speakers lack transient response resulting in decreased sound accuracy especially on low audible frequencies. Not like sealed enclosures, they lack the punch and deep bass tone response.

Price


Their performance is astonishing given the inexpensive price!


Having said that, these speakers are excellent for the price.


I only paid $100 for the pair.


Am an almost audiophile and wasn't sure at first due the fact i paid less than $300 for a speaker, so it could not be true what...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Great speakers and the packaging was also great.


The champagne golden drivers and the silver wave horns surrounding the tweeter simply look stunning.


I found mine at a pawn shop with 4 ns-333 book shelf surrounds and the ns-c444 center with all the original packing costing only $300.


They arrived in a good shape, well packed, attaching the feet was simple, after i plugged the speakers they sounded really mudd...  Read More

Competitiveness


It's interesting that the ns-555 is equipped with the same cone sizes as yamaha's highest end $2000 soavo models.


If you've never had anything better than your conventional name brand speakers, then you would probably be amazed.


B comparisons i know each speaker set has its own pro's and con's.


Yet, they compare very favorably to speakers costing 2 to 3 times as much.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I could go into more details about how good they sound but it really isn’t necessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They are beautifully laminated in a very very very expensive looking piano lacquer finish


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But in time that finish will start to peel and look ugly separating from the cabinet

    If you’ve got a bit more to spend i’d recommend the klh kendall towers for 1299
