Yamaha NS-333

I must say, when I bought these I wasn't expecting a whole lot. First, I didn't expect them to be much bigger than the bookshelf speakers I already had (I bought the Yamaha RX-371 that came with 5 speakers and subwoofer, which for starting out were...

Good frequency range, great highs, beautiful finish

Not much bass, sensitivity could be higher

These are the perfect all around speaker. I'm using them for both the rear on my 9.2 system as well as the front height speakers. In that these are omni directional speaker, the palcement is not as critical - this provides a high degree of flexibility...

Omni directional speakers that provide a high level of flexibility in setting up your system

None noted to date to date, if anything wish the binding post were deeper set - but this is a minor issue

Superb and simply unbeatable in this price range! These speakers truly excel in all ranges but the very lowest bass points, which is what your sub is for anyway. Indeed, I recommend using these as either fronts or surrounds. The sound that comes out of...

Yamaha NS-333

The Yamaha NS-333 are very nice inexpensive surround speakers. Usually when i think of inexpensive i think poor quality, but with these speakers its simply not true. I just today compared my NS-333 with my friends brand new BOSE 201's and i'd have to...
