Customer Ratings & Reviews

These speakers are gigantic. They were way too big for what we were looking for. Sound was fine though.

I enjoy these speakers daily. I use them to watch movies and they produce sound well with voices clear and sounds crisp.

Nice speakers probably I d like with more power, but for small spaces is more than enoug

Good value and match my Yamaha equipment. Used for rear speakers on surround system. Nice upgrade

Yamaha Always a good Choice nice-looking excellent sound easy to install easy to operate I will recommend

The speakers sound amazing the clarity is second to none i would recommend these to any o e

I am old school sound. I love 4-way speakers but hard to get. So tried these and found a good substitute.

Sound good good looking but they are fragile. If they drop to the floor for any reason they will brake. Overpriced by at least $49.99

Love these Yamaha speakers!! Complements the Record player and receive wonderfully

Good quality, slow delivery. Disappointed at the in store options

For the price they’re pretty good for what they are

A lot of potential for excellent sound and performance. First, the simple crossover consists of only 2 filter capacitors. The woofer if getting full frequency. The mid range is actually a mid-tweeter, and has too much output compared to the other drivers. And, there is no sound absorbing stuffing in the box. However if you are handy, with a few simple mods you will end up with a respectable sounding speaker. First, you can add a 1mh inductor coil in series with the woofer + wire to help reduce upper frequencies to woofer. Be sure to securely glue it down. Next, add a 10ohm 10 watt resistor in series with the + wire to the mid-range driver to tone it down a little. Then you can cut a 2 hole in back and add a 2 O.D. X 5 inch long port tube the help bring out the lows. Finally, add some acoustic stuffing in the box, covering the back and sides loosely. The end result will be a deeper and more powerful bass, a tad mellower in upper mid's. The entire procedure took me about 3 hours.

These speakers are perfect for my surround system and I use them for my primary rear speakers. I am thinking of getting another pair for my surround back speakers to compliment my Yamaha system to fully utilize my 7.1 Digital Dolby Prologic IIz decoder. Although I have JBL front speakers and a Sony center speaker, the quality of the Yamaha speakers is perfect and these speakers are the perfect add-on. They have a more robust sound than the smaller rear surround speakers I've tested. I may even get a third pair for my other receiver. For the money and for a Yamaha brand, this item cannot be beat.

Have them hooked up to an old Pioneer deck in the garage with Technics turn table. PERFECT sound for when I am working on the car. Loud enough I can sing and not upset the neighbors, and loud enough to hear tuning of the 396 with music. I researched a bit, retired Mechanical Engineer. These seemed as good or better than any others in the price range.

I have these for a few years now and they out did the Klishp R-15M. Best budget speakers without compromising on sound

I bought these speakers not expecting much due to its attractive price. My receiver is a 20-year-old Onkyo TX-8511-B no reason to purchase high end speakers for an aging receiver. I still prefer acoustic suspension 3-way speakers more than 2-way bass reflex speakers. The Yamaha NS-6490 speakers more than met my expectations...exceptional woofer,midrange,tweeter..great sound for the price. The cloth cover and the lightweight design means handle with care...

I am a Home Studio geek intent on finding the best gear at a reasonable price. My main speaker monitors are Tannoys that have a great overall range for mixing, Good lows, mids, highs. They were around $400.00 for the pair. I thought I would get some standard stereo speakers to check out my mix on my stereo. Yamaha has always been admirable in my book. However these speakers prove the old adage, "you get what you pay for". The speakers had no bottom end at all, even when I tried to e.q. them with various music cds,. I took the 8 inch driver out and the quality was shameful. I know it had to have weighed less than a pound. In Yamaha's defense, I know they make great studio monitors as well as good, more expensive, stereo speakers. I can't say that about these. These will serve as a good project by replacing the speakers with better quality speakers and serve as a good lesson in 3 way design. The cabinets look very good.
