Отличная модель
- + Играют данный АС очень сбалансированно , верха не назойливы но в тоже время четкие и яркии ,середина очень хорошо отыгрывает свой диапазон, бас ну как сказать зависит от источника ! есть у меня два источника 1)цифровой ресивер Panasonic 6*100ват на 6ом , верха и середина на нем четкие а вот с басами проблема они тоже хорошо себя показывают но нет объема и глубины ) подключены проводами от монитор аудио серии про лимит 2*2.5мм сделаны в Германии 1100руб за метр покупались лет 12 назад , второй источник интегральный усилитель Ямаха А-S300 он не шибко мощный но его хватает сним реально не нужен Саб я его просто выключаю ) тут все на месте верх середина и незы чувствую объем, нет никакой каши все инструменты отыгрывают четко ,благо есть чем тестить спасибо журналу аудио и видео за тест диск , если только брать для стерео то нужен чистый интегральный усилитель без всяких радио тюнеров и хорошим кабелем и будет вам ВАУ))) они себе полностью покажут .
- - Есть и огрехи производителя ( брак) у моих колонок верхняя крышка плохо прилегала по краям и от туда сифонил воздух когда включаешь по сильней,разобрал и проклеил , за ту цену которую я их купил (12999руб) с помощью купона в одном из магазинов простительно но остался осадок ,писал в тех поддержку ямахи они очень удивились этому явлению .

I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these speakers. I have had them for one month now, and am enjoying them more all the time. They replaced some vintage JBL LX-44s in my 2.1 music listening system, and I couldn't be happier. I had previously installed (and returned) Def Tech BP8Bs, but didn't like the 'bipolar' sound so I went back to my trusty JBLs.
I was originally driving them with a Yamaha RX-V867 (high end consumer grade AV amp). When I just changed the speaker wires over, I was not impressed (muddy highs..). Then I re-ran the YPAO process to adjust the internal equalizer to them. Much better... And per some previous comments, I did about 40 hours of 'break-in' and they rewarded me nicely.
Placement is important for bass response since they are rear ported. Mine are about 18" out from the wall at the back, which seems to be where the bass sounds the best. In fact, I've turned off my sub-woofer for most listening, and haven't missed it.
Then I hooked them up to a new Yamaha analog stereo amp (RS-700), and they took off. Yes, it's near the same power (95W vs. 100W), but they sound totally different: Much more 'open', much better sound stage, and absolutely clear. Vocals are outstanding, and if I close my eyes, I'm sure there's a piano in front of me sometimes. I have been enjoying listing to Larry Carlton guitar background fills on Steely Dan tracks, and hearing an 'ambiance' that I've never heard before on well recorded CDs (Norah Jones, Diana Krall...).
A clean source is essential with this combo... I use a Marantz CD5004 for CDs, and I'm considering an Oppo for SACD. And I might even get my old Dual turntable tuned up and give it a 'whirl'.
Price seems to have gone up since 2005, but the speakers are still a great deal. Remember that these are 6 ohm speakers, so make sure your amp is compatible.

I wanted to wait to write my review till I used them for awhile. I've been using these for almost a year now and I can say for the first time I am totally satisfied with these speakers. I originally bought these for my main speakers but shortly after hearing how good they sound I bought the NS777's to use as front main and moved these to rear only because the 777's look more the main part. I also use the NS-C444 as my center. Not only do they all sound great, but look great, grills on or off. I use them with a Pioneer SC-1223 receiver and an OPPO 103 universal disk player, and a Klipsch 12" sub, all of which I researched on Amazon and the reviews on all these things helped me make my decisions on buying them. Most of the reviews on these speakers were great and the people making the reviews sounded genuinly excited about them unlike reviews on other speakers. I can't be happier with the purchase of these speakers, they sound great, look great and are affordable. These speakers are everything everyone says about them, low volume or high volume the sound is natural, clean and crisp, every instrument sounds exactly like it should and no matter how much power I send them, they handle it effortlessly

In short, these speakers are an incredible value. I Craigslisted a pair of these from a moving-sale (best way to get the best deals btw). I only paid $100 for the pair...which came with a crappy 1,000 Watt RCA receiver, queen mattress, and a mountain bike.
After hooking these up to my 20 something years old Technics SA-160 receiver, the sound was so good it inspired me to look up specs... lots of specs. I knew I was getting a good deal based on Amazon reviews before I bought them. After weeks of listening and web research, I can confidently say the guy I got them from didn't know their value or was sick of moving his stuff, and their audio quality is worth much more than they're sold for new. They are made with high quality materials, including Monster cables on the inside. Bass is deep and accurate, mids are full, and highs are crisp. These speakers bring out sounds that I can't even hear on my Sony speakers, such as light high-hat tapping of drum sets in certain songs.
If you're not buried in College or Credit card debt, buy these!
Things to consider before buying them:
match the ohm rating on your receiver with these speakers. These speakers are rated at 6 ohms, and a lot of receivers are rated at 8 ohms. This rating has nothing to do with performance, but it's relatively important to match, especially if you're listing at loud levels for long periods of time.

Excellent speakers
Yamaha has what I call a "flat" sound. Clarity and authenticity of each note seems to be the goal with Yamaha. Lots of other speaker systems embellish the bass, largely because many music lovers enjoy a stronger bass register in their music. I notice this each time I get into a shared vehicle at work. The tonal adjustments are invariably set to heavy bass before I set them back to neutral or slight treble increase. I dare say it you get these speakers, you won't be blown away at first. The speakers simply reproduce what was recorded and no more. However, if you love unmolested sound from your speakers, you'll love the Yamaha NS-555. BTW, I no longer use my sub-woofer with these speakers.

I have owned the Yamaha NS-555 speakers for about six months...Their performance is astonishing given the inexpensive price!
My previous system consisted of a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE monitors ($3500.00), a Krell KAV-300r receiver ($3500.00), and an Arcam CD 37 CD player. That system was absolutely phenomenal, but it was supposed to be, that was expected. I decided to downgrade and pocket some cash to help finance my master's degree and sold the whole system off. After some serious research I bought a used Yamaha AX-592 2 ch. integrated amplifier for $75.00 (mint), a Yamaha DVD-S2700 (list $1000.00) for $180.00 off ebay, and the Yamaha NS-555 tower speakers. I was expecting disappointment, instead I received a pleasant surprise! This inexpensive system is fantastic sounding! This system proves the axiom of diminishing returns...You would have to spend $3000.00+ to equal this current system. The sound as a whole is very clean with taut deep bass and clean, clear mids and highs. My audiophile friends cannot believe the sound quality/price ratio! At the price of the NS-555s I expected nasally voices, harsh highs, and sloppy, bloated bass. Instead I found beautiful clean voicing, smooth treble and fantastic bass pitch and definition! The NS-555s are not comparable to my former Dynaudios but they were never meant to be. Yet, they compare very favorably to speakers costing 2 to 3 times as much.
The NS-555s are only moderately efficient at 89dB 1w/m so they require a relatively powerful/high current amplifier to extract their potential. They have a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and considering that loudspeakers generally vary to between 2 ohms to 16 ohms impedance, a stable, strong amp is highly recommended! My Yamaha AX-592 outputs 140 wpc into 8 ohms, 220 wpc into 4 ohms and nearly 480 wpc into 2 ohms. You would need one monster home theater receiver to approach these numbers and none that I know of can truly do it with 5 or more channels driven. I will say it again give them power and they will sing!
The very fine build quality of the NS-555s belies their price. The cabinetry is solid but not over-the-top. The cabinet is lined with padding, the crossover is very well put together with quality parts, the drivers are of nice quality and the finish is very nice, they look rather expensive. I have received numerous compliments on their beauty.
I most highly recommend the Yamaha NS-555 speakers to any aspiring audiophile. These speakers are great for music and movies and I cannot imagine a better bang for-the-buck! They have excelled at all generes of music from Miles Davis to Metallica. Yamaha has found a way to bring high-end sound to the masses, all of my equipment is very well put together, looks very good and sounds fantastic!
Excuse me, I am going to sit down and listen to some music on these fine speakers!!!

I bought these speakers because Yamaha has a great reputation in making great musical and sound products. However, these speakers were great dissapointment to me because they did not sound good. 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. I used to own a pair of sealed enclosure Yamaha floor speakers and I tell you, they provided more accurate, tight, and deeper bass sound response. When compared with my old pair of Yamaha speakers, the Yamaha NS-555 speakers are smaller in size. The only plus side about these speakers is the cabinet finish. They are well made. I returned the speakers for a refund.

Somewhat of a biased review because I've only used these paired with a subwoofer. I actually bought these over the NS-777's to save money because I knew my lower frequency range would be covered my my subwoofer and A/V receiver's built-in tuning algorithms.
Having said that, these speakers are excellent for the price. I wouldn't consider any other floorstanding speakers until the +$800 range.

I am going to keep this simple. These are the best speakers I have ever owned!!! Especially for the pice! 2 woofers, 1 tweeter and 1 mid range driver on each tower!, I have a top of the line onkyo receiver and These speakers rock the house with loud and clear, crips sound!! One day I realized my subwoofer wasn't even connected. That's when I realizes that I didn't even need the subwoofer with these tower speaker. I Never even reconnected that subwoffer again lol. These speakers are truly magnificent and you won't me disappointed. these tiers. Guess it wasn't so short lol. It's because these speakers are truly the bomb!

First off, the speakers are gorgeous. I was blown away by the mirror black surface.
Second, they weight 44 pounds a piece! Quality really does scale with weight.
It's interesting that the NS-555 is equipped with the same cone sizes as Yamaha's highest end $2000 Soavo models. One 1", one 5", and two 6.5". It must be ideal.
The 30Hz - 35kHz is best in class.
Without surprise, they hands down beat my Bose car system.
If you want ridiculous bass, you obviously need a powered sub. But you certainly don't need one, especially if you simply add 3dB to your receiver's low-end via the equalizer or "bass" adjust. With the right content, satisfying bass will fill a large room.
TV audio is extremely tame and balanced. The full frequency range is there.

These speakers are the perfect addition to a Yamaha receiver. They sound great and the piano finish gives them a very nice touch.
These speakers allow you to enjoy a truly home theater experience; the mids and highs sound great and the bass is very good. These speakers sound so good that sometimes I prefer to listen to music or concerts just with these two front speakers instead of the 5.1 setup.
I took advantage of the bi-wiring capabilities, which I would advise to do it to take full advantage of these speakers.
Please consider that these are big speakers for people who really want to enjoy a HOME THEATER experience. I would definitely buy them again!

I've given these yamahas a decent break-in period (100hrs), and now I'm hearing its full potential. I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm an audiophile and throw would be customers for a loop with technical mambo-jumbo...But for the price its pretty solid. If you've never had anything better than your conventional name brand speakers, then you would probably be amazed.
For the price, there are better more accurate speakers you can get... but these are good speakers that will probably keep you happy until you're ready for a better sound stage...

I recently hooked up a pair of these NS-555 speakers from Yamaha as the fronts for my surround sound system which are of course the mains for any 2 channel stereo music listening. Originally, I had some small Yamaha bookshelf speakers, the NS-6490's in the front but when I replaced my OLD Sony home theater receiver with a Yamaha RVX663 I found the 6490's a little wanting. After looking at a number of speakers in my budget and the reviews of the NS-555's on a variety of web sites I decided to do an "all in the Yamaha family" selection and got them.
Hooking them up and playing them the initial sound was a bit too stiff in a seemingly precise but harsh way HOWEVER after about 90 minutes of play time there was a more than a subtle change in the sound quality as they smoothed out tremendously yet still very natural, precise sounding.
Some people do not believe that speakers are capable of "breaking in" but to my ears this was a substantial change. They sound very good now and there are those that say it takes about 100 hours of playing for speakers to completely break in. I feel there is no doubt there will be some improvement in the coming weeks, althought I doubt as dramatic as that at about 90 minutes in.
A small number of some reviewers report that the NS-555's do not have enough bass capabilities. i on the other hand can report that I am more than pleasantly surprise at the bass response I am getting from them and I am using a single lead hook up. Yamaha's design allows for bi-wire hook ups on the NS-555's, using seperate leads for the midrange and tweeter then a lead specifically for the woofers, it maybe possible to then increase the bass response to a higher level. I am willing to try the bi-wire set up and have some good spade connectors on their way for that purpose. The NS-555's can take banana plug ins also which is quick and easy.
Currently I am using the OPPO DV-983H DVD player also as the CD player and it really compliments the system well. The picture is excellent thru the RXV663 and the sound from both DVD's, CD's, SACD's and a variety of DVD audio titles have all been great. CD listening seeems to be the most clear and natural when using the RXV663 two settings that are close in sound "Straight" and also a "Pure Direct" that really allow the speakers to shine with the content of a good sounding CD. Some CD's where the recording is from really old sources like poor tapes and 78's can benefit from some of the sound scenes the amp can produce.
MSRP for these are $249.95 for a single so $500 for the pair. Careful searches can find some really good bargins on these so look carefully.
Fit and finish seems top notch and the sound rivals some speaker systems I have heard that are at a much higher price point. So far in the sound quality for dollar aspect these are hitting a home run in my book.

Brought these speakers on Amazon in Sept 2008 and have had them for over a year. Just wanted to provide a simple review regarding their performance. They are a very good entry level speaker (pair for under 0.5K) with great sonic balance lows, mids and highs. The bass response has developed over time, at first I thought a subwoofer would always be necessary, although a subwoofer has its role in a home theater system; these speakers will hold their own in a stereo setup. I have removed the cross-over bridging clips and run separate amps to the bass and treble sections of each speaker from my Yamaha RX-V663. Highly recommended speaker. The piano finish luster still shines and presents a nice complement to your entertainment center. One will be very pressed to find a 3-way speaker pair of this quality and price.
Update: Dec 2011, These speakers are still providing great service and sound a pair of smooth broken-in speakers. No complaint.

These speakers are outstanding, in both performance and looks. Not sure why they're somewhat ignored by the "audiophile" world, must be the reasonable price. I compared the 555's directly against the current Infinity Primus 3-way tower model. The Infinity's are excellent. But, the Yamaha's seem so much more "musical" with greater detail, focus and depth. Get a pair of these along with a good subwoofer and you won't go wrong! You owe it to your ears!
Short term follow up for anyone interested. Had them for a little over 3 months now and they do indeed "get better with age." The soundstage has "widened" but still retains mid/treble focus and the bass has smoothed out nicely. Turned the subwoofer way down. Not sure what's up-breaking in maybe?-but they're sounding better and better.

The soundstage has "widened" but still retains mid/treble focus and the bass has smoothed out nicely. Turned the subwoofer way down.

After reading the favorable reviews on Amazon about these speakers I deceided the Yamaha's had the most favorable feedback in their price range. When able to hear different speakers in A vs. B comparisons I know each speaker set has its own pro's and con's. Not finding a store nearby to demo I took a chance based on others comments. The true test of any speaker pair is how they sound in your living room. These sound great,look great and I'm very happy with my purchase.

These speakers are immersive, and that's the only thing that really counts. When you sit down to listen, you don't want to leave. Seconds become minutes become hours; these are the speakers that you could lose days with, just dreaming and beautifully drowning in music. (For the setup geeks: my setup is two of these, an HK 3485 receiver, Cambridge D500 special edition CD-player, Kenwood CT-203 tape player, and 16-gauge speaker wire with Monster banana plugs.) For 2-channel music listening, you really don't need a subwoofer unless you're a total bass fiend.
And the looks? They are polished black and simply ooze class. The speakers don't take up much space either width-wise or depth-wise. In fact, they're smaller than the speakers I replaced, though a bit taller. The height is just right for sitting in a chair and listening, so you don't have to worry about that either. Finally, some assembly is required -- you have to screw in the feet (four per speaker), and they go in fairly deep.
In short, immersive.
