Good value speakers for a small system.

Wonderful full range speakers we use with a Dolby Atmos surround system for television.

Yamaha NS-6490 Bookshelf speaker

Decent speakers for the price. Not professional but sound pretty good. Fairly large for a bookshelf speaker.

only okay as received, but has tremendous potential

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" X 5" 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.

Good sound

These speakers sound really good. I put a 8 inch SW with them for a better low end sound. But they sound good without Sw well worth the money

NS-6490 That's What They Sound Like

I could go on and on about imaging, timbre, transparency etc. etc. instead do this.(1) Go to your grand piano, (or your friends if you don't own one) raise and prop up the lid. (2) Play any piece you like and remember the sound. (3) Set the volume of your system to match the size of your listening room. (4) That's what they sound like.

Great sound without breaking the bank!

These are fantastic speakers for the price range. No, they will not compete with $1000 or $10,000 a pair speakers, but for their class, they're fantastic. They have clear and crisp sound, good range and power handling. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants good sound with our breaking the bank.
