First things first - I've spent a fair amount of time in recording studios. My cover band made several demos and I have family members that have recorded several albums and I had the opportunity to sit in on several of the recording sessions. I think every studio I was in had a version of the Yamaha NS series for playback. NS 10 was the one. It was the one that sounded so real. It was the one that could pump out the loud and get down low and quiet and with clarity and realism all the way through. I never could bring myself to fork out the $$$ for em. Then I saw the bright white woofers and mids on these that was the same as the little 10's and the pittance ($129-$150) for which was being asked, I had to try em. These suckers will do it! With a decent amp, I mean like an adcom or a parasound or a high powered marantz or NAD, something with 150 watts per channel or more and a good preamp and DAC of a similar brand will light em up. Amazing!! I'm retired and no longer perform but I like to listen, sometimes, at near performance levels (85-90dB) and these get there with plenty of real and definition and, aplomb is too subtle, solid impact is better. I do use a subwoofer cause I like a double dose of aplomb on rock and modern especially Christine and the Queens, but James Taylor's perfect-album, Never Die Young sounds well, perfect. But even jazz from Holly Cole and/or Monty Alexander come across just like the playbacks in the studio. Actually better cause the 8" woofer gets huge. And with the upright bass the depth and rattles and fingering clicks and body slaps are presented perfectly. Yo Yo Mas' cello, superb. Itztak Perlemans Stradivarius on John Williams Chairman's Waltz from Memoirs of a Geisha, the tone is perfectly hollow and haunting. You can almost sense the passion of the maker of this fine instrument in the sound of the aged wood as Perleman squeezes out each yearning note. This is the best speaker deal on the planet.

I've completely redone my surround sound, listened to a lot of speakers and read till I went blind. I bought these speakers without even hearing them, I took a chance because Yamaha has never let me down. Everything in my htr is now Yamaha and I'm very happy. I've combined them with ns p150 and my sub , they sound awesome. Its not how loud you go its the detail and that's the best thing these speakers hit you with. For the price, looks, sound quality they're unbeatable. When I watch blueray movies or play a game you don't have to blast it loud to hear the great details, just sit back and smile!

It's a big jump from my NS-F 6500, the NS-F150 sound very detailed, the impact on mid range is great and the highs and lows sound correct without bummy or ssss.
