4.0 out of 5 stars Not very efficient, but they rock nonetheless
Yamaha takes natural sound seriously and these speakers deliver the kind of fidelity for which you could expect to pay much more. That's not to say they can fairly compete with any high end system, but if you're not ready to lay out $1000, these speakers are entirely adequate and will get the job done for much less. One caveat: They're rated at 6 ohms impedance and are...

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak!
Wow..when I received these speakers I thought that they would rock and sound great with my 4 other Yamaha speakers and receiver. Boy was I wrong! With my total set up of 5.1 digital, they sounded ok. When I set my receiver on stereo is when I found out how weak the speaker really are!! Only with a powered sub were they alright. I had to send these back and bought...

That's not to say they can fairly compete with any high end system, but if you're not ready to lay out $1000, these speakers are entirely adequate and will get the job done for much less. One caveat: They're rated at 6 ohms impedance and are best complemented by a decent active subwoofer. 6 ohms doesn't seem like a big deal until you put power to them. Expect to drive them harder than speakers with 4 ohms impedance or less, but after that it's all good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Speakers that do their job, September 23, 2005

This review is from: Yamaha NS-125F 2-Way Bass-Reflex Tower Speakers, Black (Pair) (Electronics)
I did a lot of looking at reviews and spec's on a lot of speakers to replace my Altec Lansing floor speakers which have incredible sound, but all that blast power isn't needed anymore and I wanted something to go more with the HDTV rather than the CD's. These Yamaha's fit the bill. Good looking, small satellite stands fit the bill. Good timbre sound for voices and enough midrange to do the trick. Along with my subwoofer (should have with these) and small rear spkrs, why I am all set. Oh yeah, they look good w/the TV also. If you want better, if you have real high sound sense ( which 99.5 don't have), spend a couple grand each not $200 bucks. These are a good value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers - Subwoofer a must, April 2, 2007
This review is from: Yamaha NS-125F 2-Way Bass-Reflex Tower Speakers, Black (Pair) (Electronics)
These are awesome speakers. They have a very natural sound to them a project very well. All speakers being made now should be accompanied with a subwoofer though. I was used to the old style three way speakers that have 12 inch woofers. They didn't give you the real low end but it was enough for the small room I have these in. These do have a good mid range though, which is surprising for how small the speakers are.

When I set my receiver on stereo is when I found out how weak the speaker really are!! Only with a powered sub were they alright. I had to send these back and bought what I should have bought in the first place. The NS-555's. Do yourself the favor and spend the extra $100 bucks on the NS-555's and listen to real speakers!!!!!

This review is from: Yamaha NS-125F 2-Way Bass-Reflex Tower Speakers, Black (Pair) (Electronics)
I bought these speakers to replace a pair of old Infinity speakers that actually cost a lot more. I was a little nervous buying such an inexpensive pair of main speakers but I really liked the look of them and you can't beat the price, so I gave it a try. I use them for music and home theater and I must say I am very happy with their performance, especially for the price.
They have well rounded sound, can handle pretty high volume levels without distortion and they look great. I also got the matching Yamaha SW315 sub woofer and the combination really sounds great for both music and movies. These speakers must be used with a sub woofer if you want any bottom end sound. This is by design.
When being driven with my Dolby 5.1 system this speaker set up shakes the house when watching action movies or listening to loud music! I couldn't ask for higher sound levels. Good price, good sound, good deal!

2.0 out of 5 stars Simply not a professional Speakers, January 6, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yamaha NS-125F 2-Way Bass-Reflex Tower Speakers, Black (Pair) (Electronics)
Very dissapointed with the sound.

I am a huge fan of Yamaha.

I had two home theater receiver with 6 speakers.(SPS-9500P)

I am up grading into 7 channel and for the firs time, I am matching with Onkyo home theater receiver with Yamaha center speaker (bought new to boost the diologue) and the two front.

This two front is dissapointing. I went back to my previous Yamaha speaker, SPS-9500P, which is 6 speaker set.

It's rediculous since the 6 speaker system is around 260$ and this two speaker is almost 180$.

Now the two speaker that I bought is only for decoration purpose since it's very cute and classic.

Don't buy it !
