I've had these speakers for a little over a year now. I'm very happy with them. I have them hooked up to my Panasonic SA-XR55k receiver (another amazing value for money component) and they sound great for the money.

The sub is small but definitely puts out more than enough bass for my tiny NYC apartment (also was plenty for my previous medium sized living room). It is essential that you calibrate the frequency cut-off properly on the sub - this is the first thing I would do if things sound funny. I keep my reserved for fairly low frequencies, but to each his own.

Mounting the speakers was easy - 2 screws directly into the wall for each. Included white speaker cable was plenty long enough and blends nicely into the walls.

I really like the piano finish on these speakers as well. Definitely scored a few wife points (and space points) with this selection.

Biggest weakness would be in the midrange sounds - but this is the price you pay for satellite sub systems.

OK, first understand what you are buying here. A complete 6.1 speaker system for $140. Second, realize that for this amount of money, most speaker systems stink. However, this one is actually very good and it looks great too. If you are not expecting the world for your $140 then you will be very pleased with this system. The gloss black sats and center are pleasing to the eye, and the small 6.5 in sub is an over-performer. Don't expect it to rattle your floors, but it will produce good solid bass for music and home theater.
This system has plenty of power handling ability, and will work well with most of today's budget and mid fi receivers. These sats are a bit power hungry as they are acoustic suspension type so the volume may need to be turned up a bit to get them to sing.
Again, don't expect this system to compete with $1000 mid fi systems. However, I believe it will do very well against other small budget systems that cost 2-3 times it's price. If you have a small to medium/small room, you should be very pleased with this budget system. I highly recommend it to those looking to enter the world of home theater.

the Yamaha NS-P436 6.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System combined with the Sony STR DG-710 Audio/Video Receiver is an excellent combination. Together they produce a top quality home theater surround sound experience at a very reasonable price. They deliver crisp clear audio as it was intended.

These speakers sound really good. And I am very picky when it comes to the sound of music (no I'm not talking about the movie). Anyway, ignore my attempt to be funny. It is just that I don't really have much to say about them other than I did like the sound of my Sony speakers (that I sold) a bit better and they were a bit louder too. I also think the bass speaker performed a bit better as well. Sorry, I don't remember the model number but I spent about $400 on those speakers about 7 years ago. But overall, these speakers are a solid 4 stars and based on the price I got them for here at Amazon, value would be 10 stars! I got an amazing deal at $85! Wow! Oh by the way, I have a Bose Acoustic Wave $1100 radio. I like the Yamaha speakers better. It provides more full sound, higher highs and lower lows for both movies and music! If you have need of a 6.1 surround speaker system, you won't go wrong with these!

These speakers provide great sound and are able to handle anything my onkyo receiver can deliver.

I bought this system for my PC with digital coaxial output. I'm not sure about high end PC speakers, but this one paired with Sony STR-DG500 6.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver produces much better sound quality than all PS speakers I've owned. And now I have the shiny smooth finish for a change after seeing plenty of plastic PC speakers.

The Yamaha NS-P436 6.1 is great for the started home theater system, and for small living rooms. The Sub is great but also not to powerful due to the smaller cone, i.e. larger the cone, lower the Hz range, better the sound's ability to pass through walls to your neighbours house. The system lacks mid-range, so a couple of front speakers might need to be the next purchases.

Looks great, easy to hide - which keeps the misses happy, great for movies.

The size of these speackers are small. I first bought these for my main veiwing area and I liked the sound especialy from the sub. Then a pair of celetron speakers caught my eye and I bought them. I moved these speakers (minus the sub) to the bedroom with my old reciever (upgraded to a Denon). Extreamly happy with them in the bedroom because of the size and sound.
