Review on πŸ”Š Black Yamaha NS-555 3-Way Tower Speaker with Bass Reflex (Each) by BU Jang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Use for over 3 years. Sound - the voices of the performers sound as if they were alive. Pure and natural. Not musical? But "musically", these are distortions! Then you will not expect such voices, because musicality is achieved by distortion of the frequency response. And with an equalizer for music, you can tweak these: 200-700Hz - power and pressure 2500-3000 - transparency and air 3000-5000 - sonority and hardness. They collect dust, but wipes for monitors, once a year, are an excellent treatment. High reactance, guaranteed to "roll" budget (and not so) receivers. The sound becomes sluggish and wadded. They need a connection no worse than Bi-Amping! But . high reactance speaks of great diligence of engineers. In ideal acoustics, only it should be. So the amplifier is needed not powerful, but stable. Bass. these speakers are for the 5.1 set. If you need bass in 2.0, then take 777. At 555, it’s better to cut them off to the 150Hz set by the TXT standard and use a subwoofer. To pick up a subwoofer for these speakers is still the same problem. They do not correspond to these columns in terms of distortion, they give out too much "dirt", do not allow them to reveal their potential. I made a self-made sub, on a musical Alpine SWG-1044 in a 60-liter box, with a FI setting of 20Hz. They sang perfectly - the sub stands in the corner like a bedside table, but it seems that the basses come from Yamaha. The speakers are on . Well, count, I have a 150W receiver at 4 Ohms, or 100 at 6 Ohms. +3 dB volume, this is already 200 watts. +10db is 1000W! +10dB on a "weak" amplifier of 60W is already 600W + adding HF clipping. And the limit is only 250! Here the squeakers are burning. And they must burn! - These speakers are for high-quality music, and on powerful tweeters, quality costs a lot more. I listen to music from -40 dB to -20 dB. It's 0.01-1W and the sound is great. For discos, you need to overload the speakers to wheezing. Otherwise there is no drive. - These speakers will burn out, but they will not give out overloads. So don't force them!

Pros
  • Great look and sound. Movies
Cons
  • Honest monitor sound, it can be boring. The quality of the soundtrack comes to the fore. Artifacts are heard not only on mp3, but also on CD. Doesn't play symphonic music. But this is a very, very different price.
