Yamaha NS-333 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker System Black

Two Way Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speaker System

Great sound at a great price! Please note: these speakers are currently selling for over $300 new wherever they are available.

Yamaha's NS-333 speaker system has been designed specifically for home theater applications. The bookshelf speaker is a bass-reflex design that can be used for main or surround channels and incorporates a 5" Polymer-Injected Mica Diaphragm (PMD) cone woofer and a 1” aluminum dome tweeter. For improved imaging, the tweeter utilizes Yamaha's exclusive waveguide horn.

Waveguide Horn

Unlike most homes, movie theaters use sound-absorbing materials on walls and ceilings. The result is that the sound reaching your ears is the sound wave produced by the speakers rather than reflected off the walls. Yamaha has created waveguides that significantly reduce reflected sound and increase the proportion of directly generated sound waves reaching your ears. The result is a clear and precise sense of sound direction and placement.

Internally Wired with Monster Cable

Yamaha has chosen to ensure optimum sound quality by internally wiring some of the components with Monster Cable. This ensures a clean, clear signal from the crossover network to the speaker driver.

These speakers have some very, very minor scuffs, almost imperceptible to the eye. I've done my best to capture this in the photographs.
