I have posted twice on the speaker forum questions about Yamaha speakers with no response. Guess there is no love for the Yamaha speakers there. I have a Yamaha AS-500 amp and TS-500 tuner with a Yamaha CD player in the bedroom and would like to round the system out with some YAMAHA speakers. The Yamaha NS-333's and the NS- 6490's interest me as I need fairly small 2 or 3 way speakers as the system sits atop my dresser. Any suggestions on these speakers? Thanks
Thomas, personally I think your amp (which is a very nice amp) deserves a speaker of a higher caliber attached to it than either the NS333 or NS6490 (IMO). Do you have a dollar amount you want to limit your spend too? I am in Australia so my pricing will be different to yours but your amp retails here for over $700 and the speakers were around the $350 mark. I am no proponent of vintage over new or vice versa but if you have limited budget have a look at either NS344 or NS200m if you are keen to keep that Yamaha theme/sound - dollar for dollar (IMO) you will get a better sounding speaker - however, they might still be to big for your needs - alternatively keep klipsch's and buy a that turntable.
