yamaha NS-515F
Hi all,
i live in Ireland and have been offered a really good deal on a pair of yamaha NS-515F. they are new floor standers. some research in this group suggests not buying speakers from the big manufacturers and to go with specialist speaker makers only. the NS-515F normally retail at =80749 here but i can get them for =80560. could anyone recommend alternatives, can i get better sound for the money? I want them for music playback, the other pieces in my set-up are not to hot, some philips seperates that were okay a few years ago. i am starting the upgrade with the speakers. any help greatly appreciated, Hugh. |

Hello, Hugh. This is a very open-ended question. I would recommend going around and demoing speakers. Bear in mind that even though speaker X may sound great in a large, open store, it may not sound great in smaller quarters. Keep in mind the speaker design per the room that they will be going into: for a large room, you would be better off buying speakers with a 12" or 15" sub, while if it's a small room, speakers with 6" or 8" subs would more than suffice. I would definitely do a test-run of any speaker before I purchased it. Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to seriously test out recent Yamaha speakers, so I can't help you out there. On the average, their build quality is very good, so keep that in mind. Michael Hi Micheal, thanks for the reply and the advice. i couldn't get a demo on the yamaha speakers so i have a lend of some monitor audio bronze 4. they look great and have a detailed high end but the bottom end is not that punchy. My friend has my c.d. player at the moment so i only have my laptop to run tests (not a good way to test i know) but i should have my c.d. seperate back this evening. i am also starting to think that maybe these speakers are showing up my poor amp! cheers, Hugh. |
