I like the finish. Sound is very good. You can spend five times more money and get better sound but for this price I am very happy with them.

Truly World class . . .

Even selling now for twice the original cost of just over $300 for the pair...YES...just over $300 a pair, the NS-555's are a very good sounding speaker system that also sports a nicely finished housing simulating piano black lacquer!

I picked up a whole 7 channel NS loudspeaker system consisting of 2ea. NS-555, 1ea. NS-C444, 4ea. NS-333. When I first got these Yamaha NS-555 and hooked them up I new I got a great deal for the $400.00 I paid for the whole system. And also got a 120 watt X 7 channel Yamaha receiver to boot.

1 speaker turned instead of 2

I use it to enjoy myself in listening my best musics and songs
I also use it when i watch telivision and movies.

Attractive Design; Easy to Mount; Easy To Set Up; Good Power Output; Great Sound Quality

I replaced some older Bose 301 I was using as my front left and right and, wow. These speakers completed my home theater system and made such a difference. I was not a big fan of the feet so I did not use them and put the speaker directly on the tile floor next to the home theater cabinet.

These here speakers are awesome. They fill the room quite nicely, a deep bass and you can just blast that sound away. The obvious question is do I buy the 555 or the 777, in my opinion, the 555 is great sound for a smaller type of room.

Brought these speakers on [...] in Sept 2008 and have had them for over a year. Just wanted to provide a simple review regarding their performance. They are a very good entry level speaker (pair for under 0.5K) with great sonic balance lows, mids and highs.
