Summary:
After auditioning these I was at first slightly skeptical, as Yamaha have produced some great stuff over the years, but nothing really special apart from their reference monitors the NS10's etc. Instruments they produce are also fanastic value and have had good feedback from many musicians about these. Going onto the the NS300's, I had these up agaist some Missions and other mid range manufactuers and to be honest the Yamahas won hands down. The crisp treble, excellent mid range and tight bass gave to my ears what I was looking for. As a sound engineer the price these were selling at are well worth it in my opinion. I use them in my Home Cinema set up and as they go down to 30Hz I don't even bother with a sub, although for the big explosions they could benefit from having a seperate sub woofer but a minor point if you are using for classical or normal Hi-fi listening. So in conclsuion the Yamaha NS300's are a real steel if you come across a second hand pair snap them up !

Price Paid:  $800.00 from El Palacio de Hierro

Summary:
The Flagship model from Yamaha a couple of years ago is a very good sounding one for the price I paid for. Very smooth highs thanks to its silk tweeter and unusually clear vocals. High eficciency drivers and stable impedance insure that virtually any receiver or amp can handle them. Audiophile grade components reveal bad recordings or very subtle passages that you couln't hear before in your old speakers. Supreme construction and narrow front assure less boxy-sound. Highly recomendable model.

Strengths:
very smooth highs. Vocals come to life with this tweeter. Not ringing, not fatigue present in almost every metal tweeter speaker in the market.

Weaknesses:
A like lack of bass. But the audible bass notes produced are very articulate and strong ones. Nothing that could not be fixed with a subwoofer.
