User rating from audioreview.com:

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.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Points
